So you need python and pygame for it, here's a little step by step tutorial on how to install both and play the game:
(To be clear, this tutorial assumes you're using windows)

  1. Download Python at: Download Python | Python.org
  2. In the installer, check the box "add to PATH" (at the bottom) then install
  3. Follow the installer until it quits
  4. Open CMD by looking up CMD into the search box at the bottom left of your screen (it shows up as command prompt)
  5. Type "pip install pygame" into CMD
  6. Wait for it to finish then doubleclick the .py file in the downloaded zip

I hope it works, thank you for being willing to try out our game :D

Thanks for the explanation! However, even though I have already successfully finished points 1-5, I can't do point 6. When I just double click on the .py file, it opens up in my Visual Studio Code as a text file with code. When I try to run it there, I just get a bunch of errors. I tried opening it with "Python", but that does nothing. I don't know what else I should open it with to actually run a game and not view the code...

Ah I'm sorry, in that case you can install the python extension in the extensions page of visual studio code (the three squares with one square sticking out, and then in the search bar you type in python), and then run it by pressing F5 and selecting python.

After downloading the python extension you might need to restart your visual studio code though, but I'm not completely sure

And again, thank you very much for trying :)

Oh god... finally got it to work, but had to google why I got the error "FileNotFoundError: No file found in working directory." I had to change my working directory to the file path first, and then run the game.py. Then it worked.

I can finally rate your submission then :D I like the idea, simplicity and cute artwork, good job!
