Ok I just spent 2 hours trying to turn your game into .exe but now I'm too tired to try again... Sorry :(
If you wanna try by yourself you should look for "py2exe" or "cx-freeze". But it won't be an easy task. If you want to make so 'user-friendly' games, i'm afraid that you should drop python. You should take a look at Javascript because I find it very similar to Python. Or java if you want.
Well, you should also tell that we need pygame to run your game! And also that it doesn't run on python 3.x (a few changes are needed)!
About your game:
After all the troubles I had to run the game, I was very surprised to find a neat game! Honestly, I liked it! And the text-thing is so cool :D
You've got quite a good gameplay.
The sad thing is that there is only 3 levels, and when you win the level 3, the game crashes :D
Good job for a first LD!
You might try http://pygame.org/wiki/Pygame2exe - I've seen some entries successfully packed into exe using this,
Actually, having Python 2.x + PyGame shouldn't be that uncommon (I should know, I don't use PyGame but it's a 5min installation = doable), and your game is pretty decent. Totally worth it.
If this is indeed your first python program, then it's really great. It works, the typing text thing looks and sounds awesome, the text itself is funny (after level 3, when it crashes, I really lol'd), the gameplay is decent and I like how the bottle on the right feels with bacteria. I also think you could easily expand the gameplay and make it more fun by adding some specific goals and stuff.
Really, this is actually a good entry! Liked it!
Game refused to run, even from command line.
