Here it is, friends. I hope it works on windows. I was really laggy on the only windows machine I could test it on, but I’ll try it on my windows partition later tonight. It works as intended on my Mac though. I’ll try it on Linux tomorrow as well.
I was rather uninspired at the end, but I hope you all enjoy it anyway! I feel like I had time to do a game with larger scope, but I didn’t have an idea that was big enough.
Get It Here
The Mac and Windows dists should work now, please let me know if they don’t.

Nifty music, the gameplay gets rather boring pretty fast.
Simple game, it's not hard to play or to figure out. Life is hopeless truly is hopeless. :D

Eventually the guy gets high enough that the nets won't hit the owls anymore.

The sluggishness of the controls kind of kills the fun. Nice scary music!

Doesn\'t work for me. Crashes in game.py line 160

Surprisingly fun despite the simple gameplay.
Awesome mood.
Entertaining on a lot of levels - graphics, music, sound. Please do confirm in a post that the sound's all custom though :>

N/A for audio for cheating. I hope you don't get ranked there. Remember the very simple rule: everything has to be your creation, within the 48 hours.

It was all flickery here (windows), like constantly skipping back a frame, so the owls jumped a bit. It looked almost intentional like an old movie, but really annoying!

Not much game play because you just don't have that much control over the nets. The best way I had to play was just constantly tapping space. The nets are too slow to actually aim for any incoming owls.

A unique idea, though, and surprising that a baby can climb the entire side of a building.
Wonderful sound !! Reasonably good use of theme. A guy climbing a tower ... guess that passes. Graphics were a bit flickery.
I see you played a quick game of Mondrian, my LD11 entry toward the end of the 48 hours :) ... I award a blatantly biased "5" for timelapse !

When I finally got it to work (I had to get pyglet and figure out how to tell python where it was on my system), I found the play mechanics to be quite ingenious. I laughed at the Life is Hopeless option.
Very choppy on vista, but still playable if it's on easy (normal was too choppy). Needs some sort of variety -- the dude slowly ascending the wall got boring fast.

Works nice on my Windows machine. The collision detection is a bit player unfriendly, sometimes a owl hit is registered while it\'s a few pixels apart.
The download is huge! And the game seems to get easier the higher up the wall you get because of how slowly the nets fall. The music was cool.

Well this game was kind of frustrating because of heat seeking owls :D After few tries I was able too see them in this flock of owls but was unable to hit them because net was hitting other owls making it hard to play even on normal.

Tough sounds were pretty good :)

Your pancakes looked testy :D
