Matt Scorah of the GameMaker Blog spent the last few weeks putting this video together, and I can confirm that it is awesome. All of the games featured were either made or completed in 2009, with every developer allowed to have a maximum of only two games in it.

That 3rd game looks fun.
Very good choices. It’s nice to take a look back at some of the great Game Maker games of 2009.
This is pretty much awesome.
love the music
Amazing how many of those I never before stumbled upon. Does anyone have a link to the game at 4:00 called “Focus”? A bit of a problematic name when you try googling it, but it looks awesome!

Thanks a lot kind sir, didn’t think of searching the best indie blog out there 😉
There is a huge amount of amazing-looking stuff here – yo yo games has really done a miserable job of filtering out the quality stuff from the crap. Maybe that’s too much to ask considering the volume of stuff that’s on there but I wish there was *something* – I gave up on the site a while ago. Regardless, Game Maker is a great program and it’s awesome to see it being used like this.
