    Hi, is it possible to add an particle emitter to any of the menu screens? There is no option in the left-hand side menu but you can copy and paste an emitter in, however when you run the game no emitter is visible :(

    You can't. You will have to use animated .png images to get the required affects

    You can't BUT you can make a world and use it as the background for your menu and there you can use the particle effect. Being creative you can make it appear to be 100% part of the Menu UI.

    On the Mind Map screen just right click the mouse and select Add New World inbetween your Start and default Main Menu UI. So now a simple Mind Map will be.. Start --> New World (Main Menu) --> Main Menu UI --> World --> World UI --> Game Over.

    If you've already got some buttons set up for example Main Menu, double check where it points. I had to point it to the new world menu otherwise the game would just restart level 1 whenever you tapped it.

    Offtopic side note, the no music bug I had seems to have been resolved using this method too.
