Me and one of my neighbors downloaded a free program a week ago that allows you to make your own games. For reference, it's called Game Maker (bet ya didn't guess that). To get it, just type it into Google.

Anyways, we've been having a lot of fun with it and we've designed a couple of neat games, but I wanted to share the Squirrel game we made since I think it's pretty fun.

Just right click and choose "save link as..."

My high score is 61

Wow, thats pretty hard.

I got 52 *sulks*

The music is awesome. And the game is highly addictive. I only got 22...

YAY! Squirrels!

But not Mac-compatible squirrels...*goes off to sulk*

30. Some of those are impossible to get... Hmph!

Crap, I can't download it. I'm missing all the fun, eh?

29. That was tough!
It made me laugh, though. Nice work. -Applause-

It is definitely impossible to get them all, but you're allowed to miss up to ten. So a lot of the time, it gets to be a judgement call. After playing it a lot, I can now always get at least 35, and usually above 40.

Ah, Game Maker. Good memories. I remember the first game I made with it. It was a tutorial game though...You had to click blue ghosts without letting the red ghosts touch your mouse. There were two blue ghosts and like 50 red ghosts all moving fast in random directions.
