Total and utter cack, man

Game: pacman&level. Publisher: jacklrb. Price: Free. Download (if you dare)
There are brazen, awful incompetent clones on the App Store. There are rip-offs and garbage aplenty. And then there is pacman&level, one of the most astonishingly dreadful Pac-Man games in existence—one that makes versions for the Atari 2600 and VIC-20 look like shining examples of great videogame programming.
We're just guessing here, but this might be the kind of 'amateur hour' bullshit Steve Jobs claims App Store reviews are supposed to guard against.
So you’re thinking “just how bad is this game”? I could tell you about the character-based movement, the appalling controls and the botched samples from the original Pac-Man. Instead, I’ll post the following:
"Arf?"
This is my dog. I’m pretty sure he could churn out a better Pac-Man game than pacman&level—and he doesn’t even like Pac-Man. (He’s more of a Mario fan.)
