What's the absolute easiest game to create in GameSalad? That's also popular?

I mean what is the easiest game you can create without great animation software, knowledge of game development, something simple kids would like? Also, without purchasing a template, how do you create a game like Candy Crush or Farm Heros?

    Not to be rude, but asking us for to inform you how to make an entire game, or rather an entire game mechanic, probably won't get you anywhere. Especially since you had priorly mentioned games that didn't require great animation or knowledge of game development...perhaps rephrasing your statements and questions will attract more replies.

    You should make a game you would play. That will help drive you through the tough times!

    It's sort of like asking, "What is the best book I can write with this pencil?" The pencil isn't going to make you a great author. It's a darn fine tool but it can't do the creative work. Same goes for GameSalad... it's a darn fine tool but you have to come up with the idea. As @jonmulcahy‌ suggested, having passion about a game or idea is a great place to start. But if you want to know about other games people have made with GameSalad, check out the featured games: http://gamesalad.com/featured-games.

    There are many video tutorials including those in my signature below that will get you started on game development with GameSalad. Why not dive in and see what you can make?

    @Socks if it's a book made out of pencils you're fine.

    Yes, exactly a book about pencils, made out of pencils . . . . I think we can close this thread now.

    Working on a clone now. Any way to make this... easier? Turns out a book made of pencils about pencils is harder then I thought.

    If your cloned book made out of pencils about pencils is too hard try something softer....a 2B perhaps...or shall we just draw this to a close?

    I think @Socks‌ has a template for it, but its kinda pricey.

    3. Drag the first actor to the scene and cover the entire scene with the actor
    4. Create your second actor and select a color in the actor's settings
    5. Drag the second actor to the scene and put on top of the first actor
    6. Create a game attribute called Score
    7. Go to the backstage menu
    8. Make a rule with a condition, when touch is pressed
    9. Do a Change attribute behavior and drag it into the rule.

    I'd recommend cloning No Man's Sky. Should be pretty easy in GS, a few hours work max.

    It might not be as straightforward as you think as GameSalad doesn't have the No Man's Sky font.

    No problems. Change the font type, change the main actor, and call it No Woman's Sky.
    You have yourself a bonified clone! Pull up a chair, sip on a cocktail and watch the millions flow.

    Create numerous questions with multiple choice answers. Create a scoring system. Import artwork of tables (you can add the chairs later if you wish). Publish.
