Would this be possible to make?

Hi everybody:)
I have thought a little bit of a game I would love to make for the iPad, but I´m not sure if it would work unfortunately with gamesalad.
Here below is the game

I have thought a little bit and thought, mabybe with many small actors(with the ground) it would be possible but what do you think? The rest would be no problem for me. Shop, movement and so on

    Yes, most definitely possible. GS may look simple and limited at first, but dig in and you'll find a pretty robust platform.

    It is theoretically possible, I believe, but using so many actors in one scene would surely cause extreme lag, or crashing. So, in practice, I do not think this is yet achievable using Gamesalad's current features.

    @Zenith_Gameworks
    That´s what I thought of. But have anyone tried to make something with so many actors?

    So many actors? I see two tanks, one bullet (maybe two), some clouds... GameSalad is more than capable of handling that.

    Edit: or did you mean the actors that make up the hills? Since they wouldn't be moving or constrained to anything, they shouldn't be a problem.

    Sure. It's kind of a pain but it's possible to do.

    It wold be a sweet game, but yep it would be a pain plus you would really want to polish it up a lot more to make it a great game!!!

    Good luck!!!

    Looking at the game for a couple of minutes, it looks like he took a lot of time on it. I'd assume that it'd go the same for you. A lot of work, and it could have all those features and be quite possible.
