My first Game Maker Game: Opposite Day

Lately at school, I've started an elective about Game Making, I was going to make a game I mentioned about a month and a half ago, but then I got a completely new idea! I call it 'Opposite Day'

In the game you play as a villian (not a hero), who's venturing through various worlds to capture a princess (instead of saving one)

I started this game on Tuesday at my school and have already

-Designed the character
-Made the first 5 levels
-Made the enemies of the first and second worlds
-Figured out the scoring system
-Made the menu, credits, and help screens
-Done the backgrounds and platforms for the first 2 worlds
-Set it to 5 lives

Each world has 4 levels and I may add power-ups as I go
BTW, You gain 100 points when you lose a life, but I'm trying to figure out how to make the lives consistent(eg. If you end a level with 2 lives I want to have those 2 lives carried on to the next level, not reset to 5 lives)

Here are some screenshots of the menu and first 2 levels

I appreciate any feedback!

Hmm. Since it's Opposite Day, shouldn't you be playing as a hero trying to capture a princess?

To having the lives stay the same through the levels, have them set in a game start event.

YAY!! A NEW PLATFORMING GAME!! :D :D

Looks good, for the lives thingy make an object called obj_life_restore and in its create event, sets the lives to 5... put it only in the levels that you want to restore full health in it.. And remove the set lives event you put into any other object (except the extra life bonus of course!!) :D

I hope I helped!!
