When I saw the theme, I had no idea what to do. I saw the picture of pong on the tweet and thought of retro games. Started with snake and made it more and more complicated.

Instructions in game.

IF YOU HAVE ANY ERRORS, JUST USE DOWNLOAD VERSION. Caps so people notice.

Note: For people with security issues, on Java 8, applets are messed up. You will have to add https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com to your exception list (Found in the java config section) to get the applet to work.

I had alot of fun playing this, really cool mechanic with th pacman and the snake, i think you should develop that mechanic more, and make up some of your own characters

I couldn't run it using Jar Launcher 14.9.0 on Mac (Mavericks). The music started but the screen was blank. I also tried running it from the command line with "java -jar" (java version 1.7.0_25), but I got the same result, as well as this stack trace:

Graphics could be a tad better, but it's fun and quite hard at times.

Really crazy and difficult mashup. The music is too loud though.

Lovely programmer art, the "M" sure is for Masterpiece. (No offense :D) (If you don't get it, read the new LD FAQ)

@elemel I am not sure what happened. I have only tried this on Windows. This error has appeared for me before though when I had a ton of stuff open.

Wow, development must have escalated quickly :D I like the mashup but right now it's a bit hard; it's easy to get stuck in a group of enemies with no way out (that I can see.) Very ambitious project, I'd like to see it continued!

Haha, awesome idea. Love it!

The instructions o_O they were comical! The clashing information was really confusing at first, but it was pretty fun once I actually understood what to do. Sick graphics! Also, tune down the music!

The web player gets blocked for me, and the download link gives an internal server error. =(

@Zi weird... Have you tried adding the exception for the java applet?

As others said, fun but hard game. Graphics are not "originals", but it works like that! I did a couple of tries, thanks for the experience :)

Really awesome idea! The graphics could be a bit better :D and the music was too loud, but the overall experience was amazing. You should really expand on this idea and make it a nice full game. 5 stars :)
