  Try reporting it to Ludei, maybe some feature is used which they don't support?

  ...and for iOS, r100 improves the support a fair bit, so it would be worth trying again when it's out.

  IIDs and UIDs in the editor don't change depending on the Z order, but they do change if you delete and insert instances. Because of this you should not rely on knowing UIDs or IIDs in advance at all - the instance with UID 3, for example, could change to a different object if you add or delete some things in the layout view. This could easily break your game or make it work differently "randomly" (it will seem random to many users because they won't realise certain things they did changed the UIDs and IIDs). For this reason I don't think UIDs or IIDs should ever be displayed in the editor, in order to discourage this bad practice.

  This is already on our todo list, hopefully we'll get to it soon!

  maxp010 - I don't understand what you are asking... you would use the Touch object to do that!

  Some third party plugins don't work in CocoonJS. Does it work if you remove all third party plugins?

  r100 should improve directCanvas support a lot and we have more updates in the pipeline - hopefully it will keep getting better as time goes by.

  sirLobito - that's right, for retro games design for the smallest resolution then upscale it. For more modern looking games with high resolution graphics you'd probably want to do it the other way round, designing for the highest resolution and scaling down.

  Note the highest resolution in common use is a little bigger than 1920x1080 - the iPad 3 has a resolution of 2048x1536.

  I think WebGL support is coming to Chrome for Android in the near future. It might even be released by the time OUYA is.

  We have some plans to improve the functional and reusability aspects of events. However these are long-term plans - we probably won't be adding anything in the near future, but we do have some interesting plans for things like custom ACEs and event-coded plugins.

  There should be nothing in the engine that could degrade performance over time, unless you are doing something like continually creating objects and not destroying them. That's then a problem with your events rather than any issue with the Construct 2 runtime.

  Try putting a text object on-screen with the object count and keep an eye on it - make sure it's not increasing constantly throughout the game.

  The OUYA runs Android, right? So presumably CocoonJS will work on it, and directCanvas for Android when it comes.

  If you're exporting inline to the page, you could just add a Facebook 'Like' button on the rest of the HTML page.

  Sampling can't be 'On', it has to be either 'Point' or 'Linear', does selecting a different option help?

  Sizing down can degrade quality. For retro style games you should design it at 1:1 scale and upscale, not downscale, in order to preserve visual quality.
