First Game Maker Game

        I normally develop with Unity. But I decided to take a break from my main project (which you will see soon) and give Game Maker a shot. To be honest I planned on uninstalling it in ten minutes or so. But I was actually very surprised by the quality of the program. After skimming through the tutorial, I was able to create this:


        The player is a circle, but this was a test of Game Maker. Walk from room to room and gain score by finding treasure chests. Touch an Evil Blob and you'll have to restart. Each room spawns three entities. Each entity has a 2/3 chance of becoming a blob and a 1/3 chance of becoming a treasure chest.
        This is a very sloppy excuse for a game and I'm sure I created it in the absolute clumsiest way possible, but it's not half bad for an hours work in a brand new engine.

If you want to give it a try, here it is: http://adf.ly/LU0pr
(Please note that this is my first time attempting to distribute a Game Maker game, hopefully I did it correctly.)

More to come in the future, let me know what you think.
