Every game can be hacked, no one knows how to hack every game (though there may be a few who know the theory behind how to hack every game in a little more detail than "learn how to hack the game; hack the game).

And just because you download it doesn't mean it's not using flash, just because it's got an exe doesn't even mean it's not flash, you can download the swf from websites and run it and there are exe wrappers around swf files, and there's adobe air.

In this case, looks like it's a game maker game which uses doubles that all go through the same instructions so scripts are a serious pain in the ass but the values theirselves are just as trivial to find.

Not all games use direct values like you are scanning for. Some use obfuscated data to try and prevent hacking or at least deter it. Others also use different protected regions of memory or DMA to attempt to hide information (or just due to how things are coded.)

Another common issue is the memory access restrictions. On Cheat Engine's main window, tick the box next to 'Writable' to make it a square and try your scans again.


Also, try scanning for different data types. Not everything uses 4 bytes. When all else fails, use the 'Unknown' options to scan for things such as scanning for ammo like this via:
- Scan for: Unknown Initial Value
- Shoot a bullet in game.
- Scan for: Decreased Value
- Repeat until you potentially find the address.
