So my computer was going to be erased up so I backed up all my files. The only problem was I did this a month before we actually erased the computer and now a months work is gone. Yep I know, you're thinking how on earth I could you be so stupid? I don't know. Anyway back to my question.
Is there anyway I can reverse download my .app file from my phone or computer to the gamesalad file so I can get my bunny hop file back? Or am I out of luck. I hope this makes sense.
Thanks!

    If you have the .app file on your computer, you can right click on it, choose show package contents and your gameproj file will be there

    @KevinCross Thank You! Except when I do this I get an error saying, "The folder "behaviors" does not exist". And it just shows white in the viewer. Any ideas?
    Thanks again

    did you ever upload your game to do an adhoc test? If so you can download a copy of the last project you uploaded.

    @blue_elephant Ye I had that problem too when I was trying to salvage the templates built into GS creator, not sure there is much you can do about it...unless it's some kind of linking error

    It doesn't help you now but going forward you might want to use DropBox.

    Downloading from the GameSalad site is the best option, but if you can't get it from there for whatever reason then you can sort of salvage the gameproj file in the .app file. You can't play it, and you'll get the behaviours error, but everything is there and visible so you might be able to drag and drop (copy and paste) everything into a new project. I'm looking at one and can see all of the actors, and they're all complete with their code.

    All of the images are in the .app file too in the images folder, but they're all renamed.

    The game I'm looking at doesn't have any tables so not sure whether they'll be salvageable if the game in the .app file has tables.

    It would be a pain but if it's the last resort...
