Make sure you have someone to play against! It's not a lot of fun with only one player and I had no time to write an AI (it would have taken a week on its own I guess).
We finished the sounds today and I think they complete the personality of the game very nicely. I'm the voice of the left ninja and my wife, Beata has voiced the ninja on the right. I have also framed the game with instructions (like in the image above) and gameover screens today, so it will hopefully give the impression of a proper game to casual observers. The game starts up with a randomly chosen song (of a set of 3), so do not be alarmed if you hear very off-key whistling — a simple restart will probably fix it.
Although our towers do not sway I hope they can still be called wibbly-wobbly. They look really unstable when cut the right way!
I resisted playing your games until now, but I am looking forward to indulging myself next week! Have a nice Easter!

(What sort of a weird glColor3f() do I have that was happy with four arguments?!)

Unfortunately there's no global variable to flip to turn it off, but if you remove all the pyglet.resource.media('something.ogg').play() lines that will kill the sound effects and then you're left with the music. If it still crashes you can try removing the music parts in the Game class.
Sorry for the lack of testing and thanks for trying to get it work!

This is due to pyglet liking unix style paths with resources, and that glob is polite and returns OS specific paths. A fix for this (tested with your code, also the globx workaround worked with multiple OSes in other pyweek):
Add the utility function globx somewhere in main.py
import os, glob
# must return unix style paths, which is what pyglet.resources expects
def globx(s):
if os.sep == '\\':
s = s.replace('/',os.sep)
li = glob.glob(s)
if os.sep == '\\':
li = [ s.replace('\\','/') for s in li ]
return li
and replace in your main.py, class Game
def startinstructions(self):
self.instructions = [sprite(x.split('/')[-1]) for x in sorted(glob.glob('data/instructions*.png'))]
with
def startinstructions(self):
self.instructions = [sprite(x.split('/')[-1]) for x in sorted(globx('data/instructions*.png'))]
---
With these the game launches, and you can get to the level screen.
But shortly after start the level I pressed key '1' (one) and got:

That should be trivial to fix, but I must go work.
