For the mobile devices, Game Editor uses 16 bits (65536 colors), due the device display limitations.

Thank you very much for the help, greatly appreciated everyone. Another thing, not regarding this subject but is it possible to make a Save/Load game option in the editor?

There is already a load game feature, and if you combine that with your save/load var functions, then you can do what you want. As is stands, you can't do it all in one function, that is unless you make your own custom one. It is totally possible, but not built in. The fact that you can do it makes it less of a priority for update, but if you want help with building said function, I can help.

Skydereign, that is very fine of you, thank you very much... I would be grateful to recieve your help, however, I´m just at the first stage planning my game. But thank you that you are willing to help me out, I really appreciate that. Perhaps I may speak to you sometime in the future about this when I´m ready?

I´ve always wanted to make a 2d game, you don´t know how much I appreciate your will to help.

Thank you again,
Best and warmest regards,
Joel

Is there anyway to limit the amount of colors shown? (instead of doing it manually.. image by image)
I'm thinking of going to 256 colors for my game.

No, but why you need to reduce the colors?

The engine will convert any image to 16bit per pixel for mobile games.
Also, it uses a internal compressor, so, the result will be the same regardless the original image type.
