What's Game Maker?
Game Maker is a program that lets you make computer games without having to write any lines of code. It has simple drag-and-drop actions to easily make games with, and I mean complete games with backgrounds, animated graphics, music, and sound effects. But that's not all; once you get better with it, you can use Game Maker's built-in programming language to make your games even more complex and kickass!
There's no way for me to explain all of Game Maker's coolness, so head on over to its official site (www.gamemaker.nl) and just see for yourself :)
Disclaimer
Game Maker can be used free of charge. Yep, you heard right; you pay a grand total of nothing for this. Plus, there are no restrictions on the games you create with it; no nag screens, no disabled features, and you can even sell your games if you want. However, you are recommended to register your copy of Game Maker. It's not really required, but you still should do the creator a kindness if you can; paying for Game Maker means supporting its further development. Plus, it's a nice "thank you" to the creator for making such a great program :)

This is a small simple arcade-style shoot-em-up fan game, based on the video game "Twinkle Star Sprites". Select a stage (only one for now, but hopefully that'll change soon ;) ), shoot down enemies, collect coins, and go for the high score; it can't get any more simple than that! I doubt that it'll captivate you for hours, but it's still a fun game; at the very least, it's a nice little distraction :)
This game is actually hosted elsewhere, namely at the Xeno Fighters EX website. Be sure to check that site out, because Xeno Fighters EX is a fan-made shoot-em-up game just like this one. Also, I'd like to thank the site's owner, Alluro, for hosting my game :)
