This is a Pacman variant which really does have enough new features to give the whole idea interest once more.

You control the Ladybug, who is hungrily eating all in sight before being pursued by the enemy bugs intent on eating her.

Her only defences are revolving turnstiles, which only she can move through.

These can be used in two ways: to close off a route which would allow the enemy to eat her and to trap an enemy into a closed section of the maze.

Besides the usual dots to eat, there are hearts and letters, all of which mean bonus points or lives. But you have to survive for a long time to get to such delights.

Control is fairly good, but I did find it difficult to change direction on occasions.

Because you can't eat the enemies, you must use all your stealth and cunning, clever use of the turnstiles being imperative.

It is very easy to become hooked on this game, which should appeal to a wide range of ages and skills.
