First game on here and I honestly have no idea what I am doing... this has become increasingly frustrating for me as I attempt to use different programs. I've settled on game maker studio.

The idea behind puzzle jumper is to mix two incompatible genres: block puzzles with platformers
I am attempting to get a jumper who can get on top of the blocks and you will only be able to move the blocks if you are on them else they just drop. Holding down should make it go a faster. I envision trying to add power ups and coins... the dream shall continue  

It's still a work in progress. Here is some info:  
controls:  
R resets the game  

Player  
WASD to move  
Space bar to jump  

Blocks  
Arrow keys to move (only if player is on top of the blocks)  
Up arrow to rotate  
Down arrow to drop fast  

What I have accomplished:  
1) my own graphics  
2) basically a tetris clone  
3) randomly generate blocks that fall and can move  
4) blocks do not pass through walls or each other  
5) blocks convert into squares  
6) blocks can rotate  
7) player character can move and jump  
8) player character can stand on blocks and converted blocks  
9) player dies if squashed by blocks  
10) time based scoring added  
11) random blocks generate at random x location  

What I wanted to still accomplish:  
1) completed rows destroy  
2) scoring both time plus rows destroyed  
3) blocks can only move rotate when player jumps from them  
4) player move smoothly with blocks as they fall  

PATCH NOTES:
1.1 04/25/2018:
FIX stuck in blocks, player is not pushed away in proper direction
FIX can no longer rotate blocks into walls
FIX areas not covered by block turning into black boxes on drop

UPDATE moved score lower since you wouldn't see most of it
