Jaman
Written by [Pham Hong Nguyen]

What is Jaman? Jaman is a Java applet game based on the game PCMAN (or PACMAN, written by Greg Kuperberg, 1982). Even though the scenario of the game was simple, it was a board game full excitement and fun. This version brings the same excite with a few twists.

How to play JAMAN. Use a mouse to select a map, the number of Jaman and a new game, to pause, hide the game and turn on/off sound. Use the keyboard's left, right, up, down keys to control Jaman. You should run Jaman away from devils for his life. In a normal case, devils cannot turn back unless they go to a dead end path or when Jaman is eating a magic orange. When eating a gold nut, Jaman slows down. Devils slow down on any turn or run in some slow path. After eating a magic orange, Jaman can beat any devils whose color is changed. Every time Jaman eats devils, the score he gets will increase exponentially (200, 400, 800, 1600 points). Try to eat all devils each time. You will have one more Jaman every 10000 points.
