my first game/demo, ball revamped: Remade!

ehy guys, i made a game with gm6 and its my first one. its a remake of the original Ball Revamped
and im still learning and getting help from friends. its a game based on a ball (-_-) and gravity. its somewhat challenging and its addictive.
What it Includes:
- a ball
- cool backrounds (gewgle)
- blocks and sprites made by my freind and i
- 20 +1 a-mazing levels
- fake warp zones
- guns(not active but i left it for decoration so far)
- and world names.

Cooming Soon:
- active guns.
- new features (fan, bgm,etc)
- gravity changes (golly!)
- enemies i guess?
- 80 more levels(there are 20 rite now)
- and more...

It's going well so far. I would say that the ball is too big and the game is too challenging, but to be frank the game has nothing going for it other than its challenge. This kind of simplicity can definetely work for a game, and it's a good start for game making. As for getting better at game making, just keep coming up with new ideas to put in games, and find a way to put them in a game. Game Maker is very open to self-teaching.

Is it possible to get past the room with the pink paranoia block?

Also, about your music problem, stick to midis if you want a small file.

Good idea at the least. You might want to consider making ball to move it's start position instead of restarting room because, it forces me to re-press arrow keys and which is annoying.

And Zip for those who don't have Winrar

Golem thx and what he said, this kinda answers golem's question. bcz of the stopping arrow keys glitch, right when u respawn, just try and press up and left with great timing. then ull smoothly go up diagonally.

sry for the double post but i need to know how u do that?

Also, when up is pressed, make it set the ball's vspeed by a relative amount so it's more like the one you linked to.

ok the start position thing s not working rite. when i get hit, it dissapears. and the relative, it just amde the up button worse. you have to keep on pressing up to go higher. am i doing something wrong, or is it the game?

EDIT: nvm so far, i fixed the start position thingy so far...

You have to make it so you use the keyboard function, not key press.

nope, it still dont work

It should. You're obviously doing something wrong.

Okay, haveing to restart every five seconds is no fun. Make the ball smaller and the gravity a little less please.

sorry i updated a different version so my friend can check it out. ok i put the original version up.
