Incredibly fun sprite work and great music, up there with Championship Edition in terms of the best versions of Pac-Man to play. My only complaint is that by world 3 or 4 things get hectic in a way that I find a lot more difficult to handle than normal Pac-Man. The mechanic of ghosts transforming into more complex, harder enemies is neat, but eventually, there's so much going on on-screen that you can't find time to stop any of them from transforming. Once I was regularly dealing with 4 powered-up ghosts and no power pellets left, I just spammed the credits button to get through the game, and death becoming trivial to me like that isn't very fun, but maybe I just need to get better. Out of all the games on Pac-Man Arcade+, this and Championship Edition are probably the biggest highlights.
