Hey, thanks for the response. Re-reading my comment, I was way too harsh here, and I apologize for that. I tend to be extremely critical of everything, but all things considered this a much better game than I was giving it credit for, and I have actually recommended it to a friend in the time since. I would still recommend that you try to find a way to distinguish yourself more, but obviously you see the value in that anyway so no point beating the point to death.
You're a more talented writer (and artist!) than most people making indie games, so I think I was frustrated seeing that talent used for something that felt so familiar. But the familiar is presented with skill, and people will connect with it more than I did I think. 
Wishing you all the best, I'll be here to play whatever you release.

Just finished the demo. Had a decent time with it, and I'm rooting for you, but this could be a lot better. As is, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who wasn't all-in on the games that inspired this, and even to them it would be a heavily-qualified recommendation. It's just too derivative, like astonishingly so. There's almost nothing in this game that isn't more-or-less pulled directly from UT/DR, Cave Story, and Cucumber Quest, and the imitation falls short of its inspirations because the music isn't as good, and the jokes aren't as funny, and the characters aren't all that charming, or even distinct. The art I will praise unambiguously, it's excellent, and the gameplay is decent, if a little harder than expected considering the cute and cuddly vibes. I will buy this game if it releases but without an identity of its own I can't see it getting far; I hope I'm wrong. I believe even wholly unoriginal games deserve to succeed if they're labors of love like this one, but I don't think the market agrees.

Thanks, this fixed it!

My attempts to compile are being thwarted:

"\extensions\GMLive_fallback\pre_build_step.bat\extensions\GMLive_fallback\pre_build_step_warn.vbs was unexpected at this time."
"\extensions\GMLive_fallback\pre_build_step.bat exited with non-zero status (255)"
What's up with this?
