I do wonder though, how much like a 'Game Maker game' does Game Maker make their games look like when 'compiled' with the tool? Is it very or slightly obvious? Or would you have to know about Game Maker and be CS savvy enough to discover that the games were made with Game Maker?
Have a look at and play some of the games at YoYoGames.com ( some can be played from within a browser, as that plugin was written using C++ ) that will give you an idea if games made with the tool all look the same, or can be customised to look the way you like.
