You might want to try add a restart button when your killed so you don't have to close and re-open it. There should be a way in game maker to make the background of your sprites transparent so you don't get that white box. Overall good job :)"},{"author_name":"Impmaster","author_uid":"25036","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 1:00pm","epoch":1418043300,"text":"Oh sorry, I forgot to write that R is how to restart.

I'm a little confused by your comment though.

This my game Ahoy! I was planning to submit it under the compo rules, but I had to study for a test, and decided to just submit it today. It's under Jam rules now, so I guess I should've taken advantage of the Jam limitations. :\/\r\n\r\nI know the game doesn't fit well with the theme. Originally, I chose to make the game about an adventure in one screen. I wanted to evoke a feeling of surprise of the depth of the adventure that happened all in one screen. Of course, evoking feelings is hard with game design, and I got stuck on too many little mechanics and glitches.\r\n\r\nAnyways, the game is pretty simple. It's a game where you have to dodge pirates in order to reach the \"Island of Angels\". (which is actually a huge X because I was using programmer art, and never switched to real art because studying for my test took more time than expected) (I hope i did well on my test :O) Use the compass to lead you to the island.\r\n\r\nThe game was made in game maker, and was my first game in game maker, although ive made a few other games in other engines. I think that it's a decent game for a few minutes, but I seem to have a lack of imagination, as most of my games are more or less the same.\r\n\r\n","title":"Ahoy!"}
