Windows I'm making my first game what do you guys think.

I am working on my first game on Game Maker and I want you guys to see what it has turned out to be like. I have not been working with Game Maker for long about 2 weeks now and I wanted to create a game so I can get use to what all the events and all the buttons do on the game. But this is how it turned out. (I am very sorry about the design I am really bad at drawing ;-; )
As you can see in the picture below ;-;

The is the level selection where you use your character to choose which level to go in ( There is no level lock at the moment because like I said I haven't been using this for long)

Built with a fully functioning Restart button but cannot get the pause button to work properly and has plenty of hidden secrets to find for you!

!------! Warning !-----! I did not make that Monster the monster can be found in the store for free, plus the monster does not have any movement because again I am not very good at using Game Maker yet. There is hidden rooms full of goodies for the user to find and use.

I can't view any of the images, so sorry, can't give you any advice.

Hi, for starters well done on getting something playable made - I started learning GM 3-4 years ago and I remember what it was like!

Pros
* The interface is bright and clear
* Using the character to select the level is a clever use of in-game mechanics

Cons
* Yes the art is terrible, but don't worry! It's _always_ better to concentrate on making something FUN before something that looks good.
* It is not clear what the objectives are, think about including pop-up messages, arrows, and plenty of feedback to the player that what they are doing is right/wrong

If I can provide one piece of advice? It's great fun creating your _own_ games with your own ideas BUT you may find it helpful to first try to create a clone of an existing game like asteroids, space invaders, pong, etc - that way you can concentrate on learning GM and not be distracted trying to invent your own mechanics and gameplay - that can come later when you have the knowledge to implement them!

best of luck
