Reverse Scrowdriver Crafting - Pac-Man

Pac-Man is an arcade game considered a classic by many. The objective of the game is to eat all the pac-dots in the level to move on to the next. There are 4 enemies that roam around the level trying to capture Pac-Man. If one of them touches him, he loses a life. In each level there are power-up pac-dots that give Pac-Man the ability to eat his enemies for a limited amount of time. The power-up also slows the enemies and they reverse direction to avoid Pac-Man. Below is a sample playthrough of the first level in Pac-Man.

The purpose of this blog is to take a rule from Pac-Man and change it to reflect a new mechanic.

Rule: When Pac-Man eats a power-up pac-dot, he can eat his enemies.

Rule Change: When Pac-Man eats a power-up pac-dot, he becomes both invisible and invincible to his enemies.

Effects on Gameplay: Without knowing the location of Pac-Man enemies would resort to randomly moving about the level. The player would be able to eat pac-dots free of immediate danger. However, because enemies are moving randomly, the player may become visible near an enemy and suddenly find themselves in danger.
