Pac-Out Invaders

Pac-Out Invaders is a game that combines Pac-Man, Breakout and Space Invaders. The game is mostly based on Breakout, with Pac-Man replacing the ball. The goal is to get Pac-Man to eat all the pellets on screen without falling or touching the Ghost Invaders. The paddle has the ship from Space Invaders attached. The player has to shoot the ghosts to prevent them from hurting Pac-Man. This creates a sort of hectic back-and-forth where the player has to keep bouncing Pac-Man, while making sure the ghosts can’t hurt him.

I made this game as an exercise to learn Unity. My cousin and I wanted to join a Game Jam, and to prepare ourselves, we did a little exercise. We both had to remake an existing game, with a unique twist. While I had used Unity in the past before, that was quite a long time ago, so I basically had to relearn most of it. It was an interesting experience and I definitely learned a lot.
