I'm currently converting to iPad (relative just got one) but I'm missing a way to easily switch the background at runtime. What would be the Obj C (& Actionscript for online level share) to do this?

That's a good question... There isn't a way at the moment, so I'll file it as an RFE.

I'm currently hitting this bug in flash
http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,2596.0.html

Does it happen in iOS? I can't use mac atm to test.

Not totally sure. I could look later tonight.

Some name ideas:

KaBallon
Cannon Bang
Pop Em

KaBalloon is a possibility (do cheesy names attract more attention? )

I updated the game with a main menu and iPad support. The level editor and level share WILL NOT WORK on iPad yet and probably won't work on iOS (on this site) because adobe sucks.

iPhone:

iPad (need powerful computer!):

Both the iPad and iPhone versions should behave exactly the same, except from:

- Clouds and bouncy clouds are not upscaled because of this bug (makes levels unplayable)

- Level Share and Level Editor haven't been converted to iPad yet, they are horribly broken.

Updated Level selector. Now's a good time to show the progress.

I added likes and featured items and blah blah blah anyways I still have to do playlists and user/level search. Also iPad conversion (the levels render in iPad already)

On the iPad, is the game almost the same, presented at 2x? I can't make any guarantees, but I *may* be able to make an auto 2x mode, kinda like a "retina" for iPad with the base resolution at 512x384. But that won't come this week. Just something to keep in mind.

It's presented at 2.133 times or something.

Now with search, user pages and playing all of one user's levels.

Very cool - one exploit is that if I fire the bullet before the level actually loads, I can "beat" it easily.

Oh right, I never thought about that. And thanks.

Is there a way to exit a custom level you're currently playing (without beating it?)

Oh, I haven't done that.

Next up is a report button and a skip/give up button at the bottom right area of the screen.
In offline gameplay tapping the clock will (when i implement it) pause the game.
