Maze Game Builder (Game Maker)

With Maze Game Builder you can build a maze game where the object
of the game is to escape the maze.
It is fun to make your own game, which you can even publish and
make money from.
- Sprites lets you create 16x16 pixel sprites with up to 64 colours
- Animations lets you create animations of up to 16 frames each
- Player and Enemies settings lets you assign animations to actions
- Levels lets you create levels by adding walls to 12x12 mazes
- Play the game to test it out at any stage during your creation
- Export the game to Java code which can be used to build an APK
which can be published on the Google Play store
Start out by mixing your paints to create the 64 colours that you want to
use to create your sprite graphics, then build your sprites pixel by pixel.
The large grid squares make it easy to create pixel perfect animations,
without needing to tap precisely.
The copy sprite feature makes it very easy to then convert that sprite
into an animation.
Once you have a set of sprites, convert them into an animations,
animating at whatever speed you want the frames to appear.
Each animation is then mapped to a player or enemy action, so the
game knows what animation to show when the player is moving up,
down, left, right or dying.
Create any number of levels you like by tapping to add and remove
walls. Add any number of enemies of different kinds to each level.
Control the starting position and direction of each enemy to fine tune
your level. Then add an exit to the level by removing at least one
of the surrounding walls.
The game can be saved and reloaded so you can pick up wherever
you left off. Great for filling in time on the train or bus!
Note this is just the beginning. If people like Maze Game Builder,
I am keen to develop it much further. I'd like to hear your ideas!
My thoughts on the next major release:
- Sample game built in to experiment with before starting from scratch
- Create weapons and shoot enemies
- Create enemies that can shoot
- More control over enemies like set path of movement, speed, AI
- Share games with other players, rate others' games, chat and comment
- Style of maze game to chose from like Pac-Man, Wizard of Wor,
Digger, Boulderdash etc to create different objectives
- Scrolling maze levels so it can be more than 12x12 squares
- Powers which the player can earn to allow them to
teleport, dash, move walls, have invincibility, shields, freeze enemies etc
- Build your own title screen, game icon, and screen shots for Google Play
- Create bosses which are bigger sprites
- Buy and sell game components like sprites to other players
- Unlock features by playing other people's games
- Better tap support so you can turn by swiping, queue up multiple turns
to make it easier to make quick turns in succession
- Perfect level edit screen so you can see enemies on the scaled down
version and enemies at full size on the edit version, scroll around by
swiping, select level option to quickly select
- Perfect UI experience
- Do it all over in 3D
