Extra Information:
I have tested everything within this setup, in the given configuration, on multiple systems, very meticulously to ensure that it works. If there is any glitch related to your unique setup that you uncover I would be happy to go into the code and try and solve it, if you are able to provide specific details on what you ran into.
Disclaimer: This help would cover anything to do with the asset prior to any code changes made by the purchaser. This code is quite advanced (hence the title "Advanced Menus") in some places and making changes to core functions can be "game-breaking" and require a fresh load of the asset. I am not a free troubleshooter that can assist in helping you expand the game past what is provided here, there are a multitude of resources for that.
All sprites are very straightforward, so you can overwrite them with your custom art and make the game look any way you want. Buttons can be moved within the rooms as well to create custom layouts based on anything you want to do.
All variables in the code are written in a very straightforward way so it's easy to go in and adjust things with just a basic knowledge of GML. I like to keep everything lowercase so I don't typo, and also error on the side of a long variable name over an acronym so I don't forget what it does. If you are new to GML you will probably appreciate this because it is very easy to read.
The menu system is really whats impeccable here. The Platformer Engine is very basic, and can definitely have more advanced features added to be improved upon. However, as it is the player can navigate through the multi-elevation room, jump to collect stars, and reach a goal object to finish the room.
