'Dodger'-type game

I am attempting to write a game using livewires and pygame where I have a chef (only image I had, haha), avoid rocks that are falling from the sky. The rocks are supposed to fall in random places. I want it to be that 1 rock falls to begin with, then every time you successfully dodge a rock, 2 more rocks fall, until you lose. What I have so far is the chef and 1 rock falling. However, for some reason if the sprites collide, or if the rock touches the bottom of the screen, the game ends, without giving a game over message like I told it to. I'm very confused, and can't see what I did. I know that I did not code it correctly for the 2 rocks part, but I can't even get it to slightly run. Help! Here's what I have now:

from livewires import games, color
import random

games.init(screen_width = 640, screen_height = 480, fps = 50)


class Chef(games.Sprite):

    image = games.load_image("chef.bmp")

    def __init__(self):
        super(Chef, self).__init__(image = Chef.image,
                                  x = games.mouse.x,
                                  bottom = games.screen.height)

    def update(self):
        self.x = games.mouse.x

        if self.left < 0:
            self.left = 0

        if self.right > games.screen.width:
            self.right = games.screen.width

        self.check_catch()

    def check_catch(self):
        for pizza in self.overlapping_sprites:
            if not self.bottom>games.screen.height:
                self.end_game()


class Rock(games.Sprite):

    def update(self):
        if self.bottom > games.screen.height:
                new_rock=Rock(x=random.randrange(games.screen.width),
                              y=10,
                              dy=1)
                games.screen.add(new_rock)

    def end_game(self):
        end_message = games.Message(value = "Game Over",
                                    size = 90,
                                    color = color.red,
                                    x = games.screen.width/2,
                                    y = games.screen.height/2,
                                    lifetime = 5 * games.screen.fps,
                                    after_death = games.screen.quit)
        games.screen.add(end_message)


def main():

    wall_image = games.load_image("wall.jpg", transparent = False)
    games.screen.background = wall_image

    the_chef = Chef()
    games.screen.add(the_chef)

    rock_image=games.load_image("rock.bmp")
    the_rock=Rock(image=rock_image,
                  x=random.randrange(games.screen.width),
                  y=10,
                  dy=1)
    games.screen.add(the_rock)

    games.mouse.is_visible = False

    games.screen.event_grab = True
    games.screen.mainloop()

main()
A: 

You have declared end_game method in Rock class but you are calling it from check_catch method of Chef class.

Ok, thank you. My main problem is that the game ends once the sprite hits the bottom of the screen though, which I don't tell it do!
