Please help me name this game :)

I can't seem to remember the title, but here's what i remember

 

- I think it's a pac-man clone?

- It had a colorful title screen with 'up-n-down' jumping main characters and a maze on it i think.

- They moved to the music up-n-down, it was a very catchy tune, the jumping characters may be on a row on top of the screen?

- As a kid i was amazed at this game, it was very colorful and had (in my experience) very good multichannel music

- Might have been a PD title, or magazine release game. Maybe rabbits and carrots? 

 

It came to me on a tape, from a colleague of my mother, who did the 64K upgrade to my 600XL to show off the machine/upgrade.

He was very active with computers so that's why i think it may have been a PD title, i'm not sure.

 

Does it ring any bells for anyone?

Although it is not PD, it could be Jumpman.

It might be a long shot, but it sounds like you`re talking about Flip & Flop.

Sorry, i checked both, and it's not one of those.

You might try looking through Antic, Analog, Compute! magazines on archive.org. You can skim through the pages without downloading the issues.

I think I know the game you mean but I can't think of the name of it.  Did the maze have green walls instead of blue and was there a candy theme to the game.  Sorry my old brain is blowing it on the name.

Jawbreaker is a candy-themed pacman clone. It had the same maze layout and I think they pulled it after pressure and released the horizontal "maze" format version. A toothbrush would come out and clean your teeth every time you cleared a level.

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of.  Any help for our topic starter?

I little more detail might help... when you say character jumping up and down to the music at the top of the screen- are these text characters or cartoon characters? Do they stay at the top of the screen? or is that just a starting place for them?

Interesting.  I have this vague memory of seeing Pac-man on the 8-bit on display somewhere, except it had green mazes instead of blue.   I wonder if I saw this game instead?
