Indentation in important in Python.

Also, "else if" should be "elif", and you ask for a guess only once.


title = "Guess my number game:"
print title.title()
raw_input("Press any key to continue..")

import random

tries = 0
number = random.randrange(99) + 1

# Ask for first guess.
guess = int(raw_input("Guess my number! Secret - It is between 1 and 100 :")

while guess != number:
     if guess > number:
         number = int(raw_input("Sorry, my number is lower than that! \n 
Try again:")
         tries += 1
     elif guess < number:
         number = int(raw_input("Sorry, my number is higher than that! 
\n Try again:")
         tries += 1

     # Ask for next guess.
     guess = int(raw_input("Guess my number! Secret - It is between 1 
and 100 :")

print "Congratulations, you guessed my number! \n And it only took you" 
tries "tries!"

raw_input("\n\n Press any key to exit..")
