Python compiled code crashes - py2exe

Question

I made this game in python 2.7 and it worked in .py format but when I compiled it with py2exe it suddenly broke. It gave me this error:
"Microsoft Visuak C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:\Python27\Helmetdodger\Stuffz\main.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the program's support team."
The code:

My buildscript was incorrect, I found a better buildscript online to use instead
