Great app, but crashing is rather common unfortunately. I updated the game yesterday, and so far it hasn't crashed yet but it's only been 1 day. The update created a lot of bugs... First of all, I don't really like the new background color for sprites/looks. And whenever you try to zoom in when in the sprite editor thingy it will think that you're painting/drawing and marks will show up. It is also very hard to add bricks now as it automatically scrolls when you're trying to drop them.

This engine is so good but it has more potential! I like the extensions, but I feel like adding an offline variable extension would be good. It would look like this: Every script with an offline variable block will work while you're offline Example: you wanna make a virtual pet game and need the variables to work while you're not playing the game. That would be useful! Another extension that would be cool is a Notifications extension, it would look like this: The game will send you notifications

There is no mobile version of Scratch, but this is close to being one. I really loved it! EDIT: Might need to add some "tap and hold" bricks. Platformers are nigh impossible to make without them, as well as color and object collisions. EDIT 2: Scratch is now available on mobile devices, but it's tablet-only at the moment. EDIT 3: Fixed some errors and reworded some sentences. Also, most of the features I mentioned were added in and then some. Cool beans!

Dear Jonathan, Thanks! Yes, we also would like to have these features, the sooner the better :-P and are actually already working on all of them. Some of them might even be in one of the next releases as they are ready and only need to be integrated, such as physics style collisions. Kind Regards, Wolfgang
