Another productive day!
I finished all levels, including a boss fight. I also worked on the GUI, added more sound effects, improved the controls and did a whole lot of balancing. 
The game now takes about 30 minutes to finish, which I'm a bit concerned about. At first I though a good amount would be 10 - 15 minutes because I didn't think the gameplay would hold up for any longer, and I'm still not sure it does. I'm getting very tired of it, but then I've played it for serveral hours by now.

Tomorrow I should add music, an intro screen, a death screen and some kind of ending. I will of course also do a bunch of playtesting and balancing. I would also like to try it out on some other computers, the rules says the game has to work with the latest versions of everything, but's written in Python 2.6, hopefully it will just work in a later version, but I have no idea really.

Oh yeah, that's a good point, are we supposed to be using python 3.x? I'm using 2.6 too, I imagine most are, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Python 2.6 is probably much safer to use at the moment.

Ok cool, thanks for the confirmation Richard.

Python2.6 is the latest reasonable version of pygame to target. You're probably using a recent enough version of pygame or whatever that it won't matter.

I envy your long gameplay :(
