Do Blitz3D support PNG Alpha Channel? If so, what is the command(s)? Can't find anything about it in manual.

It automatically loads the alpha channel. Make sure your file has an alpha channel. Only works with textures and models.

It will not work on normal images? The game I'm coding is 2D.

Hello. Nope. The only option is to go 2d through 3d, that way you have access to lots of wonderful effects - rotation, scaling, alpha, etc. There are a number of libraries available, just do a search. Goodbye.
