Game testing fine, uploaded version in GS arcade buggy.

Hi,

I just uploaded my first little game - nothing great, just a try to get used to GS:
http://arcade.gamesalad.com/games/137667

It works fine when testing in GS. The uploaded version is missing sth though. When the game starts, there is a number "0" on the top center of the screen. It goes up one number each time you pass an obstacle. It does count, as you can see after passing 10 obstacles, the second decimal place is shown, as you can see in the screenshot.
Anyway, you cant see the first decimal, whats really annoying, also because its not shown in the leaderboard. As I said, in the tested version it IS shown.

So now, whats the best way to find out, whats happening here?

Thanks in advance,

Hannes

    @hansdrum The HTML5 and Arcade engine is different than the native engines that you see on mobile apps and on gamesalad preview, you will notice lower performance and some limitations. It works on another engine, I really recommend not to test on arcade.The result on preview is closer to the end result on device ( but you still need to test on device). As for arcade/html5 , it is still buggy and acts weird, you will also notice that it takes ages to load sometimes. You can always report any bug you see to the team so they fix it, but unfortunately for now you shouldnt depend on html5 too much or you will be disappointed with the final results.
