You would need to be able to practice it on a device but I would try to constrain:

Here's a demo that shows how collisions and attribute decreasing should work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4no7h8xwci75tye/asteroid collision.zip

I have a "dropzone" actor as the precursor to the newly spawned main actor, allowing the player to have some time to decide where to spawn the actor. This thinking comes from the cla

Create a real attribute (or integer if you prefer) called game.timeLeft and set its value to some number of seconds such as 30.

Furthermore, my testing revolves around me colliding only with "asteroidsmall". My collisions are one at a time so the logic that I'm hitting more than one asteroid at a time. I cann

That was the key to my problem. I didn't have the attribute created. The more I use gamesalad, the more I learn! Thanks Jamie

I don't have a lot of experience with the Windows version of GS, but did you set up a new Attribute named Played already? You'd need to do that first.

* Fixed issue with Constrain Attribute behavior when the constrained attribute was also used in the value expression to modify itself.

I am monitoring a Game's attribute. This is a Real attribute (game.FillRate).

In addition to what @CrazyApe wrote, you'll need to use a Load Attribute behavior in one of your actors on the first scene that loads in order to load the value of the key back into the game.Highscore

You would use the max() function that is in the function drop-down list. You can also type it in directly since it's not an attribute name. Max() returns the larger of two values.

You can either use invisible actors and set the drag actor collide with it so it will be only in your limited area. The other way is to set up some integer attribute and set it to be the max value of

Now I just have to figure out how to constrain the actor so that the user can only drag it until a certain point. Any hints?

if touch is pressed, change attribute game.score to game.score-1

Here is a template I quickly made to demonstrate how it works. There Is a home scene and 5 other scenes. In the play actor there is a attribute called WhichScene. When the player presses it, It will b

-when player overlaps or collides with actor with tag "Asteroids" then change attribute game.PlayerHealth to game.PlayerHealth-1. Seems simple enough.

create a new attribute called Highscore as a integer. Then create a rule in a actor or create a new actor. When attribute game.Highscore is > then game.Score Change attribute game.Highscore to

Make a Boolean Attribute called Played (or whatever) starting as False

You are probably using a game.attribute rather than a self.attribute, it does work if set up correctly.
