Egads, you need it by Sunday but asked for help on Saturday??? At this point, I'd have to agree with @Invincible and recommend Scratch over GameMaker...if coding breakout took a week then you won't be able to make sense of any template created for you.
As a father myself, I'd also have to agree with Invicible about the helping part -- you're really doing him a disservice by doing this part of the project for him....even more so if it doesn't get done on time. Let him sink or swim on his own.
The tone of your background strings is very similar to suspense/horror movies and some of the transitions sound like the build-up to a "scare" scene.
Like mold said - it's a nice piece, but not all that "relaxing". When I hear it I imagine an underwater or possibly zero-g sequence where somebody is strugging to maintain control of their gear but ultimately fails and succumbs to their environment.
If it's just static background, you only have to make 1 - just make it the size of your room and seamless/scrolling.
If your player and other game objects will be interacting with it, then you'll need a "ground" object. In that case you'll probably want to make it the same size as your room grid - makes for easier placement.

Wow. I've never seen somebody so vigorously defend their ignorance and admitted lack of regard of licensing and copyright laws.
Way to go, sparky!
That'll learn those evil powermongers at OpenGameArt not to mess with YOU
Game.
Set.
Match.
I think that pretty much sums up this entire exchange.
Freakin hilarious
Nice...looks compatible with Jason-Ems Classic hero too! Adding to the collection.

I guess you can try Heartbeast's RPG tutorials and just watch the ones you'll need: basic movement, dialog, etc.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB2alpO62GM&list=PL9FzW-m48fn2ug_FSNnfoz...
