The Impossible Pikeman!!!!

This game is my submission for my final year of Computer Engineering, all coded using Python through the Pygame library. This is essentially a proof in concept of a game I would like to make with something a little bit more complicated than Pygame, but regardless, as my first game, I am proud of this project and hope to experiment with Pygame a little more before trying something else.

Enough formalities. This marks the debut of the cockney fighting robot Pikeman! You go through 3 courses, with each course containing 5 levels, all the while pitching fists and dodging snot at some weird alien fly elephant jerks for good measure!

Controls:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hit G to move forward, P to Pause, M to return to the Title screen, R to restart the whole course and E to immediately quit the game  

The Up key is for flying ( If you let go of it you immediately fall down and cant get up)/ While falling it makes your descent slower

The Down key is for falling faster but can also act as breaks of sort when nearing an enemy and punching them.

Right and Left key are self explanatory.

The Z key is for the left punch.

The X key is for the right punch.

The C key is for a dual punch, (Can only be done when boosting).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The game works like so:

As Pikeman, like said above, you can fly up to the screen and have the options of punching left, right or throwing both fists. You can only attack badguys after punching the projectiles they try to spit at you while in midair, giving you a short boost of speed!

If you have your fists reach the nose of a badguy(whatever is between their wings), their eye flies out from one side, conking other badguys that are in its way. The direction the eye comes from also depends on the punch given, so if you hit them with the left punch, it comes out of their left, dig?

If you use a dual punch (the double fist attack), you gotta make sure that Pikeman is right under the badguy's nose, and wham, eyes come out from both sides !

Once you punch a badguy or even get hurt, you gotta return to terra firma to move up again.

Badguys will also start to amp their pace if you thump them one by one, so align them with each other to get hit by their buddy's eyes, making them run to their mamas quicker.

Keep in mind that this all happens under 50 seconds for each level, so you gotta make it snappy!

If you eat dirt in one of the courses, you have to restart the whole course again. Make it out of a level unscathed and you get 3 bonus points; you get fewer bonuses by the times you get hit, and none when you have less than 3 health.

Score:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hitting an enemy on their wing: 1 pt

Hitting an enemy on their nose : 2 pt

Hitting an enemy with a dual punch : 2 pt

An enemy being hit by a projectile : 2 pt

To keep your score you gotta make sure your dont restart the couse under any circumstances, sorry.
