Great job for your first game! I pressed Shift in the title screen and it crashed, and in-game it did not show the credits.
It seems a bit punishing if you do not choose the right path on the first turn. I like the humour and the playfulness.
Thanks for your input:) I fixed the error, it was caused by the easter egg I added in the last hour XD, So I cloned the credit room and renamed it and added the player into that room and linked the title screen to that new room, where the original room remains linked to the end of the game(because your player is already in it, doesn't need 2, but the one from the menu bugged out due to having no player in it, so added a player in, simple bug fix:) )
ahh... unfortunately the computer I'm playing on is not allowed to have third party programs "installed". (I'm at work). Game can't run independently? I don't know much about game maker.
It's window's install only I don't have the exports(that cost $100-300 each or $700 for all) Only have professional with window's and tizen export :S I need to get the master collection :S
I can't seem to start the game. It just asks me to open a file.
Also, why does it require a firewall exception?
Sorry, Crome says it's a virus, so I can't play it :(
@cardanai
Click on arrow right to file, and then a button saying something like 'Keep file'. Says it's a virus because it's only been downloaded a few times.
Actually it say's its a virus because its a exe file not registered with mircosoft(Which I've heard cost's a lot of money to register) and the fire wall blocks it for the same reason.
This won't run? It just opens up a folder. Also, why does this need network access?
What system you use? it should work on all 64 bit windows systems with the exception of windows 8. and no network access is needed.
@Sharky
Ah, I'm on Windows 8, but in a couple of weeks or so I have opportunity to check on Windows 7.
Did you check out my game btw? Couldn't finish it though. :/
The game worked <3
That's fun Sharky, I love you
Flamable snowman!
@diventurer It might work on 8 but I doubt it, try it it again I had a corupted file up that I replaced
@stending Glad you enjoyed it man:)
@pcmaster Not flamable, meltable!!!
Alright, managed to play now with fixed version. The game's not that much, but I like the idea that you need to find shortest path as quick as possible to avoid flames. Fun game over screen as well. :P
Well the shortest path doesn't matter too much but a direct path matters, the enemy's AI homes in on the quickest way to your character, They won't head you off, unless your back tracking(even if on a different path)
I just love maze games! Nice work
Glad you enjoyed :)
congrats on your first game. please reconsider not needing an "install wizard" next time :)
Nice work ! it's quite fun to go through the maze being chased by fire,
i just had a few technical issues, the arrow keys seemed to stop responding at random some times, and the game over screen seems to make the game crash for some reason :(
otherwise its a good game, the music is good too ^^
Great game. Really cool graphics. Well-done music. Runs a bit slow, but still playable and fun. Keep it up!
Great game! Very nice! :D
@nuno I'm not sure that's posible other than embeding HMTL5 which I do not have the module for ATM, and then you'd have a loading screen.
@nokusu Thanks:) No clue whats wrong with the arrow's. I have a feeling I know whats wrong with the game over that causes it to crash. I think its a set of codes I need but not in that room and I deleted it from the game over room but the game maker itself has a glitch there to where even though I deleted it out of there its still there(That code makes you go to the next room, which there is no more rooms hence crash)
@Tanner Thanks I worked hard on the graphics:) Chibi did the music, and the lagging issue might be your computer? or maybe because of too many particles(the snowflakes that fall down)
@guldlock Thanks very much:) Glad you enjoyed:)
Good work...
@stevekratos Thanks a lot:)
Very solid game, imo! A decent difficulty and much fun to play. The only thing I would change is that there is no "safe zone" at the start of the second level.
Note: Thanks for the info on our game! I completely disabled FSAA for the Windows version now, so it should run now. If you don't mind, please give it another try: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=28802
If it still does not work, could you leave me a link to a screenshot of the error in my comments? Thanks in advance! :)
@NPException Thank's, Honestly I had no idea that it'd turn out half as good as it did. My goal honestly was just "completing a game, no matter how crappy it was" Very happy that it didn't end up being crappy.
I sent you a screen shot
I want to play it but it requires administrator privileges, which is simply never going to happen. I've played a number of games made with Game Maker before, perhaps there is way to export your game as a self-contained executable instead of an installer? I thought that this was available in the free version.
@Dietrich Epp it only requires those privileges to confirm your willing to take the risk on being a virus, but if your read up^ it clearly isn't
Hi! Would you mind trying Banana TV again? I removed the use of Canvases (which are mentioned in the error you got) and hope that it should work for you now:

@NPException
Got it working now:)
Nice job working in the snowman theme.
@rjhelms I did double theme XD
Really good for a first game/LD submission. The art was consistent and the palette was very cute and Christmasy.
It was quite difficult moving around corners and avoiding the flames. They moved faster than I could control my snowman, and I found myself melting very quickly, and getting Game Over screens, which then crashed with a Fatal Error bug. :( So that was unfortunate.
@Taunia The advanced strategy of holding 2 arrow keys at once makes it more manageable on pixel perfect collisions on this game.
Game maker fixed the bug I that was causing that, and had to reexport it it and no error now.
Nice little game! :) also check my project mate x)
@Domicuc Thanks I will :)
Cool game. I liked the song, and that you went with both themes. The accelerated maze concept it cool, but more levels would be nice :)
@lase Thanks a lot :) Yeah was going to do more level's but time was too short because the lv's seen like they be easy to make till you realized that there's 40+ wall tiles at all are dependant on placement based on the direction they are facing, and creating a good maze at the same time(Hence why those 2 maze lvs are sort of punishing)
I love the music! Game is fun, I'm very enjoy of it. more levels please! :D
@remicy Glad you enjoyed it. I'm debating continued development of this game or moving onto another at the moment so please show your support on our facebook page, and youtube channel if you want to see more:) if demand is high enough we'll continue development, if not we'll make another game that will hopefully exceed your expectations:)
Nice, the music was quite lovely
@Floating Thanks even though I didn't do it myself Chibinoize did.
Huh! Lol! My snowman was milted finally xD
It's snowtacular!
@01rafael Lol poor snowman :p
@HotBoxGames No it's SnowMazing. quit renameing my game XD
Shame about how lots of people are having problems, maybe address this before the deadline next time
@aranscope What problems?
Holy crap this game does not mess around. Those fireballs were fast! Nice job!
@Teamquadratic Yeah I wanted a decent difficultly curve, but once your experienced at it you can go through flawlessly through both maze's. The maze's themself's were rushed on the design's and they suffer for that:(
nice work
@Maxmetallica Thanks:) Rather happy about the rankings for my first game :)
