For those unaware, Game Maker
is a software engine designed to allow users to easily create games
using a simplified interface. It even comes with it's own scripting
language. The handy lite version is free to use, and thus it's a common
platform for pony game development. However, it is not without its
problems. As easy as it is to use, it's limited, and is often dismissed
by more serious developers. The lite version, in particular, makes it
very difficult for one to share their game in a web-friendly format,
meaning that games made in Game Maker often get very little exposure.
Thus, we've created the Game Maker compilation post, designed to
showcase what's been made in this little engine. As this is a
compilation-style post, this is not a showcase of the best of the best,
but an exhibit of everything--however, some really neat, challenging
little games slip by under the radar. Today we've got some Pinkie Pie
platforming, pegasus blasting, and even a Tank game lined up after the
break!
Pinkie's Lost Element (The Lost Element,) a game by Zilven Sparkle, is
one of the more impressive Game Maker games I've had the opportunity to
play. Yes, it's a Pinkie Pie platformer, but there's an impressive
number of Pinkie sprites and a variety of power-up mechanics that give
it some pizazz.
After his episode aired, I was optimistic that we'd see more of Tank -
however, he's slipped into relative obscurity. As such, games starring
the turbo tortoise are few and far between. SuperRaccoon has stepped in
to fill the void--use your powers of rock stacking to your best
advantage as you adventure through the canyon.
If you've got thoughts about the new periodical, comment away below! And
of course, if you know of a Game Maker game that you'd like to see up
here, hit up our submission page.

As for the idea of doing these compilation posts? I wouldn't even have been able to play this without your idea, Arctic Lux! Please, keep it up to shine some light on these subjects!

All my others are made with Multimedia Fusion, which I prefer.

If anyone here is interested in helping with some custom sprite work for the shooter up above, please get in touch with me. My email is hjohenson@hotmail.com. I can promise that you will be credited fully for the work, and a link to any other works you have will be placed in the ReadMe of the final game.
