The physics were well done and the jar contents were cool.

Cute and fun. Silly but in a good way.

Minor quibbles:

I found the 3d boxy font a bit hard to read. I am old.

To get it to run on Linux I had to make a symlink from thedude_cut.png to theDude_cut.png. Suspect a typo somewhere.

That said, great effort.

Pretty fun! I actually played to the 16th level, but it never got much more difficult and started getting boring. But nice game otherwise! I like the graphics too!

Awesome. I love being a clumsy, crotchety old man that gets to break things and get away with it.

Very interesting humoristic idea, gives me the vibe of funky smugglers and angry birds. pixelart serves this game well.

The Game Over and level title screens are a bit on the lengthy side. I failed a lot and the waits got annoying. D:

Fun concept though, and the sprites are great. Love the old man. And I'm envious of your music work. :)

Annoyingly, the pybox2d that ships with Ubuntu is 2.0.2 and crashes the game. :(

Steps snipped from the pybox2d page:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev swig python-pygame subversion
svn checkout http://pybox2d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ pybox2d
cd pybox2d
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install --force

Funny idea! I really like how your arm stretches and the items in the jars are pretty silly. Very catchy background music, although the sound effects did seem a bit too loud. Simple and effective, good job!

I think the difficulty could ramp up a bit more quickly and it could use a bit more variety to the physics (not sure what--exploding jars?), but that aside it's an interesting and well put-together game.
