This game feels like a zelda dungeon without enemies. This makes me wonder what is the point of the sword?

This is verion 1.0.2
Controls: WASD or Arrow keys to move, that's it! (When you get the sword you can now use space to attack!)
You can create your own dungeon! No save and load functions yet, but in the download version there is a level code that you can find in the local appdata and share online. Don't know if I'm able to make a proper save and load feature in the future.

I'm working on a update right now, the sword was only ment to destroy crates, but the game didn't really force you to learn that because you could skip the first crate, and many people wanted to kill the enemies (There is enemies later in the sample stage), I didn't actually want that at first, but I guess that people always want a opportunity to kill. I'm doing my best to make the game better, so stay tuned for updates!
Cool idea, but it needs work. Enemies next time! Spawn some enemy sprites and just have them move around randomly and bounce off walls. Then our dude can maybe bonk or shoot them.
Nice game, definitely has some room for improvement. I want to ask when did you start working with game maker, and how long it took you to make this game. I'm just starting with game maker and I wonder when is the right time to start making my own games.
Jonnil responds:
I started with Game Maker when I was 9 actually, but I didn't really start seriously and complete small games until now. This game took me some months but I was mostly lazy and did one or two things per day, compared to my other game Love is on the bus which took 3 days and impressed a lot of people, but I would like to make updates to the game if I get feedback.
And for when to start making games, the right time is now. Watch tutorial videos on YouTube (watch Shaun Spalding he's awesome) then start really small, I think Vast Dungeon is considered a medium game because of the level editor, it took knowledge to do. Making games should never be too late.
this is good game
For something this simple I really enjoyed it.
