Hello everybody!
Today I came across this video when I looking for GS tutorials in Youtube.

It's amazing, I never know that Gamesalad have 3D functions.
Maybe it not real 3D, but that is very novelty to me.
Could anyone tell me, how did they do that?
I'm so curious 
Thank you.

Game Salad doesn't have 3D functionality like other game engines (like Unity) but you can do it with some cool things with the graphics. For example, if you want to make it look like something is fading down a tunnel, you can make it shrink and slowly move toward the center of the screen. The youtube video you posted is probably just about the robots graphic, in particular the shadow. Look for pseudo 3d game art like the robot and try moving it around like you would any other 2d game and just make sure it has the proper animations
As @elementappdev says, GS does not have any built in 3D abilities. The robot sample you show is pre-rendered 3D sprites that end up being just another 2D element in GS. This was very common in games before 3D engines became popular.
Some samples:

That is really cool.I got it!
Thank you for your answer.
And may I ask you another question?
Could you tell me this video how does he do it?
Why does his wall as the distance increases and decreases.
I made the 1st link demo and anyone that fakes 3D with GS obviously can't use a proper 3D engine like unity
My advice forget about 3D with GS and use it for what it was designed for 2D.
@mme5566123twww, I'm afraid I don't know how Stormy created that. But it's certainly faked 3D and not true 3D since Gamesalad is a 2D engine.
@socks Has some pretty amazing faked 3d stuff too. Usually something like these examples involves a bit of math and a lot of pre-rendered 3d assets.
@mme5566123twww I made this tutorial, have you seen it?
