Try reinstalling pygame. Make sure both python and pygame are 32 bit. Also, you can check if each dependency installed correctly.

your pygame is install not comolete, I have meet this problem months ago

you can try sudo apt-get install python-pygame if your system is ubuntu/debian

All the images used are png files, so it's fine. But BMP might face a problem based on the code below:
def load_all_gfx(directory, colorkey=(255,0,255), accept=('.png', 'jpg', 'bmp')):

jpg and bmp don't have '.' and will not be accepted

self.image = pygame.image.load('images/player.png')

I tried to uninstall pygame completely under pip site-packages, and then reinstalled, but the error still appeared
