When I try to start GuyBounce.py, I get an error: Traceback: File: GuyBounce.py, line 165 Main('map2.map').loop() File: GuyBounce.py, line 36 self.data = Data() File: objects.py, line 29 for fil in os.listdir(datdir): Windows Error: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'data/.' Maybe it's a windows thing.

This has the potential to develop into an actual game, but I think you still need to work on improving the main gameplay/physics. Several problems: 1. The ability to climb straight up walls (by just holding in the same direction) just seems way too much like a glitch, and not very controlled. It's even possible to beat every level (even level 3) without it! 2. It looks like you're using pygames Rects to store position data, but they truncate the position value to an integer everytime. Since you want your Guys to use non-integer velocities sometimes, this makes the Guys' movement a TON less smooth than it could be. 3. You should put in pygame.quit() when the game ends!

@Andy: ah yes, that would happen when using a different version on python....I'll update the zip to include menu.py

yeah, i actually included the level editor, which (though rough) is workable -- if you hack a little bit. this is kindof just a teaser -- more levels will be forthcoming

Nice, but it needs more levels!!
