Boxman is a third person arcade game that is a re-imagined, 3D version of the old classic pac-man. It is essentially our attempt of making packman 3D.
The player controls Boxman through a maze eating pac-dots (also called pellets or just dots). When all coin boxes are eaten, the exit crystal appears in the middle of the level Boxman is taken to the next stage. Between some stages Four enemies roam the maze, trying to catch Boxman. If an enemy touches Pac-Man, a life is lost and the Pac-Man itself withers and dies. When all lives have been lost, the game ends. Aesthetically the game has a minimalistic style with every aspect of the world is constructed by squares and rectangular objects. Carefuly chosen colors provide a bright and colorful and yet not intrusive theme. |
Currently there are 15 distinct levels available that each one can be unlocked through a successful completion of the previews level. Every new level is a bit harder than the previews one. Later on elements like ghost walls came in to play to increase the difficulty and introduce the player to the opportunity for the player to come up with new strategies to complete levels.
