Yeah, we kind of have to ease people into the game before it goes apeshit on them, because it definitely does go apeshit in the later levels. :U
Also, yes, Game Maker 8.1 is what i've used. It has its quirks, but it becomes really good once you get into the structure of it.

But anyways, thanks! I'm glad you like it, because an awful lot of work has gone into it thus far. It's great to know that it hasn't been in vain, although even if others didn't like it, i've still had a lot of fun with it. c:

New game menu is a thing, thanks to Chartle. I just need to buff up the start buttons visually now, which might turn out to be a monumental task. :I

WHAT COULD THIS BE?

you should get this game to be the first greenlit game-maker game because it's fucking exceptional

Wow I just played this for the first time and it's amazing! Great job Shook.

Thanks man, much appreciated! I can't take all credit myself though, Chartle has been an invaluable partner, and the musicians who made the music also deserve mention for being awesome (and for making the music). <3

@boStaff: I actually do intend to sling it into Greenlight when we're done, despite the cost of it. Not so much to make money, given how it'll be free, but because AUDIENCE! :0 (also thanks for your kind words bromate)

Yeah, it really has gotten a long way since red boxes in a black void, hasn't it? Been pretty slow though. :I
Regardless, really glad to hear you like it! With some luck, you might like v0.9 even more, hee hee.

Well, not sure if we'll get all the music ready for v0.9, but definitely for v1.0, otherwise it's not v1.0. :U
