First of all, Congratulations on creating a game! You did it!!!

Now for your feedback.

Your game is not very engaging. The graphics are not aesthetic and the gameplay is not easy to maneuver with. I really don't mean to sound rude, but your game just isn't yelling: "PLAY ME, I'M FUN". It's clear that you put your effort into it but even the tutorial section is a bit off with the words being everywhere. As for the game itself and the goals, it's alright, but I didn't find myself wanting to keep playing.

Thanks guys! I guess making these empty sprite EXTREMELY small sized will make their presence not really matter all that much.

Uh, yeah probably a really stupid question. In general though, do empty sprites even do anything to performance? There just empty, no image is inputted into them.

make the timescale 0 or the object timescale 0.

What I'm trying to reproduce is kind of what Jet Pack Joyride has in place. When an enemy, projectile, or anything harmful is incoming, an alert is shown on the screen in the direction the harmful thing is coming.

In this case, the alerts need are happening anywhere 360 degrees. How do I do this? Of course the alerts are going to appear on the HUD but how do I make them appear in the direction that the enemy is/will appear?

If you STILL haven't decided. Bite the bullet and join C2. Phones are getting stronger and performance is getting better for HTML5. Exporting isn't getting more difficult, but it isn't changing. It can only get better.

Uh, Try "System-Trigger Once"

Uh, maybe Scirra should go back to working with Ludei, performance with XDK hasn't been all that good for me. As for iOS in particular getting bad performance, eh, nothing wrong over here. My game has a 20+ sprites on screen with particles and things have been great all the back to an iPhone 4.

B...bu...but Asheley, DA PERFORMANCE

Will this help?

Have you tried testing your game with CocoonJS?

I specialize in mobile games, so i don't know much sites. But if your game is good enough, you could release it to Armor Games or Steam. I'm pretty sure Kongregate will let you release pretty much any game. You can always post to the Scirra Arcade too.

Since you specialize in mobile games, any tips on how to get a mobile game out there?
