RandomPac is a tribute to Pac-Man (Pakkuman), an arcade game released by Namco in 1980.

  Main differences from the original version:

  Procedurally generated mazesBonus rounds Gameplay

  RandomPac is an action maze chase video game; the player controls Pac-Man through an enclosed maze. The objective of the game is to eat all of the dots placed in the maze while avoiding four colored ghosts - Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (cyan), and Clyde (orange) - that pursue Pac-Man. When Pac-Man eats all of the dots, the player advances to the next level. Levels are indicated by fruit icons at the bottom of the screen. After the first 2 levels and every 3 levels thereafter, Pac-Man enters a bonus round where he has to eat all the blue ghosts or fruits before the time runs out.

  If Pac-Man is caught by a ghost, he will lose a life; the game ends when all lives are lost.

  Placed near the four corners of the maze are large flashing "energizers" or "power pellets." Eating these will cause the ghosts to turn blue with a dizzied expression and to reverse direction. Pac-Man can eat blue ghosts for bonus points; when a ghost is eaten, its eyes return to the center box in the maze, where it "regenerates" and resumes its normal activity. Eating multiple blue ghosts in succession increases their point value. After a certain amount of time, blue-colored ghosts will flash white before turning back into their normal form.

  Eating a certain number of dots in a level will cause a bonus item - usually in the form of a fruit - to appear underneath the center box; the item can be eaten for bonus points.

  To the sides of the maze are two "warp tunnels", which allow Pac-Man and the ghosts to travel to the opposite side of the screen. Ghosts become slower when entering these tunnels.

  The game increases in difficulty as the player progresses: the ghosts become faster, and the energizers' effect decreases in duration.

  At 10000 points and then every 50000 points, the player earns an extra life.
