Pacman Matrix Review
By tjp7154 on 30 September 2008


Pros: Original take on Pac-Man, pretty good screen transitions, particle effects and intro.

Cons: Pac-Man and The Matrix themes DON'T go together well in this game, jumping too floaty, unoriginal sprites and music, glitchy death animation.

A good start, but needs a lot of refinement

The screen transitions and intro were pretty good, as well as the particle effects. This version of Pac-Man is played like a 2d side-scroller.

Pac-Man as a side-scroller isn't a bad idea, but it needs to be more refined.
- Dots should be better spaced out and easier to collect. It's too easy to jump and miss them.
- Ghosts should follow you more and not just be confined to their platforms
- Matrix theme doesn't go well with Pac-Man, at least how it is in the game

The wall/ground collision detection needs some work.
- When you hit the side of a platform, you shouldn't just stick to it when you're pressing in that direction.
