Me too. I have learned a lot in that one week, so it wasn't worthless. Maybe next year with a little bit more experience (and with Unity instead of Gamemaker).
Nice little game you have made. I have liked, that you have added controller support, too. I love collecting stuff in platformers. The different abilities in different phases was a great idea! In my opinion the walking sound is a little bit monotonous, 3-4 sound randomly changing could have sold that problem. Maybe a button for "running"? Altought, that could have broke the intended gameflow.
Yes, unfortunately I have needed a more complex equation than I could came up on spot with a one week experience. Maybe next year I will be in the top 20! :D
