We're all friends here
There are loads of cool games made with Game Maker(Or modified versions of it), Nuclear Throne, Hotline Miami, that Catcomb kids game, to mention a few. It's a fairly easy to use, and it's nice for people that just want to make a 2D game.

Also, I've fiddled around with making a game engine(an extremely simple one) from scratch, and honestly, I don't fault anyone for wanting to go around that process and use another alternative.

I like to pick Rebel and throw my health away making friends. I also don't know what crowns are or how to get them.

until the latest update, there was a button with a crown on it in the bottom-right of the menu. I think it's still there?

one time I got a crown from a 'trove' or 'shrine' or something like that but tbh I'm still not sure how i got there or why

I see people give them poo poo for using game maker, but instead of "ewwww game maker" you should be saying "holy poo poo they did this in game maker?"

i got there once by shooting/activating the police statue thing and letting rads get sucked into it. once enough go in it turns into a portal to crown town. at least i think thats what happened

ah that would explain it - I know the time police portal was involved.

tbh I just wonder if there was something else in there - I walked in and didn't explore before getting the crown and then it was over :(

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
I had a run yesterday as YV where I had Brraap, the lightning weapon mutation, and the lightning cannon. I beat the final boss in one brraap shot and felt really powerful. Then as soon as I looped I think i died to a crystal spider

what's with the 'blood' weapons? it seems like they cause big (but not super damaging) explosions that don't hurt me, but maybe that's just because I was playing Robot?

Personally I'd like to see it changed to being able to aim reflected rounds at your cursor. Imo adding some offensiveness to her active would be a good upgrade, rather than just getting you killed from dumb blinks into big dog

If they made the teleport a different button than the shield it would be a lot better and more useful imo. I can't tell you how many times i've accidentally teleported into bad situations when all I wanted to do was a quick shield
