    Help Hannah's Horse

    Help Hannah's Horse

    It's Pacman with ghosts, music and powerups. And carrots.

    Remember the 1990's home micro game Fast Food starring Dizzy? No? Well this is a bit like if that game and Pacman had a baby. Navigate the mazes collecting the coins, powerpills and moving food while avoiding the ghosts and making use of the power ups. The action is fast and frantic and the animations are cute and colourful. This is a free and open source game released under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence version 3.0.
