Hi everyone,
I just found this topic now, it's very interesting to see how well our game engine performs among other tools
That being said, Itch.io keeps a nice list of all used game engines:
GameMaker ranks third with 9,000+ games (!!), after Unity (of course) and Construct.
A similar research was performed on Steam, but nothing really cool was found there
Is it possible to get an overview of which game engines are the most popular? We have made an attempt to understand the current state of the game engine market.

Wikipedia also keeps a list of "well-known" GameMaker games
en.wikipedia.org
Some nice researches on Reddit for anyone interested:

By the way, on other platforms than Steam great games have been made with GM too.
It's probably a bit harder to check popular games on Android/iOS, because developers don't have to give the game engine there...
