If anyone would like to help me I would be very thankful. Here is my game so far.

http://gamesalad.com/game/12902

If someone could help me with two issues I have.

1- Why the game starts to lag (the movement of the car and road isn't fluid) I know it's probably the frame rate dropping due to the spawning/destroying of the actors but I have no idea how to create the same effect without spawning actors like that. I mean I have tried recycling actors and it still seems to look glitchy.

2- If you keep the game running for some time eventually you will notice that 3 cars spawn in a row and make it impossible to fit through, ruining the game. Does anyone know how to create a rule to at least make it possible to always fit trough?

I know it's a lot to ask but if someone could download the game and check it out to see what I'm doign wrong it would be much appreciated.

    I didn't really see much issue with it I mean the car just goes through everything and the touch didnt always move the car in the direction I wanted. but without instruction I may be doing it wrong.

    You can only move the car up and down by clicking moving the direction you want and releasing. I removed the destruction of the white car just so that you can see and example of my second issue.

    So is there no slowdown at all when you play the game? If so it could just mean that my iMac is just slow.

    when gamesalad runs more then about 10 15 minutes depending on how your computers set up gamesalad will slow down a ton till it eventually crashes. While its slowing down everything becomes unsmooth and jiiter and rules will start to not work

    maybe thats what you weer experiencing,

    I though that but it happens on the safari web version too. Do you see that the movement of the actors isn't smooth too John?

    You need to test on device with viewer and then adhoc builds web will play different then preview, and viewer, viewer will play different than and adhoc. adhoc will play different on different gen devices. theres alot of variables that will affect how it plays. so best to test every way possible.
