LabyRun

LabyRun is a 2D maze race game built with Python and pygame. Two players start on opposite sides of a mirrored maze and race towards the treasure in the center, using power-ups and dealing with random events along the way.

Table of contents

Game overview

  • Two players race through a maze to reach the middle win zone.
  • The maze is mirrored, so both players have to find the same path.
  • Power-ups and random global events dynamically change the rules mid-race.

How to run

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • pygame library

Install dependencies

pip install pygame

Start the game

In the project root directory:

python main.py

Main features

  1. Procedurally generated maze – a new random maze is created for each game.
  2. Two-player local race – both players compete on the same keyboard and screen.
  3. Map power-ups – temporary bonuses and penalties that affect you or your opponent.
  4. Random global events – short events that make the race less predictable.
  5. Menus, settings and leaderboard – simple UI to start the game, tune options and view best players.

Power-ups

Power-ups are items placed in the maze that temporarily change how players move or interact:

  • Speed boosts and slows
  • Size changes
  • Teleports
  • Freezing and reversed controls

Random events

From time to time, short global events change the rules for both players, for example:

  • Harder-to-see walls
  • Temporary shortcuts in the maze
  • Sudden teleports
  • Slower movement for both players

Stats & leaderboard

The game tracks how many matches each player has played and won, as well as basic timing information, and shows a simple leaderboard with the best results.
