Karusa by Princesseuh
At first I wanted to tell a cool story about a guy (a blue cube) murdering his girlfriend (a pink cube). But then I remembered that I'm not really good in story telling so I made this. The game tell you a little bit about that part. It might even relate to you :)
Karusa is a game about Smith. You might be wondering who is Smith.. Well Smith is a imaginary character I created to make the story progress. He's also the main character of the game!
Smith was at first just gonna watch a play but unfortunately the theater he is going to is.. Known to have problems setting up things and is also known to suffer from various budget cuts (No. This game is not about Nickelodeon)
Controls are pretty simple : Up to Jump, Left to move to the Left, Right to move to the Right. F1 allow you to see some debug information if you're interested in that

Hope you like it. Please keep in mind that I'm not really good at making games, it's been literally ten years since I last used Game Maker so it might be buggy and it's a pretty short game with probably the best scenario I ever created. Also English is not my native language sorry if there's any error in the text!

Good job, keep it up.
My goal with this game wasn't really to say 'Hey I'm bad in storytelling so I made this crappy game' as much as it was 'Hey I originally had a pretty cool idea but couldn't find a way to tell it correctly due to me being inexperienced in storytelling'
Still this is technically my first attempt at making a story-based game. I'm really more a 'make a base then make content' guy haha! All my current games (even the most popular one which is coming to Steam soon) are content-based game. I'll work on making better story for sure though.
Thanks for the feedback!
I looked for a music generator or something like that but couldn't find any that suited my need. Too bad! I agree that it would have added to the ambiance.
Good start though, and nice rain.
