UPSLAND Jr

This is a game I created with a program called GameMaker 8.1. The object of the game is to click on the boxes, hotdogs (safety dogs), gold coins, and Mystery Box. These items earn the player points. Avoid the poison sign (hazmat) and the anti-money sign. These take away points. And avoid clicking on the dark polo shirt, as this ends the game (you're fired!).

The GameMaker software was easy for me to use. No programming knowledge needed! It was easy to understand, yet still customizable. All of the game graphics were put into the game by me. I fully customized the sound that each piece makes (Homer's "D'oh" is played when you click on the poison sign; the hotdog sounds like the power-up mushroom from Mario Bros). It's a simple game (try to click on the pieces as they fly around) but I liked it. I think the software shows promise.

It might be what I need to create UPSLAND.
