Was this really made with Gamemaker?

I mean...most game maker games are garbage so its just hard to believe. I mean its kinda like how all the RPG maker games are pretty much the same. But this game is pretty great.

Huuuh I think you are mistaken. There are actually a lot of games with a great variety made with GameMaker, such as Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Gunpoint or Risk of Rain to name a few of the commonly known examples :)

Oh wow I didn't know about that. Gamemaker is open source then I guess? Kinda like unity because unity has some really awful games that make that engine look terrible.

Well, you can see for yourself: https://www.yoyogames.com/studio
As for Unity it's the same, there a lot of big hits which were made using Unity: Rust, Wasteland 2, Endless Space...

Also, just to be precise, Original version was made using GameMaker and Updated version (which is actually the port to PS3/Vita) was made using PhyreEngine.

I know Unity has good games on it but most games before a lot of the new ones made it look really really terrible.

GameMaker: Studio isn't open-source, if you want open-source alternative, you might consider Phaser + Webpack + Capacitor stack.
