Hi guys, wanted to show you a project I've been working on over the last year. Ship Shapes Shooter is a free PC game I built using Game Maker's simplified language, the GML. I learned GML and created the game all by myself. I made the sounds using DrPetter's SFXR (free easy to use software), the music using LBP2 , the pictures in pixel art using GM's editor, the font with fonstruct and that's pretty much it. It's nothing original, just a basic space shooter, but I'm very proud of it and thought it would be a great place to show it, since it started as the idea "let's rebuild my LBP level into a PC game". Which ended up totally different, so SSS on LBP2 and SSS on PC aren't the same at all. Here's the download link: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/200606-ship-shapes-shooter It's small, no worries. Tell me what you think. It's supposed to be challenging. I've been told that I should make the ship faster. Should I?

Very nice! I didn't expect a lot, because usually Game Maker games are not that good. But this one surprised me! The menu looks extremely nice, I like the code system, the little easter-egg (I'm not gonna spoil that for the readers), and all the powerups. Music and art being self-made is of course a plus, and it's pretty fun to play too. Simple but effective gameplay: survive the onslaught of ships for as long as you can. You get :star::star::star::star::star: and a <3.

Game Maker Standard for PC, 8.1 I think. It's only 40$, quite low for a powerful software. I think GM is underestimated. I'm making another one now and it's way faster since I learnt a lot in the making. Although I need to find the time to fix the score system of this one which is broken.
