Is it like Game Maker and you have to pay for a full version or are the nice and cool people and give it for free.
Does it come with a tutorial and instructions to help you make characters, levels, etc.?
If you do have to pay for this, are there any other beginner type of game making software?
Thanks for any help to my ignorance!

Edit: Ignore the pretty much all of these questions. I have found them all out.
