  Closing as by design. 'Destroy' does not take immediate effect. This is so that beginner-style events which do things like "Destroy A; create explosion at A.X, A.Y" still work as intended. Objects marked as to be destroyed with the Destroy action are cleaned up either at the end of the tick or at the next top-level event.

  "Every" under a loop makes no sense. Loops run instantly without waiting. You probably want to put the loop under the "every" event instead, which means it will run the (complete) loop that often.

  You should use the Javascript SDK for anything beyond simple one-liners. You can also execute javascript in the ExecJS expression and have the result returned.

  The Chrome web view in 4.4 is still very slow due to some bugs - we've tried it. Crosswalk is the Chrome-powered web view you are looking for, and it is backed by Intel.

  Just disable all three groups for all forms of input.

  When I posted earlier that it had worked, it was on Windows 8.1. So I don't think it's that.

  300mb is still an extraordinary amount of memory for a 2D game to use, and the problem is likely that you're hitting some kind of limit - especially if that's the compressed file size, rather than the in-memory size. See Remember not to waste your memory.

  Yeah, as it is it's not a bug because positive animation speeds mean to play forwards, so you're always forcing it to play forwards. However I did notice there isn't any way to tell if the animation is playing backwards, since the AnimationSpeed expression is still positive even when it's playing backwards. This is inconsistent with the action so is fixed for the next build (AnimationSpeed can be negative). With that fix, you can work around it by setting a positive speed if the current animation speed is also positive, otherwise a negative speed.

  Can't reproduce on a Nokia Lumia 820, runs just fine. By the way the example is modified: it has changes to support different kinds of bullet.

  Can you link to the game you've uploaded and report any errors you get in the browser error console when it doesn't work? This is likely because you uploaded your game wrong rather than a bug in Construct 2.

  Just tried it here and it worked fine in node-webkit preview. Node-webkit is based on Chrome so it would make sense that they work the same.

  Just tried it and C2 exports a manifest.json file just fine here. It should always generate a manifest when you choose the Chrome Web Store option.

  Just a heads up that performance will likely be really bad if you make your own wrapper.

  Construct 2 should add these files if they are missing. If you press OK and save-as .capx, does that fix it?
