Please tell me if you experience any major issues with the game within the first 10 or so levels. The rest I know are failures.
For testing purposes atm you press Q and E to switch rooms, E is next room / Q is previous room
If you run into an error, you should be able to ignore it and the game will go on.
There are roughly 10-12 levels that are just test levels.
Most levels contain about one enemy each so I could test them out (not all enemies have their own room yet)
But at least now there is a demo that can be play tested again.
Also you can press F4 to view the achievements, this button will likely change in the release.
Current issues I'm aware of:
The player sprite isn't correctly drawing at all times, sometimes two sprites are being drawn when only one should.
Dying to Anti-Atom will crash the game because the player does not exist so his arm has nothing to point at, therefor it crashes. Easily fixable.
EarthWyrm collision is a little ****ed up, they aren't colliding properly with solids at the moment.
When lava touches a tree the entire game slows down because of all the fire being created, because fire touching a tree also creates fire; so it's creating things it collides with whoops.

This was the first game maker project I ever made.
Recently I decided to re-write my project from scratch after nearly two years since I starting playing with Game Maker.
The intent of this game was to create a hectic platform shooter;
Where destroying terrain was both a strategy, defense, and general way of getting around the levels.
Destructive terrain acts as a good puzzle system in terms of using the terrain to your advantage.
The whole game aims to be a Random juxtaposition
Destruction = Creation
Most graphics I'd consider still pretty "placeholder" not sure if I will be making the terrain have textured tiles, or just keep it silhouetted like it is.
The player controls a corrosive gun, capable of destroying most anything it touches.
He also has grenades which he can throw at a controlled velocity. (this replaced the old missile)
Creatures included so far:
Chain chompah (attached to starting position)
Moving turret (horizontal movement)
Static hidden turret (pop-up and shoot)
Missile turret (homing missile towards player)
Floating swarm (fly around the player/avoid water)
Drill Pig (breaks through bricks)
Colt(mountable - walks across danger tiles)
Vermes (random spawn - breaks through small bricks)
Foawr (fall brick - elevator)
Phish
Slug (explodes and releases gas)
Monopods (jump around and hop over small gaps)
Regen Wall (regenerates walls around it's self)
Enemies planned:
Laser beam enemy (shoot small laser)
Grenade throwing enemy (throw grenade towards player)
Wall and Ceiling climber (obvious climbs around) aka Phlegm
Platform jumper
