I have mentioned the GameSalad creator several times in the past, and have been watching for updates, especially since GameSalad decided to allow iOS publishing for free. The latest update appears to be very significant – don’t bee too thrown off that GameSalad is still noted as “beta”. GameSalad has been used in a large number of games, and is a viable option for those looking to create iOS game applications in a drag and drop environment..
This update adds in Game Center leaderboards, but perhaps even more significantly improves reliability and performance of GameSalad. From what I can tell the frequent slowdowns that appeared in previous versions of GameSalad have disappeared.
You can find more info on the update on the GameSalad forums here:

If you are looking for a point and click game creator, now could be the time to check out GameSalad as it appears to be much improved.
