Waaaay better than what I was doing at 13. Good job!
I'm glad to see that you're getting started into game making so (relatively) young. Keep trying and get better!
One thing that would help a lot: The instructions aren't very clear. It took me a while to figure out which way to go and what I was supposed to be doing.
I certainly didn't make games when I was your age so I'm quite impressed (and even if I did I don't think I would have had the guts to enter an LD). Keep on making this kind of stuff and you will be a Game Maker guru in no time!
As a long time GM user (oh gosh I just realized I started using it around the time you were born xD), I would advise you to progressively steer away from the drag and drop functions when you feel confident enough to *replace* them (first you replace, then you create your own solutions).
Game Maker Studio is now incredible and I'm pretty sure you will become better in no time! Keep it up!
By the way, how can GMS stop you from creating a standalone executable? o_O
Hey, great job! This is a simple and fun little game! Keep it up and at this pace you'll be making AMAZING games in a couple years! Stick with it! 5 stars all around for encouragement :)
Quick GM tip: when you save the Windows executable, export as a .ZIP file instead of an .EXE - thus you get rid of the installer that everyone hates ;)
Thanks guys. @X-0r I kinda ran out of time so I had to leave that I was about to fix it but time got to me. So I had to hurry up! Btw Glad you enjoyed!

One word of advice, lose the install to play feature, it's nicer just to play from the folder.

I wasn't a big fan of the 'install to play' feature either. Would prefer to just unzip and play if possible.
Keep up the good work!
Too bad the game doesn't differentiate between "killed by terrorists" and "killed by mine", I actually walked on a mine on purpose to verify that :D
The "princess disappeared" reminds me a bit of the good old Super Mario series :D
Congrats on your submission!
