Space Dock
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive

You dock your ship with the platform. The jerk thing spins, though. Captain Skyhawk was the inspiration here.
Controls:
Arrows/WASD = Movement. Left/Right to rotate, Up/Down to move forward and back.
R to restart
Q to quit
Enter works on the title screen to bypass clicking the button.
So this is my first LD, and my first non-tutorial Game Maker project that I've actually finished -- I'm pretty happy with that.
I was not enthused with the theme, but managed to think of something that skirted it closely enough and got it done. The shapes which comprise the docking platform shift around, and though it's done in the manner of levels, the ship's shape changes as you progress.
Did a ton of new things, learned a lot, and solidified some of what I already knew, which is always nice.
Tools:
Game Maker Studio
Bog standard Microsoft Paint (I know)
Game Maker's Sprite/BG editor (I know, I know)
BFXR
