- Initial release

Other Information:
Made with Gamemaker Lite v8.1. You can download it at the Yoyo games website Here
If you are stuck you can press F1 to bring up the game manual. (press esc to close it).
If you are still stuck you can always ask for help here as well.
If you are ACTUALLY stuck (like in a wall) press "t" and type in "kill". this will set you back to your last checkpoint (by killing you).

Planned features and changes:
- A proper death animation (rather than just an instantneous teleport back to a checkpoint).
- Probably some sort of harsher death penalty. Right now it's more of a minor nuisance (Well depending on how far away you were I guess).
- A way to save the game so you don't have to play it all in one sitting if you don't want to.
- other stuff.

Boss guides
Here are some strategy guides on how to beat the 3 bosses in this game. Don't look at them unless you are really stuck though.

Enderman

Spoiler

The Enderman is the first boss in the game (although you don't have to fight him first) and is encountered in the overworld.
When you enter the Enderman's boss arena, also known as the creeper cave, you will see the Enderman standing on a platform above your head. He will then teleport between the other 2 platfroms and throw TNT at you.
At this point it is best to move slowly to dodge the TNT, as the Enderman will throw the TNT at where you are standing, so running wildly back and forth will just create a wider spread of TNT.
After a a bit the Enderman will stop this and teleport down to the ground and start slowly walking toward you. What you have to do now is knock him back into the waterfall behind him. You do this by using your sword.
The best tactic here is to walk up to him, stop, the hit him with your sword, the repeat. running up to him and spamming the sword key will just get you killed. Also, don't panic, you have plenty of time to hit him into the water, it is best to take your time then try to rush it. After damaging him an apple will fall, if you catch it you will heal some health.
You must hit him into the water 4 times to kill him. When the Enderman has only a quarter of his health left you will notice he throws twice the amount of TNT in the same amount of time. Don't panic, it is just as easy to dodge as before, although you may have to move a little quicker.
When you kill him the Enderman will drop an Enderpearl. Pick this up as you will need it to continue your adventure.

Blaze

Spoiler

The Blaze is the second boss you encounter in the game (although you can fight him first) and is found in the Nether.
The battle takes place on a platform of netherrack. When you cross the soulsand bridge it will vanish behind you and you will be confronted with the Blaze. There is a brief lull at the start of the fight as the Blaze circles underneath the platform, and you can use this opportunity to investigate the column of snow in the middle. Use your sword to move the snow.
Also when the Blaze is underneath the platform, lava will be dropped from above. Make sure to dodge them.
When the Blaze emerges he will start shooting fireballs at you. These are easy enough to dodge if you stand underneath the Blaze when he shoots them, otherwise, the Blaze may shoot them across the platform making them almost impossible to dodge.
When the Blaze once again ducks under the platform some pumpkins will drop from the sky. Push the column of snow underneath one of these pumpkins, preferably the one closest to the right, to make a snow golem.
The golem has the ability to throw snowballs at the blaze, and this is how you damage him. The best way to maximise your chances of hitting the Blaze before the golem dies is to hit it as soon as it emerges from underneath. With that in mind bring your snow golem to the right edge of the platform. When the Blaze emerges the snow golem will hit it and the Blaze will retaliate, by killing the golem with fire.
This must be done 4 times to kill the blaze.
When the blaze has only a quarter of his health left he will make lava drop when he shoots a fireball. This can make it difficult to dodge his fireballs.
When the Blaze is defeated he will drop a Blaze rod. Collect this to continue your adventure

Final boss

Spoiler

Are you sure you want to look at this guide (only look at it if you are up to the final boss)

Spoiler

When you come into The End you will quickly come across the final boss. Not the Enderdragon as you might expect, but Herobrine.
Herobrine will materialise in the air above you and promptly start flying back and forth while throwing TNT at you. Use the lessons learnt from the Enderman to dodge these and you shouldn't have a problem. He will also drop columns of lava, like the Blaze, but these are much easier to dodge and you shouldn't have much trouble with these.
After a short amount of time Herrobrine will demonstrate his true power with the Herobrine beam. These will insta-kill you but you will have plenty of warning to dodge them. After firing this weapon Herobrine has a random chance to come down to the ground. The chance increases each time he doesn't come down.
When he comes down you need to be careful as he teleports around you. Hit him with your sword to damage him.
The best tactic here is imply to stand still and let him come to you. You may need to quickly turn around when he teleports behind you so be aware of that, however he will not teleport behind you if you are against a wall. However once he is down do not try to run to a wall as you may end up running into him and dying. Best to stand still.
The chance of Herobrine teleporting back up vary depending on how much health he has left. The more damaged he is, the less likely he is to stay down very long.
Also, when Herobrine reaches half health he will fire 2 Herobrine beams, instead of just one. One will be where he is as normal, the other at a random spot.
When he gets to a quarter health he will fire 3 beams. one as normal, one random and the third one will be directly above you. So keep on your toes.
When he is defeated you may proceed to the final portal.

Well it's the first game I've ever thought good enough to distribute. I think it's pretty good.
However I'm the only one that has really playtested it so far so you guys will have to tell me if there are any bugs or annoying features.

The enchantment tables are checkpoints so there are a few of them around. Which one are you reffering to? and how are you stuck?

.
It is an .exe file so I had a feeling some people might have a problem with this. But I promise I haven't put any viruses in it . (I wouldn't even know how...)
If you are unsure though you don't have to download it.

[kanokarob]

OMFG.

Blaze boss cannot be beaten.

Whenever I make the snow golem (Which is seldom) the blaze kills it. The one time I have gotten the snow golem to stay alive long enough for the blaze to go back underground, the snowballs can't even hit the blaze! please fix!

Also, Maybe sometime could you release the source and/or add a "Creative mode" option where we can make our own adventures and post them here? Source mainly so I can see how you made the jumping, command interface, monster follow, etc.

Anyway, other than the blaze thing so far so good! Enderman!

Yeah the blaze boss is rather difficult but there is a technique to beating him:

Spoiler

The trick is to make the snow golem near the right edge where the blaze pops up from. If you have the snow golem close enough to the edge when the blaze emerges the snow golem will immediatly throw a snowball and hit him.
However this technique does require a lot of waiting around for the pumpkin to fall in the right place so you have to get good at dodging his attacks.

But I think you might be right. I think I might just rework the whole blaze fight. I have to admit it's not my best work.
Thanks for the feedback though .

EDIT: I will release the gamemaker file at some point but I want it to get a little bit more popular first.
For most of the more complex stuff in the game I made use of an add on library called "the dude's library". It gives a whole lot of additional actions you can do.
I'll see if I can find a link...
EDIT2: Here's a link to his website http://thedudeslib.webs.com/ You basically just drag the .lib files into the lib folder of your copy of gamemaker.

Thanks for the library. You don't need to completely change the Blaze boss though, just a few changes. Maybe make the Blaze slower, have him not go underground, get rid of lava, make pumpkins a bit more common, etc.

What if I made 3 pumpkins drop at once and made the snowballs move slightly quicker? You will still have to dodge his attacks but this will make it easier to hi him once you have a snowgolem.
I'll give it a quick play test and if it's any better I'll release it.

[Black_Drath]

Released V1.0.1
Few minor changes to the blaze bossfight to make it a little easier. It's still a hard fight but it shouldn't be nearly impossible now .
I do still plan on reworking the blaze though at some point so if anyone has suggestions on how I should do it I shall take it under advisement.

This looks familiar, oh yeah Terraria.

It's awesome!
This post would have more stuff, but I need to delete it and re-submit. Can't though.

As it turns out on my first go, I did not fight the Enderman. He is quite hard, and I love what you did with the battle. One suggestion, make porkchops occasionally drop from the water, so you can heal yourself, as I ended up beating him with half a heart, and that was after 20 tries.
