My new 3D game - EggScope Simulator

MegaApuTurkUltra

I just finished a new game yesterday.

EggScope Simulator

I based this off of another game I know. That's why it's called EggScope Simulator.
Check it out: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/25477846/

Instructions

Use turbo mode
The objective is to launch eggs at all scratch cats before they get you!
Use A/D or left/right arrows to look around. Mouse and click to launch an egg.
Try to egg as many scratch cats as possible and beat everyone on the leaderboard!
If you let a scratch cat get to you too many times, it's game over!

Features

It's 3D! It wouldn't be very fun if it weren't.
Tons of animations!
Cloud leaderboard: It shows you the top 6 scores and who got them!
Text renderer for the leaderboard: it's not an ugly list
Backgrounds: A choice of 3 backgrounds to play on!
Adjustable sensitivity!
Egg streaks: Boost your score by getting tons of eggs in a row!
Awesome graphics rendered by me! It's as good as Battlefield 4! Hah I'm kidding.

Screenshots

The menu:

The extremely laggy loading screen:

In game:

Issues
There are a few issues I haven't been able to completely solve yet

Lag spikes/lag during loading: There are so many costumes for animations and text rendering that Scratch generally lags when switching to a costume that hasn't been used in a while. This means, in order to prevent most lag in-game, loading takes a while because the game has to loop through all costumes to get Scratch to load them. Despite all my efforts to preload costumes, the game still encounters some lag spikes, especially during the first few egg launches and at game over. See my topic on this: http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/49090/
Menu lag: Sometimes after a game is finished, the menu starts lagging. I think it's related to the problem above but I'm not sure what to do to fix this other than just restarting the project.
Lack of sounds: I was afraid the lag spikes would make them sound glitchy. I still used some intro music though.
Cloud variable updates: If two people update the highscores list at the exact same time then one of their scores will just disappear. See my topic on this: http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/49055/
Background moving inconsistently with sprites on the edge of the screen: Unfortunately, the background is just a flat sprite and not a cylinder. I don't see a fix for this.

If you guys see anything else that's an issue, or have a fix for one of these, then post here!

I hope you guys like the game!

Great job. I suggest making it so that when you hold down on the mouse button it goes to the scope, but you don't shoot until you let go of the button. Then, make it so that everything in the scope is larger. I like all the text that comes when you shoot. Great way to keep it PG.
