Cool, simple idea that works. I like the optional challenge of trying to collect everything.
Ultimately I found the controls pretty inconsistent. I had a lot of trouble making even simple
jumps, either because the jump button wouldn't work (I guess because it was still bouncing?)
or because I didn't press over at the exact right moment. The most frustrating thing was how you
would die immediately at the start of every screen if you didn't jump into the room just right,
without having seen it yet, and then have to redo the entire game. If it had just sent you back to
the previous screen it would have made a world of difference while still being pretty
challenging. Nevertheless, I had a good time.

'game over' would have been nicer when I grasped the idea the arrows reminded me of an elevator

made fun - but fuckin' hard to win a prize.

Nice.

Neat game to play, it was a fun game and there were certain difficulties when trying to control
the ball. Nice take on the theme. It would be better if the speed of the ball could be a little
slower.

The graphics are simple but fast, and trying to jump upwards to collect things while avoiding
falling back down the hole is actually pretty fun. Instant game over when falling through a
hole you just jumped up through is pretty harsh though.

1. It does not run on screens with some resolutions. 2. When I use another screen I got:
pygame.error: Couldn't open .../Above_and_Below/data/top/abv_blw.png 3. When I put some
file to abv_blw.png it works but has very unstable controls.

Got import errors with Python 3. When I switched to Python 2 I got an exception thrown because of
missing assets: pygame.error: Couldn't open
/home/ntoll/src/pyweek/Above_and_Below/data/top/abv_blw.png

To run the program, I needed to change a file name.

Had to fix a lot of bugs relating to incorrect usage of packages (didn't do from . import
sibling_module, instead did import sibling_module). After fixing bugs, game was
frustrating as you'd beat a level and then immediately lose because there is no delay on level
switch. The game would then mock you.

Was fun: I liked the concept simple and addictive. I liked the way the music was layered and
increased in intensity with each level you complete.

Unacceptable behavior by the participant, including the use of sexualized language or

The prize, was quite, a surprise. I don’t think it is appropriate though

I couldn't beat the whole thing but it played alright. The only reason I didn't finish was
because I didn't want to spend the time. The graphics were ok, the circle sprite was fixed to a
rectangular collider.

Game raised error and exited. It looks like you imported something that didnt exist, too bad
you cant fix it now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
