Lady Pac
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Lady Pac is a homage to Ms. Pac-Man, an arcade game published by Midway in 1982.
Main differences from the original version:
- Procedurally generated mazes
- Bonus rounds
Gameplay
The gameplay is very similar to that of Pac-Man. The player earns points by eating pellets while having to avoid contact with the ghosts in order not to lose a life. Eating an energizer (or "power pellet") causes the ghosts to turn blue, allowing them to be eaten for extra points. Bonus fruits can be eaten to increase the score, three times per round. As the player progresses through the rounds, the ghosts' speed increases, and energizers generally reduce the duration of the ghosts' vulnerability.
At 10000 points and then every 50000 points, the player earns an extra life, for a maximum of 7 lives.
Options
There are 4 difficulty levels to choose from: Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert.
You can choose whether to start a game with 3, 4 or 5 lives.
You can choose whether to face 4, 5 or 6 ghosts.

Genuinely one of the best Pac-Man fangames I've played period. It feels incredibly accurate to the original arcade game's behavior. The randomly generated mazes all play pretty nicely, and the Bonus Ride's are a pretty fun little diversion the original game lacked entirely! I also appreciate the Speed hack being implemented here as an optional key press ~ Pretty much every version of Ms. Pac-Man I found in the wild as a kid had it and the game just 'feels' nicer with it on.
Curious, are there any plans for a Jr-Pac as well? I'm wondering what design challenges that would require overcoming.
Thank you so much for appreciating the work I put into making this game.
As for "Jr-Pac", as you would call it, I'm afraid I'm unlikely to make any more PC games. The ones I make for C64 are much more popular (judging by the number of downloads and especially donations), so I will focus more on them.
Fantastic! Thank you for Linux support!
Awesome! I started with the C64 version and had to come back for more. Love this version too now! Always great to pick up for a quick game. Beautiful graphics, perfect game play, and lots of variety. The bonus levels are such a great addition! Thanks!
Again, thank you so much for appreciating my work!
Thank you, thank you! I love this game, it's pretty much a Pac-dream come true. The colors! The mazes! The options! = D I made a little "let's play"
I also bought five more of your games so I have to go start working on videos
of them now.
Thanks for these great games, I can hardly believe someone actually made such great twists on these classic games!!! ^ D^^
I'm really very glad that you like my works! I wish there were more enthusiasts like you around the world. And thanks for your videos!
