I'm not doing any surface work, so all I can say is check your drivers\/DirectX...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Jishenaz: Yeah, I forgot to mention the movement glitch. You should be able to die though! D: If anything, I may have forgotten to make the jellyfish deadly. Healthbar is the green bar in the top right.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@gikdew: Thanks! It was fun to make, though there were a lot of head-scratching moments!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@BradleySmith: Thank you! I tried to make the art okay, I'm just really bad with it. XD I'm a musician at heart, but I'm glad you enjoyed my lines and colors! :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Feysoura: Thank you very much! And of course! I added a source link. It's in GameMaker Studio Standard, coded completely from scratch with no base code whatsoever.
