INSTRUCTIONS ============ The Characters: Pacman: Monster: Power Pellet: Food Pellet: Aim Of Pacman: The aim is to eat all the food pellets that are in the maze, whilst avoiding the monsters. Once all the pellets are eaten, you proceed to the next level. Control: Control is using the keyboard or a joystick. The arrow keys move your player up, down, left and right. Press P to pause the game, P again to restart, S toggles sound on/off, M toggles music on/off and ESC to quit at any time. Game Detail: If you eat a Power Pellet, this gives you added power to devour the monsters for a short period. The monsters will flash so you know they can be eaten. Just before your power runs out, the monsters will turn white. If a monster is eaten, it will re-appear from the centre a short time later. There are also magic tunnels on most levels. These are shown by a hole at either the sides, or top and bottom of the screen. If you go through a hole, you will magically appear out the other tunnel. Useful for tricky situations! Difficulty: To make the game more challenging, at the end of every 3rd level, another monster is added to the fray, starting at level one with two monsters. Some mazes are harder to complete than others, but as you progress further you do get more Power Pellets to make things a bit easier. You can also set the difficulty level from the menu. Values range from 1 to 5, 1 being easy, 5 being very hard. The higher the number, the harder the monsters chase after you! Scoring & Lives: You score 1 to 5 points for each pellet (depending on difficulty level) eaten, 50 - 250 points for a power pellet, 16 - 80 points for the first monster eaten, and an added 16 - 80 points for each monster eaten thereafter during the same power run. At the end of each level you score a bonus of 100 points * difficulty level * your current Level No. You start out with 3 lives, and each time a monster devours you, a life is lost. At the end of every 2nd level (ie 2, 4 etc) a bonus life is added. Good Luck & Enjoy Playing!
