After setting up the project and installing the pygame package, I started it up and ran into the same error NuGameDev did when trying to play. I was able to get around it by commenting out that one "debugMenu.push("fps", 1/self.deltaTime)" in main.py.

Neat idea for a game! I thought timing hits with notes on the scale was cool. I got stuck on the second level... it seems like one of the notes doesn't apply enough upward force to make it to the next note. I tried replaying it a couple times and the same thing happened.

I also tried the version here: https://replit.com/@andel252/Scale-Runner-with-audio-5

Although I had issues, I still think this is a cool concept. Nice work!

Thank you so much! I'd realised that bug about the level but didn't have time to fix it before uploading, sorry about that. I'll try to fix it after the jam ends.

Sorry, I ran out of time to package it before the submission deadline so had to submit as is. I don't really know why those errors are occuring as they weren't happening for me. Thanks for trying to play my game anyway.

You can publish fixed for gamebreaking bugs. I could not also play your game

You have some blockers to playing.  The game is in native Python, so anyone who wants to play it will need a Python environment set up and the modules you used installed.  I'd recommend you package it up as an .exe using PyInstaller or something similar.

That said, I did start it up, but as soon as I clicked on the 'C' or what-not, it crashed with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Users\q\Downloads\Scale-Runner-with-audio-5\main.py", line 870, in <module>

    level = levels[level].playLevel()

  File "C:\Users\q\Downloads\Scale-Runner-with-audio-5\main.py", line 499, in playLevel

    debugMenu.push("fps", 1/self.deltaTime)
