Contains Flash, noise, and an ugly as fuck website. Um, I think I liked last week's snooker link better.

Hrmm... that was insanely less fun than I thought it would be.

Could someone tell me exactly what Pac Man physics are? Where does someone learn this science?

I'm trying to figure out if a worse control scheme is possible.

'Pac-Man physics', I'm guessing, means that things go off one side of the screen and come back on the other. A better name would be 'Asteroids physics', or 'screen wrap' or 'the play-field is a torus displayed in two dimensions'.

This is. Um. Next?

My sincere apologies. Sorry for the trouble.

Once again proving that my opinion on Flash games is always totally out of sync with everyone else, I liked this one.

Ebaumsworld: meh. Yes they're evil for stealing peoples's Flash without permission, but I for one can't see which of the sites the original is on.

Original author: lostvectors.com

It does say it on the flash -- just after eBaum's own hacked-on credit...
Several other dodgy flash games there too, including moonmaster some kind of wierd moon-lander/defender-clone

p.s. I was going to link to the original, but it seemed to run better on ebaums. *goes back to hiding under rock*

What the fuck? Come on, man, why are you encouraging theft for profit?

I'm sorry.

I honestly didn't mean to encourage anything Optimus Chyme. I guess I'm not as internet-aware as I should be. I figured since it credited the original website with a logo and link it was alright. I didn't realize it was stolen outright.

Again, I didn't mean any harm, but apparently I've angered some people.
Delete this, please.

No, look, I didn't mean to be a dick. I just hate ebaumsworld with the fire of a trillion suns. :)

i liked it OK too. I played it a while. Thanks for the original link (though like's been said, it was in the file).

"I hear the Empire is hiring non-clone storm troopers. Maybe you should apply." Heh.
