Geometry Dash is a rhythm-based platformer game developed and published by Robtop Games. It was released for $1.99 USD on August 13, 2013 for iOS and Android, and for $3.99 USD on December 22, 2014 for Steam. A lite version of the game is available on mobile devices with fewer features, as well as free expansion, Geometry Dash Meltdown, Geometry Dash World and Geometry Dash SubZero, which include exclusive levels.
The player takes the form of different entities with unique mechanics such as a cube, a ball or a UFO. Using one-touch gameplay, the player must try to navigate through a series of interactive obstacles, movement-shifting transporters and behaviour-manipulating portals to reach the end of levels without crashing, all while listening to exciting soundtracks along the way.
The "Sky Striker" cards are made to look like suits of powered armor (in the case of the "Sky Striker Ace" Link Monsters), or various gadgets equipped to/built-in abilities of said armor, as with the Normal and Quick-Play Spells within the archetype. The Japanese name of this archetype is taken from the Japanese name of "Sky Striker Ace" monsters, which is a pun. It literally means "Flash Katana Lady", but it is based on the homophonous word for "fighter aircraft". Apart from the "Sky Striker Aces", many members also have their names inspired by a Japanese word that has "ki" as part of its pronunciation. All Sky Striker Spells, with the exception of the Continuous Multirole and Field Area Zero, cannot be activated while you control a Monster in the Main Monster Zones and gain extra effects while you have 3 or more Spell cards in your Graveyard (GY).
Pac-Man is a Maze arcade game developed and released by Namco in 1980. Originally known in Japan as Puck Man, it would be changed to Pac-Man for international releases. Outside Japan, the game was published by Midway Games, part of their licensing agreement with Namco America. The player controls the titularcharacter, as he must eat all the dots inside an enclosed maze while avoiding four colored ghosts. Eating large flashing "Power Pellets" will cause the ghosts to turn blue and reverse direction, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points. It was the first game to run on the NamcoPac-Man arcade board.
Development of the game began in April 1979, directed by Toru Iwatani with a nine-man team. As his second video game for Namco, Iwatani wanted to create a game that could appeal to women as well as men, as most video games during that time period were "war games" or simple sports titles. While several sources claim the inspiration for the game was taken from a pizza with a slice removed, Iwatani has since stated that inspiration was also from rounding out the Japanese symbol "kuchi", meaning "mouth". The in-game characters were made to be cute and colourful, and to appeal to younger players. The original Japanese title of Puck Man was derived from the titular character's hockey puck shape.
