Endless baddies :/

Not much depth to the game play.

I saw the award for sneakiest variable, looked at the code, and LOLed.

The movement was sluggish as all heck so I didn't really enjoy the game.

this is a mosaic of another game

Nothing to say

falling down to infinity, get running too fast

Needs work.

It's really hard to get moving, which makes the whole thing pretty pointless. I'm not sure if I won or lost when I finally made it to the "boss", but it started me at the beginning again.

The controls are really weird and falling off a platform most of the time desn't even result in death. Some of the grpahics are decent, but its not consistent at all.

Physics seems buggy. Extremely slow acceleration but instant stopping, gets stuck in mid air when jumping, doesn't get carried along with moving platforms.

a few glitches such as the continual speed up when you press left of right. good work on entering pyweek.

Not bad for a solo entry in a first PyWeek. Keep coming back!

When starting the game, I get

Cannot load image: Images/pause.bmp
Couldn't open Images/pause.bmp

I patched the game to pass this problem (there is a case problem, "pause.bmp" should be "Pause.bmp"), but it still had many bugs (among them, I ran past the Boss cat and fell into the void, without losing, and I also had to "run" for a long time before the guy moved). The sprites were nicely done, and the collision detection worked fine.

The height was too much for my screen: http://www.superjoesoftware.com/temp/pyweek12-firery-dragon.png

As a dvorak user, I had to edit your source code to make WASD and L actually be where WASD and L are on the keyboard.

When I clicked to start the game:
$ python Pyweek\ 12\ game.py
Pyweek 12 game.py:382: SyntaxWarning: name 'scrollx' is assigned to before global declaration
global scrollx
Pyweek 12 game.py:659: SyntaxWarning: name 'ninja' is used prior to global declaration
global ninja
Pyweek 12 game.py:766: SyntaxWarning: name 'paused' is assigned to before global declaration
global paused
Cannot load image: Images/pause.bmp
Couldn't open Images/pause.bmp

After renaming all your images to lowercase it crashed because SOMETIMES you use uppercase in the source code, so I gave up.

There doesn't seem to be much of a game here, and what is here doesn't work all that well. A/D changed the pose but didn't move me at all. There's no Readme, no sound, the images are clearly not free to use, no challenge. The splash screen says there's a boss, but after punching goombas for 3 minutes with nothing interesting happening I gave up.

First problem i ran into was that i couldn't actually view the whole screen because it was too high.

I also go these trace backs on start-up

But the real killer was that i cant actually move sideways, all i can do is jump and punch goombas

Did not fit my screen, and I was unable to make it fit by simply modifying the display size in the source.
