Stalwart Umbrella Chronicles by Anthelion
Undertake tasks of arcane importance while defending yourself from marauding Kobolds with a tasteful umbrella!
Finally finished. The homebrew thing didn't pan out, went with regular Game Maker instead. It's no masterpiece, but I'd like to point out that I was handicapped by a lack of experience, caffeine, and alcohol.
This is just a simple platformer, with randomly-generated terrain. You block arrows using your umbrella as a shield. A couple of hidden goodies, but nothing too deep.
Used Game Maker 7, sfxr, GraphicsGale. Game uses registries.

Just feels like it needs something extra. An umbrella glide, maybe?
Congrats on submitting!
I love the background story. Plays quite nice and has a neat menu system built around. Sometimes arrows seem to come from the sky with no chance for me to react. The increasingly nasty arrow attacks are well done.
Really nice. I would've loved a bigger display window though.
Got stuck on level 4 - just too much to dodge / block! Also thought of the glide mechanic, which I saw in someone else's game (what's with the umbrellas?).
