Introduce
In Pac-Attack (GB), players will experience a unique puzzle game combining Tetris mechanics with classic Pac-Man elements. The main goal is to clear blocks and, more specifically, eliminate the ghosts that appear on the screen.
The game takes place on a rectangular playfield where various shaped blocks fall from the top. These blocks include regular brick blocks and colorful ghosts. Occasionally, a special Pac-Man shaped block will appear and fall.
Players must rotate and move the falling blocks to form complete horizontal lines, similar to Tetris. When a full line is formed, it disappears, freeing up space and awarding points. However, the biggest difference lies in how to interact with ghosts.
To eliminate ghosts, players need to guide Pac-Man to fall and make contact with them. When Pac-Man lands on a row containing ghosts, it will begin to eat all ghosts located on the same row or column (depending on Pac-Man's position and direction upon contact), as well as ghosts on blocks directly below it until it encounters a non-ghost block or the bottom of the screen. This process creates an exciting chain reaction and yields high scores.
Players can accumulate a "Fever" bar by clearing blocks or eating ghosts. When this bar is full, a special Pac-Man will appear, capable of eating many more ghosts effectively.
The game features several modes, including Endless mode (play until you lose), Puzzle mode (solve pre-set puzzles), and Vs mode (compete against the computer or another player if link cable functionality is available). Difficulty increases as players progress, with blocks falling faster and more ghosts appearing.
Pac-Attack (GB) requires agility, strategic thinking, and quick reactions to achieve high scores and survive as long as possible in this ghost-filled world.
