Projects section is for any platform, so this is all good :). I remember seeing some early gfx for this game and they looked great. This looks even better!

You can tell its gamemaker, but eh, its pretty awesome :).

Wow, looks cool (I won't get a chance to play it until tonight). :(

If it's written in Game Maker, does that really matter?

What is Game Maker? An RPG Maker type program, only not for RPGs? Either way, it looks really nice!

I suck horribly at this game. ;)

I love the art and music style in use here. Even if it is rather... splattery. :D

Not sure if you're on the hunt for bugs, but pressing A at the title screen pops up an error message.

I know about the error and I will get it fixed (possibly by just having it catch and then ingore it since it doesn't actualy mess anything up) And there are a wide variety of mechanical enemies trying to kill you.

Game maker is a porgram that can actualy make all kinds of stuff, and it features both a drag and drop system (which was how the forst version was made) and a more powerful/complex actual laungage (which the game is mostly now)

um...so has anyone actual beaten the game? I haven't heard a single person say they have and if so, besides the fact that apperently a lot of people aren't the best at old school style shooters, I need to make an easy mode or something...

hmm, let's see. The next Friday, october 23 is in 2009. So, I get the feeling that someone will have beaten it by then. :mrgreen:


You know, I've tried quite a few times to download that file, but each time I click on the final free download link, it gives me a blank page, and doesn't download anything. I've tried both firefox and IE, but neither works. I would have been playing this for some time now if the download worked. Would it be possible for you to host it somewhere else?
