This is for PyWeek - a one week long Python game development competition. This is one of about 50 entries in the competition.

You can see a screenshot, video, and diary entry for each of the seven days of work.

Here's a silent video of the last level in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpITJNHLb6I

I have observed a sneaky problem with 64-bit windows on some machines. What happens if you copy avbin.dll to c:\windows\sysWOW64\ ?

Sorry for the trouble. 1 week isn't a lot of time to develop a good game AND make sure it works for everybody.
