Excuses

[1]: picking a pac-dot in order to save 384 frames in 2-5
[2]: picking a pac-dot in order to save 399 frames in 5-7
[3]: lag

New tricks

  • Big water jump: if you jump 1 frame after going out of water by walking, your starting jumping speed will be increased by the amount of vertical pixels.
  • Door teleport: touch a door with enough speed and the right positioning. This will bypass the push-out physics, so on the next frame the game will place Pac-Man on top of the wall. Only works on the switch doors (solid doors ), and not with the fruit doors (window doors)
  • Walk under water: throw a pac-dot while you're falling in water. If you're still in the throwing animation when you reach the floor, then you will get a 1 frame window to perform as many Rev Rolls as you want.
