Game maker is another platform in which i use to make 2D games that vary on different levels, while Game Maker is a 2D program, it is generally harder to use compared to Atmosphir as this requires some form of basic knowledge of coding.
Below are some of my Game Maker works
Zodiac Herder
Download Link - Mediafire
Generally this was created in lieu to both an exam assignment and to commemorate Chinese New Year. Basically we were tasked to create a game using Zodiac Animals in which we decided to use the Chinese Zodiac instead of the Western Zodiac.
The story of the game goes that a massive earthquake rocked the land one day and sent all the animals scattered in different directions, God was displeased with this and ordered you, his trusted soldier to use your god hand to herd the animals back into their respective pens.
Each animal correctly herded gives points whereas herding them into the wrong pen gives a deduction in points. The game generally is finished and playable but newer versions are to be released in time as the game is rather short currently.
We used special SFX's and BGM to give a nice polish and "zen" feel to the game which allows the player to feel a sense of zen-ness (if that is even a word)
