As one of the pioneers of casual games, Pac-Man is loved by players for its unique opening and closing shape and simple operation.

With the gradual development of TV games, Pac-Man with different elements and styles has appeared in front of players one by one. Among them, the "Light Pac-Man" provided by Zhongwan Games also shows its unique charm on the big screen.

Different from the traditional Pac-Man casual series, Glow Pac-Man adds the colorful neon light effects. When combined with the deep and sexy jazz music, it feels like being in an American cabaret in the 1920s, creating a visual and auditory enjoyment. The scene of the constantly changing colors of the outer coat on the 40-inch Xiaomi TV also shows the "glare" vividly and exquisitely.

The image of the soybean that opens and closes in Pac-Man has also changed here. Here, whether it is the all-English instructions or the appearance of Pac-Man and his pursuers, all objects are made of rectangles, and under the ever-changing seven-color light, a sense of tension in adventure games is created. If the player watches the full-body screen of the game process from a distance, will it feel very similar to the QR code that can be seen everywhere now?

However, under such a tense and exciting feeling, the operation of "Glow Pac-Man" is actually no different from ordinary casual games. Even though the interface and instructions are all in English, the familiar method can make players easily operate it with the help of the handle or remote control.

It is worth mentioning that although the level setting of this Pac-Man-type game is the same as other casual games, the rich elements in the game are worthy of players' surprise. In the maze-like scene, whether it is pushing boxes to block pursuers or avoiding various traps on the wall, it can make players recall the memory of operating various games.

"Pac-Man: Shiny" is different from other versions in terms of pursuers. The pursuers are faster than the players, and they no longer have fixed roads. Instead, they are smarter and will calculate the nearest road while chasing the players. The most amazing thing is that the opponents will actually work as a team, making the players rack their brains to avoid them all the time.

As the game progresses, the complexity of the scene and the intelligence of the pursuers are also increasing, but the appearance of various props can also save the player from urgent difficulties. Whether it is the setting of a safe door or a stealth prop, it can allow the player to avoid the opponent's attack. The existence of lightning and protective clothing can also allow the player to do the opposite, and eliminate the enemy while eating beans, which may wipe out the resentment of the player being bullied by the pursuers in the past.

During the game, players can use props to compete with pursuers, but don't rely too much on props. The use of props is limited by time or number of times. If you are not careful, players will suffer in the game. However, the game is no longer a one-time life. The appearance of the health bar also prevents players from having to start over due to different mistakes, allowing players to adjust their methods as soon as possible when they make mistakes, making the whole game much easier.

The game as a whole is different from other casual games in its star rating system. It uses a scoring system. Every time a player eats a bean, in addition to the deserved score, it will also affect the additional part of the final total score. Obstructing or destroying pursuers will also generate points accordingly. In terms of displaying one's superb skills, different scores will also produce different senses of accomplishment.

However, the game becomes too difficult in the later stages, and is mixed with many elements that increase mental activity. Frequent changes in color can easily make players feel tired, making it unsuitable for long-term gaming.

Summarize:

How can we make TV games more attractive to more people? In game production, sometimes a little bit of unique innovation can give old games a new lease of life. "Pac-Man" adds glare color vision to Pac-Man, and also blends in alternative elements in the game. The simple operation also makes it easy for players to get started with the game, making the Pac-Man series shine again on the big screen.

But to be fair, "Pac-Man", a classic game that was born in the 1970s, has passed its 50th birthday. With the development of TV games, the old model of games will no longer be able to meet the needs of many players in the future. There is still a long way to go to explore a development path that is truly suitable for TV games.
