PyWeek - Cookie Monarch - feedback

The game didn't run for me

The code will not run I did all the steps in terminal and tried it in idle and it didn't work when I run it in idle or terminal it looks like it's working but nothing happens

Well, I had to start like 3 times but I didn't understand what to do. Then after glimpsing into the level code I found out that this where actually areas of a map. At the end I made it to the rocket, but nothing happened there. So I'm not sure what I did wrong (or did right). Using a blank background does not help moving (you have no point of reference). Sometimes when colliding with something the Cookie went invisible.... or maybe teleported some where else.

Almost forgot: I played the source version. My virus scanner complained about main.exe to be a dangerous!!
Why is there a main.exe in the source zip (Cookie_Escape.zip)?

Couldn't launch

Movement was pretty quick on my screen probably cause of frame settings I'm playing the game on a 144 Hz monitor but it would make my character.

Had to change windows path separators to universal path separators to get the game to run. Not a big deal. Was a bit unclear what was going on. Nice Art and good first game!

Cookie kept disappearing
Cookie would sometimes go in the opposite direction compared to the input
Everything would disappear sometimes

cookie dissappeared, stones dissappeared, pretty unplayable. No sound, assets are just cookie and red bg, some stones that also disappeared. theses some bugs indeed

A little strange game. It's not entirely clear what to do with it. However, it starts up. Already good.

I personally liked the idea of the maze and the mechanic of the deadly orange tiles, though the game might miss a bit of music. I think I discovered a bug: when you get to the wall near the emergency rocket, if you continue moving towards the wall, the game camera will move to the left but the cookie will disappear.

Great to be able to pause/open the help screen using Tab.

As the screen doesn't have a "border" when running around, I don't see what I'm running into.

I don't see orange tiles, yet I'm still being reset or die(?).

Even after picking up the blue projectiles, I'm not able to shoot? Is rotation used to decide where to shoot?

I wasn't able to play the game beyond the first screen.

Nothing happens after this. Game does not start but Pygame starts.
