Ladybug (Colecovision)

Postby Herschie » September 19th, 2016, 5:58 pm

This game feels a lot like Pac-Man, but different in a couple ways. I like how you can turn parts of the wall to prevent enemies from chasing after you. You can collect what appears to be extra-points, but I don't think that there are any power-ups. Overall, I like Pac-Man better, but Ladybug isn't a bad game.

Ladybug is great, a game that shows that even a clone can be a classic in its own right. It's of course very similar to Pac-Man, but it does enough different things to keep it from being a complete rip-off. I like how the scoring is more complex, and how the game forces you to use your head. It is sort of a thinking man's Pac-Man.

I guess the only power up of sorts in the game is the vegetable that appears in the middle of the screen when all four insects leave their lair. When you grab it, it freezes the enemies for a few seconds.
