This looks really cool so far! I'm also making a platformer, but in Unity. I tried to use pygame before and I really liked it because Python is my favorite language to code in but I switched to Unity because I think for my first couple games I need the engine to help me out where it can in the development process haha. But I think if I ever made a strategy game it would be with pygame since all my data libraries are in Python. I really like the art so far, the sheep look really good!

Thanks! The reason I'm using python for this is because I picked it up and was liking it... I first heard of python as one of the easiest programming languages to learn (which I would say is a valid assessment because even though the indent format is strictly enforced, i don't have to do the semicolon thing like in Java. I mean there's more than that but its a relatively clean language in my opinion).
Though, I really should try using Unity or some other game engine to get a feel for them, especially since I've seen the powerful stuff those engines can do (especially when you can focus on other things besides the basic engine).
