Maze - Game Template
Create 2D maze games where the player has to find the way out. Draw the maze yourself, or have one generated every time the level is played. Multiple floors, a torch that only lights a few cells ahead, and a trail showing where you have already been.
This game template allows you to create games like Maze, Labyrinth and Pac-Man.
Features
No programming required
Create maze games without coding.
Draw the maze
A maze is walls on the edges between cells, not blocks dropped on a floor - so you draw it by clicking the wall between two cells, and hold the button to draw a run of them. The editor shades every cell the player could never walk to, which is the one thing that makes a maze impossible rather than hard.
Or have one generated
Five maze algorithms, each producing a recognisably different maze: long winding corridors, short branching ones, an even texture with no bias, an easy open maze, or chambers and doorways. Generate a fresh maze every time the level is played, or generate one once and then edit it wall by wall - both write into the same maze.
Two ways to move
Every maze picks how the player moves: along the cell grid, turning where the corridors cross - or freely at so many pixels a second, sliding along the walls. A grid maze also says how long the player rests at each cell, which is the difference between the classic maze walked one considered cell at a time and an arcade one that never stops moving.
Multiple floors
A maze can be a stack of floors joined by stairs, each one its own maze with its own colour. Put the exit on the top floor and the keys on the way up.
Darkness and the trail
Light the whole maze, or only a few cells ahead - the light travels down the corridors rather than through the walls. Then leave a trail behind the player, so a junction they have already taken the wrong turn at is visibly one they have already taken.
Items and enemies
Keys that have to be found before the exit opens, torches that light the whole floor for a few seconds, and things walking the corridors that wander, hunt the player through the maze, or patrol a fixed circuit round it.
Mazes
Create any number of mazes, each with its own size, darkness, goal and floors. Every one keeps its own best time and best score.
