You'll need to use either the Experimental Greenworks Plug-In or the Steam4C2 Plug-in in order to get Achievements to activate.

Urban top down shooter.

I want a non generic name please.

So, you want a non-generic name but have not expanded on the description beyond adding "Urban" to "Top down shooter"

You're bound to only get generic names unless you give more details about the game - who are you fighting? who is your character? what is the story?

Help us help you.

For creating the Ice, give the Player sprite an image point where you want the Ice sprite to be created and then whenever the command to spawn the ice is given, use the Spawn another object action

Keyboard: On Space pressed -> Player: Spawn Ice on layer Player.LayerNumber (image point 1)

For destroying the Ice after 10 seconds, here are a couple of alternative to what SoldjahBoy suggested:

Option 1: Timer

Give the Ice sprite the Timer behavior and destroy it when the Timer finishes

Ice: On Created -> Ice: Start Timer "Melt" for 10.0 (Once)

Ice: On Timer "Melt" -> Ice: Destroy

Option 2: Fade

Give the Ice sprite the Fade behavior, with the following settings:

Active at Start = Yes

Fade in time = 0

Wait time = 9

Fade out time = 1

Destroy = After fade out

I don't think there are any rules against re-submitting and there have been cases where people have done that, but usually after a bit of re-development or improvement based on the feedback they got, since re-submitting without change isn't likely to get you any more votes or closer to being greenlit.

An alternative would be to post in the Concepts section, which is specifically for games in early stages with WIP content, and allows you to get feedback on what you need to improve to get votes/make the game great.

Guess you can't be serious in this community.

A light-hearted name can be a serious suggestion for a fun game, I guess you meant a serious sounding name.

It would help if we knew more about your game other than "top down shooter"

What's the setting? Medieval Fortress, Old West, Modern Urban, Futuristic Spacecraft?

Who are the enemies? Zombies, Cowboys, Terrorists, Aliens?

Medieval Fortress + Zombies = Fortress of the Damned

Old West + Cowboys = High Noon Showdown

Modern Urban + Terrorists = Critical Mission

Futuristic Spacecraft + Aliens = Xenoblaster

It could be the collision polygons of the animation. You might be trying to drag it on a frame with an oddly shaped collision polygon and it's not detecting the touch properly.

I will probably put it on Greenlight shortly afterwards if there is enough positive feedback. If it does go out on Steam then there will be a level editor mode as well - more on this to follow.

I don't think you'll have to worry about getting enough positive feedback, it looks great even with placeholder graphics, and I can see a multiplayer party game like this being popular on Steam.

It reminds me a little bit of two other C2 games - Shotgun Raiders (greenlit on Steam) and Sombrero (signed with a Publisher).

It will be interesting to see how the level editor work with the procedural generation.

I'm pretty sure there's more than just The Next Penelope on Steam. Shouldn't Insanity's Blade, Airscape: The Fall of Gravity and Cosmochoria be on the list as well? Those last two are actually promoted on the Construct 2 Steam page!

Yes, those games are on Steam but they got there through Steam Greenlight.

Tetriser is only listing non-Greenlight games and provides a link to those on Greenlight. The Next Penelope is the only one (that I know of) that made it on to Steam without going through Greenlight.

If Tetriser listed all the games that were on Greenlight, there would be well over 100 games in the list and a good proportion of those have gone on to be greenlit and released.

I believe you just need to snap the construction object to the grid while dragging by rounding the position to the nearest multiple of the grid square size.

Steam doesn't support it in that it doesn't interact with any of Steam's features, but as long as multiplayer is working with your NW export then your game should work fine when released through Steam.

How about something simple like Rocket Monkey or Rocket Chimp?

I think ours came back within a week, but don't know if that is typical.
