Hi, I´m Janek "Mc Jey" Roeben from Germany! Making PC games is one of my biggest passions since 2008, when my best friend and I started experimenting with YoYo Games´ "Game Maker" and making games as "U-GameZ" (the "U" is short for "UDIMA", our rock band). Of course, due to our "learning by doing" approach our first games were kind of "bad" and loaded with (sometimes hilarious) glitches and bugs, but we had a blast! Now that I learned a lot, I think U-GameZ can finally make (2D) games that are both funny AND work XD For graphics I´m using Photoshop and sometimes Paint (for pixelart) and animate them by hand or use "Spriter" from Brashmonkey. Sounds and music are done in Fruity Loops, Audacity and Samplitude Music Studio. You could say games from U-GameZ feel very hand-made and are full of charm and insider gags. At least I couldn´t make them without my friends´ and family´s ideas (and sometimes faces) and everyone playing them, so thanks to all of you <3 -Mc Jey-

Whoops, I messed up! We polished the background wall a little in the current build. In the final game you will probably see this disco-U.F.O. from the outside, too!

The Wiimote support is heavily improved and you have to hold it in various (silly) poses.

We think this means "faster". Our french is even worse than our English! Please let us know if you spot any mistakes. By the way, in this screenshot you can see the back of Gaylien´s head! I really like his ear piercings.

You can now show the Highscores in the options screen and reset them with the cute little bomb.

This is the new title screen of Error Ware 2. The logo will appear in many different ways and even the music has random elements to it! The background will probably change in future builds.

This is a variant of the spinning maze game, where you´re helping the fish to get back into his jar.

Here, you can see the new on-screen-keyboard in action! You can use it to type in your name while using a Wii Remote, a Gamepad or the Mouse (Or just use the keyboard).

If you click the orange button on the left you get access to more letters and symbols.

Unfortunately, every party comes to an end. Gaylien is cleaning up the mess, but where´s Mixy...? (In the bathroom probably!)

By the way, the player´s score & the highscore list will be added in a future built of tha game, so they are missing in this screenshot.

In the main menu, if you want to load a savefile please make sure it´s located in the same directory as the game. If you don´t have a savefile, the load button does not work.

That error message occurs sometimes when there´s not enugh free memory (RAM). I made this game in Game Maker 8.0, so when you start the game the whole game is loaded at once. Unfortunately that means slower computers may get this error message.. But there is a free "Lite Version" available u-gamez.jimdo.com which uses less RAM, please try that if you get that error!
