There's some great stuff in here! Love the art, and it's all really bright and silly and funny. Nice SFX and music too. I wasn't able to make anything resembling a "game", but it was fun to play around with all the different assets provided. Clever. I got the spaceship flying around, but I wasn't able to figure out how to control anything else, eg. my little pokemon buddy.

Lovely cute little engine- filled with cool surprises and some cute sprite-work. One gripe I have is that you have to go back to the platform to place it down again- it doesn't matter too much, but it is a wee bit annoying. The integration of the timer and any other adjustable values was very good- and the memes were a nice addition. Some of the sounds though were way too loud and just blasted in your ears, specifically the clicking/picking up sound. Loved it, great ludum game.

The music (and the memes) are great! I had a fun time just messing around with the system, figured out a couple of the icons and what they do. Overall a pretty cool proof of concept, and I could see this being expanded into something like a Mario Maker style game. Really impressive, I just wish there was some documentation haha!

The engine Mario Maker 3 only dreams it could become. Never can't have too much doggos and cattos on the screen. Starting from nothing, with all those memes jumping on the monitor I might have become something of greater value to the internet. Probably.

The most unique take on a theme I've seen so far :) Breaking the 4th wall here :) "Wanna play a game themed "start from nothing"? Then create it first!" Nice work!

nsadie 2019-10-09 18:26

Pretty good! I enjoyed playing around with the various objects and seeing the effects! Quite funny ;)

steffy 2019-10-09 19:01

I like the concept. I can see hours of play in a game like this, especially for kids. I know my kids would. Nicely done.

Wow, very fun game. Love feed blini to cats, while jumping with the wall, then push the tornado and FUN. After last manipulation I got ingame objects flying out of the game screen boundaries under the editor elements.

The only drawback is the annoying sound of picking things from the editor.

nickzangus 2019-10-10 09:55

Very nice idea! I really had fun playing it, good work!

oneki 2019-10-10 09:59

Awesome toy. Hits what it's going for.

iluvatar 2019-10-10 10:16

Haha, this is the cutest, craziest entry I've seen so far. I'm so glad people come up with these ideas so it's something different from all the other games. Good job guys. PS: Extra star for Bork!

oakwarrior 2019-10-10 10:20

@oneki Thank you :D Making it was frustrating, but fun, too. Evoked the old "Desktop Toys" games from back in the day :p

artzibal 2019-10-10 10:25

I love the music and memes. Also the art! Funny game :) Good job!

pedro-rosa 2019-10-10 10:33

The game is really funny XD. I liked a lot to test the different mechanics and assets it was really cool to try to understand how different objects interact with each other. For 5* on humor. The graphics are also cool, I like how everything fits well with the theme. Great work.

oakwarrior 2019-10-10 10:51

tHank you everyone for the kind words ^_^

joeshanahan 2019-10-10 12:04

Thank you for the meme option, much fun was had.

Very fun game ! Sounds and musics are cool ! Good Job ! :D

snesgaard 2019-10-10 17:41

Every game should have a meme option from now on ^^

wojciech-bruski 2019-10-10 17:45

Why we create game in unity or gamemaker if we can make it in "game" :D Realy cool idea. Love it!

taddl 2019-10-10 19:34

Fun idea for a game jam. And you can actually create some little games.

simanis 2019-10-11 13:03

it's fun but.. 5399f8caf0a80d8c9eb95c941e10d3eae4f3242712bdbde58d6deac99babe7ec.jpg

eggshelldog 2019-10-11 16:54

pretty cool game(?) can find a lot of detail there, really work like a little game engine!

linheha 2019-10-12 14:42

Funny game, I didn't know what I was doing but it felt great anyway x) Graphics are really great, and I love the animations that match the rythm of the "memes" saxophone music, it made me laugh and dance on my chair Also I think this music is now stuck in my head forever haha

solah 2019-10-12 20:41

It is hard to understand how to get things working but it is so much fun, and there's the epic sax guy! Good job!

asfdfdfd 2019-10-13 19:01

Going to migrate to this engine from Unity right after you will add Doge.

welliton 2019-10-13 19:02

HAhahaha that game is something! Hahahaha I liked all options to create your own game, and sometimes creating something that is not a game! Maybe a kind of experimental/art gameplay inside GameMaker? I dont know, but you have gold here! Awesome entry!

ninjacatz 2019-10-13 19:18

Pikachu has an inverse sprite and is it possible to create a bongo cat? :joy_cat:

hellper 2019-10-14 17:39

This needs a lot more tornadoes!

daria-toni 2019-10-14 18:34

It's all fun and stuff, but... how did you manage to do it all in such a short time? In your game there're a lot of different pieces and it all look very nice! For some reason the Horde didn't work for me, but I was definitely doing something wrong. Otherwise it's a lot of fun! I wouldn't call it a game... rather, it is an interactive toy. Good job!

oakwarrior 2019-10-15 09:42

@daria-toni well we were 6 people :D and interactive toy was exactly what we were going for ^_^

@ninjacatz you can also create Blin Kot, if you have memes enabled and collide a pancake with a cat :up:

@asfdfdfd feel free :D

Thank you all for the yositivity! ^_^

mateusboga 2019-10-16 12:12

This was a fun little experience xD I appreciate the memes put into this. Very dank job! I'll just say the sfx are a little too loud, unless your intention was earape

sylvie 2019-10-16 22:32

I couldn't figure out how some of the stuff worked but this was cute and fun to mess around with!

jk5000 2019-10-17 09:44

A fun little game/sandbox experience. Well done.
