thanks for taking time to replay, and again sorry for the basic questions: but the html 5 games created with construct2 can run on browsers for desktops without any additional application/tools, and can be integrated on facebook, etc but to get the same game to run on mobile devices there's an additional step necessary ("middleware" like you've mentioned cocoonjs, etc) to get them to run properly. is that correct? do you recommend cocoonjs integration for mobile devices, or do you think more people play online via facebook, etc?

thanks for the replay, i also agree that to save performance the sprite is edited/saved that way; i just dont know how they give sprites that clossy shine.

if you develop a game with construct 2 (html 5) can it run (without any additional changes/plug-ins/etc) on mobile devices (iphone, android, etc) that support the right browser...or is there more involved to get the game to run on mobile devices? sorry if this sounds "too basic" of a question; i made the transition from game maker windows to construct 2 so i don't know all the features, pros/cons of this development tool. i'm still learning about this html 5. appreciate any help.

has anyone seen games similar to TDoid Bounce (in the arcade, under action games)? my question is this: how do they make the sprite (like main character) have that shinny/metallic/glossy look? is there a specific sprite design software or photoshop filter?
