Reviews for "Pac Hunters"
This game is very reverse of normal, what you wouldn't expect in a Pacman Game. What is normal for the Spider, is chaos for the Fly. Great job, I give it 5/5 stars rating. Wish there were a download link where I could download this onto my computer.
Very fun game! Great job! :D I scored only 69 360 points, but still :D
Certainly is an interesting approach on cat & mouse games, no doubt.
The object is to kill Pac-Man- Oh I'm sorry! I mean "pacmen" according to the author's comments. You play as the ghosts, and all you have to do is touch the yellow moving character to win. Now pacmen moves faster than, so you must use the help of ghost AI's to corner their yellow a$$ once & for all!
Now your AI ghost are not that smart. They will constantly run back & forth, go around in circles, and often times turn in a direction that doesn't help you in the slightest. And when they see pacmen, they will immediately rush them without any tactic whatsoever. This fits into the game however, and it's up for you as the player to be the tactician, as well as predicting the outcomes each character will go. This is arguably one of the greatest parts of the game, and something that turned out to be more impressed with than expected.
If pacmen eats a flashing white ball, your ghosts will turn pale blue. At that point, cat & mouse roles are temporarily reversed, and you are vulnerable to being killed by pacmen. If pacmen eats the ghost you are playing as, you will automatically take control of the next surviving ghost. The arrow indicates what ghost you are currently playing as. Becareful! Your game will be over if pacmen kills all your ghost, or if all pellets are eaten.
The game is never-ending until you die. Your best high score is saved per-game, so you always know how much your best was. It erases however if you delete your cookies. The Scorechart is as follows...
+10 = Each pellet still on the map upon level completion.
+1000 = Kill pacmen
Aside from exact same levels being reused later on, I never really had an issue with the game. The song can get repetitive without a mute button, but those are pretty much the only two things I can complain about - gameplay wise. I feel like this parody has potential to be expanded. Add more levels, more pacmen as levels progress like every 5 or so. But of course because this is a parody, it may not be destined for success. The one complaint I do have is that parody isn't listed in the tags, so it's technically leeching the Pac-Men for popularity, when it should be building it's own reputation. Add "Parody" to the tags, or remake the game so that Pac name is less obvious.
Final Verdict: 7 out of 10
NG Rating: 3.5 Stars

Thanks for the nice review! :) I thought it was quite obvious the game was based on pacman, but I've given some credit in the description just to be clear. Also took your advice and added "Parody" to the tags... I didn't know that was a tag that spin-off games were supposed to use. But thanks for the informative review! I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the game! :)
