Wow, I'm speechless! Thank you!!!

And what a great timing, my C3 license expires next week :)

I didn't really expect to win, because there were lots of strong entries. I particularly enjoyed playing A Night's Slide, At The Same Time and Bullet Jump. They are addictive, clever and fun. It's great that these games are getting prizes too.

Again, a big thank you for organizing this jam!

I'm not sure I follow. You need to change "Set angle" to "No" in 8Direction, and use Player.8direction.MovingAngle expression to determine which animation frame to select.

So you need custom palette in the Sprite Editor? You can submit a feature request here:

construct3.ideas.aha.io
It's probably easier to use some other image editor that has this feature, and then import sprites to Construct.

If you want to change colors in runtime, you have to do this with effects. For a single color you can use "Replace color" effect. For multiple colors you need a custom effect, like this one for C2, I don't know if any similar effects exist for C3.

This is a very popular question here, try googling "random not overlapping site:construct.net"

Here is the easiest way to do this:

Replacing magic numbers in the code with constant variables is an improvement, but you are still hard-coding UIDs, which is bad.

It's better to use another instance variable like id or button_type.

The result will be the same. You can also simply set scroll X to player.X

Set layout scroll is often used when you want to do smooth scrolling, lepring, for example: set scroll x to lerp(scrollx, player.x, dt*4)

Now you are adding 0 (zero) to the ammo, why?!

see this example, you can open it in Conctruct 3:

Why do you have param(8)?? It should be param(0) for the first parameter, param(1) for second parameter etc. 0 is the index of the parameter, not the number of bullets.

Also, I have no idea what's happening when you fire a bullet, this isn't in your screenshot. In theory you should check if ammo>0 and subtract 1 from ammo.

Dropbox is free if you don't need much space. Google drive should also work.
