These people are worthy of making a PacMan clone.
If you haven't tried Pac the Man, you've missed one of the better experiences in life.
I say this over and over again: This is the best conversion I've ever seen!
(Just one hint for you: You can use GraphicConverter or Photoshop to edit your ghosts slightly translucent, if you want).
I upgraded from 1.0.6 to 1.0.8a and now I find it very annoying because the speed is now variable. Must be a Leopard incompatibility. I hope it gets fixed so the Pacman will not keep slowing down and speeding up at different times in the game.
Not only is the previous reviewer spot on, this version is even more vicious than the previous one.
For one to do well, one must not only have perfect concentration, but one must be: young, have perfect reflexes, be totally without any physical/neurological handicaps whatsoever.
If you fulfill ALL the above qualifications, and fulfill them 100%, you have a fairly good chance of advancing through the ranks to higher levels.
If not, be prepared to be made a fool of, over and over again.
If you like a game to spit in your face, kick you in the groin, puke on you, let you know again and again how worthless you are, and laugh contemptuously at you, this game is for you. It is positively VICIOUS.
It is designed to prevent you from really excelling at it. You may play it hundreds or even thousands of times, but Pac the Man will soundly humiliate you 9 out of 10 times. This game must have been created by demonic entities. Most often, it will leave you feeling miserable after playing it. If you feel the need for repeated psychological punishment, Pac the Man is the game for you.
Masochists, rejoice! We have found our game.

But... The ghosts shouldn't be able to move faster than you! It's just not sporting! :(
Developer: please implement an easier mode.
