Now released in a v.1.2 in 2020 and made available for downloading! Guide RodMän around the maze, collecting the round purple things. Also collect the yellow diamonds because they're bombs and can be used to blow up RodMans enemies.

When moving around, avoid the things which are also moving around, as they aren't very nice.

Apparently, the things that move are called:

● Naughtly Nic
● Dirty Tim
● Desperate Dave
● Spurious Pete
● Teflon Timmy

Although no one knows why.

There are three levels, and each level has three screens:

● Garden
● House
● Basement

Giving a total of nine unique screens.

This is a Pacman clone and it combines Pacman and Bomberman because you can blow up your enemies with bombs. The game has been released in a v.1.2 and made available for free download. There was some problems with collision detection but this has been fixed now and the game plays well.

You have the usual gateways on the left/right side of the screen which takes you from one side of the screen to another, and then you also have doors at the top and the bottom of the screen. These doors combines the three screens each level has. You have to collect all of the dots to proceed to the next level, but you can collect as many as you like on the three screens, leave the screen, and come back for the rest later.

Compared to a standard Pacman game this one offers a good challenge, because the AI of the enemies are pretty good, and some of them can move just as fast as you ...and they will chase you! The only way to get rid of these is by using the gateway doors at the side of the screen or by blowing them up. You have to time it right when using the bombs because they first detonate after a few seconds, and you can also blow yourself up.

The dots will stop the enemies but after an enemy has touched a dot twice it will be gone, the same goes for the grass in the garden levels, and here you also have to eat your way through the grass, which will slow you down.

It is a simple game but it plays fine and offers a good challenge. A fine Pacman clone worth checking out!

This walkthrough ends when the game loops.
