## Editor's Review:

PAC-MAN is a very fun but not overly complicated casual game that is extremely addictive. Once you start playing it, you will become completely engrossed and want to play one level after another. When playing this simple game, you will discover that a great game does not require complicated rules; all it needs is a 30-second golden cycle that can make your fingers tremble and your heart race. There are no health bars, no skill trees, and even no story. You are just a yellow sphere with an open mouth, and your task is simply to eat all the beans in the maze. But when you press the start button, you will find that beneath this simple framework lies an addictive and sophisticated design: the four ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde) each have their unique tracking logic, performing like a carefully choreographed death ballet. Blinky chases relentlessly, Pinky will have this amazing ability of trapping you, Inky sneaks in with a sinister ambush, and Clyde is sometimes rash and sometimes timid. Their movement patterns may seem random at first, but in fact, they are full of underlying patterns. Through repeated failures, you will gradually figure out their distinct "characters" and eventually transform from prey into hunter. What is even more amazing is the energy bean mechanism: eating the flashing beans at the four corners of the maze temporarily empowers you to kill the ghosts. This moment of power reversal is arguably the most primitive pleasure, just when you were fleeing in embarrassment, you suddenly turn around to chase your former enemies. Together with the classic "Woohoo Woohoo" sound effect, the sense of achievement instantly explodes. This "fear–counterattack" cycle is like an addiction, making you unable to stop. The level design of PAC-MAN demonstrates textbook-level psychological manipulation. Each level's maze layout remains exactly the same, but the speed of the ghosts gradually increases with each successive level, forcing you to continually push your limits within the familiar map. This "evolution through repetition" mechanism perfectly triggers the human desire for immediate feedback. You always think to yourself, "I can be faster in the next level," and before you realize it, you look up and discover that it is already three o'clock in the morning. The game does not even have a conventional concept of "end": after 255 levels, the code overflows, causing the screen to display garbled characters, a phenomenon famously known as the "kill screen." Yet, you will still desperately want to challenge this so-called "impossible level" just to earn 10 more points before the game crashes. As paradoxical as it sounds, you will find yourself enjoying this artful form of self-mutilation frenzy. The true charm of this game lies in its ability to create infinite possibilities using extremely simple rules. The rules can be learned within five minutes, but true mastery requires a lifetime of dedication. While playing this timeless classic, you will suddenly realize that the essence of a good game is not about technological prowess, but rather about the precise understanding and exploitation of human weaknesses. This game functions like a 99 percent pure happiness capsule: its fast-paced 15-second game sessions, the thrilling tension of life or death, and the lingering regret of "missing out on perfection" all combine to make you grit your teeth and become unable to stop playing. If you have not tried it yet, you should open your phone and start enjoying it right now. However, you should be cautious, because its addictive nature might cause you to miss dinner, appointments, and even the next morning's important meeting. The challenge of each level may only last for a few dozen seconds, and failure is a common occurrence. But strangely enough, such setbacks never discourage you. Instead, each rebirth seems like a chance to be reborn, and you start trying out all kinds of wild moves: making a sharp turn at the third intersection, deliberately diverting the red ghost when the energy bean refreshes, or using the portal to disrupt the pursuer's rhythm. Slowly, you transform from a mechanical fugitive to a strategy master within the maze. In this maze made up of simple pixels, you discover a rare sense of control that is often missing in the real world. Perhaps on ordinary days, your thoughts tend to wander uncontrollably and your attention resembles a kite with a broken string, making it hard to focus. But here, in the very moment that little yellow elf moves, your mind becomes focused like a laser beam. The whole world seems reduced to just you and the four relentless ghosts; every button press becomes a precise decision, and every turn signifies a life-and-death choice. When you finally break through the level that has been bothering you for a long time, the sense of achievement strikes with great intensity. It was never a lucky win, but rather the result of countless failures and persistent effort. Your fingers still remember every key move, and your brain has mapped out the optimal path. The pleasure that comes from pure skill is hundreds of times stronger than the vague progress experienced in reality. The score numbers on the screen may seem insignificant, yet they bear witness to your complete transformation from clumsiness to mastery. This immediate and clear feedback on growth is precisely what makes this simple game so engaging. This classic game elevates simple and mechanical movements into an almost artistic behavioral pattern. The subtle connection established between your fingers and the keys creates a unique mental state as you control the ever-wide-mouthed yellow circular elf. When you first encounter it, you might think it is just about getting the character to eat a few glowing dots. However, as the game progresses, this seemingly monotonous act of eating beans gradually reveals its subtlety. The dots are carefully calculated to be neither too close, which would make it boring, nor too far, which would make it out of rhythm. Your fingers start to move freely on the control panel, as if they have developed a tacit understanding with the game. The magic that comes from this simple repetition keeps your eyes glued to the screen. What is particularly fascinating is the state of flow that the game creates. When you eat a string of light spots in a row, perfectly avoiding the wandering ghosts, that seamless smoothness makes you forget the passage of time. The experience is like finding the best pace while running or entering a state of self-forgetfulness while playing an instrument. This elevates simple repetition into a state of pleasure and unity of body and mind. The game designer has refined the most basic "move and gather" mechanism to perfection by precisely controlling every element, including the number and distribution of light spots, the movement patterns of ghosts, and the layout of mazes. In real life, you may have difficulty concentrating for long periods, but as you pass through this maze, you forget the deadlines and lingering thoughts. You become completely absorbed in the game, and it is a wonderful feeling. You will fall in love with that feeling, and then with the game itself. Maybe in real life, it is really hard for you to find a game that is so simple but so fun, like Pac-Man. In the meantime, this game will take away all your worries, and will not take you too much time to complete a round. Besides, playing this game will always give you a feeling of familiarity. It feels like you are eating familiar food or smelling something fragrant that you like. So you will always find some comfort and excitement at the same time while you are devouring all the colorful dots. Immersing in this game will give you a totally different identity. You will feel like you are a warrior, but you will not be a warrior of physical force. Actually, you will be a warrior with mental and spiritual resilience; you will not be easily defeated by the ghosts, and you will not be easily intimidated by the challenges. Unpredictable things may happen in this maze just as those unpredictable things that happen in your real life. So if you can be fully prepared in this world, you can also be fully prepared in this maze. It is not simply about unlocking all the levels and conquering all the goals. It is more about challenging your own mind to be more flexible and to think out of the box. You will find a sense of satisfaction that will spread to other parts of your life. Every time you successfully conquer a new level, especially a very challenging level, you will feel so great. It seems that luck also plays a role in your final victory. But if you really observe and feel the different situations, you will eventually realize that the final winning has nothing to do with luck. It is all about your flexibility and strategies to conquer the obstacles to devour the colorful dots. And it is also about your instinct to successfully dodge all the obstacles before they even appear in front of your eyes. This is just like having the intuition to avoid pitfalls in your real life. So you will always go forward by following the straight line. You will not be pushed back and forth, and you will not turn at the wrong corners. You will get to the final destination and find the exit directly and you will have a better feeling of conquering all the levels. If you can instill such a kind of wisdom and use it in your real life, you will find that life can be so amazing. This capability of keeping calm and sensing the dangers and traps before they even come into reality in your real life is fantastic! So it is time for you to have this adventure with the cute Pac-Man and have the ultimate delight!
