Does anyone know how to make a game similar to Robot Unicorn Attack? It's so much fun, but I have no idea how to make it with Game Maker. Would it be possible to make it with Game Maker? It seems like I might need a different program to do it.

Yes it is possible, but you will need to use GML, and if you are not a adavnced user, you won't be able to make the rounded floor.
But yeah it is possible.

I don't see why not. I'd look up tutorials on platform games, which will give you the basics, including the curved ground, how to jump/double jump, etc... Then you have to add on the forced forward movement, and where you would normally just bump into the wall, kill the character. It's actually just a basic forced running game, except for the things that you "dash" through.

And please don't use the Z and X buttons as a main control, since on German keyboards the Z and Y buttons are interchanged (for whatever stupid reason), which is really annoying while playing.
