Yeah, that's really cool. Some of the sounds take me back to my poker days in the casino (hearing all the slots in the background). The ball is still slipping past/through the flipper sometimes even with the CTRL key. Some things are just a pain to get rid of haha. Also, the LED display was showing game over while I still had a ball in play. The red text (game over) didn't show up until after I had actually lost though.

It's a good first step for the editor. Once it gets all polished up it should be awesome. I'm looking forward to new ramps and chutes. Have you considered adding some dynamic lighting effects based on collisions/scores/player actions etc?

You should be able to do that using a sprite image for the menu portion and two shaders, one for each of the distortion effects. I've seen shaders on the forums that can do stuff pretty close to what you want so I would start with a forum search for those and go from there.

Here are a couple threads to help get you started:

What do you have so far in your code Bobbyneal100? Do you have your player attacks and animations in yet? Enemies?

Thank you. Just finished up taking a short holiday break. Today I completed work on one of the 9 towns currently in the game, Tundra Outpost, home of The Frosty Tintinnabulum Trading Post! Next I'll be working on the 5th dungeon. This one is going to be water based and focused on puzzle solving.

Sounds like a cool project. Maybe you'll even learn something new about yourself in the process as well.

That's what I usually do. I use invisible 2x2 tiled backgrounds scaled up though.

Make an invisible sprite at whatever size that you need and pin the player character to it.

Actually it looks as if it should work as is, but you don't have anything changing the scores.

That sounds like some kind of looping issue. It would be interesting to see the code you're using to get 20 FPS vs 55-59 FPS.

Is the shield pinned to the boss? If not then you'll need to make sure the boss1.y+100 part happens every tick.
