Reaching the Max Capacity of GameSalad

Ok, so my question is where is the max capacity on GameSalad? How many scenes and actors can you have before GameSalad starts to fall apart? Same with images and sound/music files. The reason I want to know is because I just played a game called Cave Story. I just beat it 5 minutes ago and I really want to make a game that was as exciting and involving as Cave Story. Anybody have any idea how much I could do in one app? :/

    I have over 100 scenes in one of my games, I think I read before someone had over 2-300 a while ago.

    I've had hundreds of actors in another game as well.

    In my experience its the number of rules in a single actor (and i have an actor with over a hundred rules in it) and number of actors with physics that really matter.

    I would agree with that. It's easy to slow a game down with just a single actor with inefficient or faulty rules. But if you set things up in an efficient manner, it shouldn't really matter how many actors or scenes you have.

    Blood Flow has unlimited levels and runs fine so like the others say it depends how you use the actors.

    @Utveckla_Games All as the other guys said; bear in mind though there's a maximum of 2gb file size for the Apple Store (don't know about other platforms). (50mb limit for over-the air-downloads for info).
