General Commentary and Game Overview
A game clearly inspired by Pac-Man without being a pathetic clone, in which you collect all coins to clear the level, collect lighning bolts to power your vaccuum, and collect Mario Kart-style Item Boxes to get various items. It is very fun until you get too good at it, at which point it becomes easy and boring.
 
Pros -fun gameplay
-Excellent presentation
*title screen
*good graphics
*custom highscore table
-No glitches
 
Cons -Only one level layout, making the game repetive.
-Items are a mixed bag: some are useless, others so powerful that their existence makes the game too easy.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
The gameplay is fun until you get tired of it, and the engine does its job without glitching up in a major way, though the collision is sometimes a LITTLE off.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
Really good, detailed graphics that get the Luigi's Mansion theme right. Nice particle effects on the vaccuum and the Starman, and the darkened edges of the screen and the room lighting up when you've cleared it is really a nice touch.
 
Sound
9 / 10
The sound really gets the Luigi's Mansion theme right. Excellent job there.
 
Replay
7 / 10
My first impression was that the replay value would be extremely good, and this would be join my list of favorie highscore minigames that I would never completely stop playing, like "SMW: Goomba Trouble", "Shell Shocked: Fuzzies Stole my Shell!", "V-Ware" or "Rainbow Road". like However, once I memorized the level layout, for unfortunately there is only one, it became far too easy, the game dragged on too long, and I felt like I was wasting my time. I finally killed myself at level 30, and will not likely be playing again.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
A game worth trying. It feels at first like you will play it for a long time, but becomes too easy once you get good at it.

Is my 8 really the lowest review this game has had? Well, it does seem astoundingly good at first, but even if there are no 7-or-lesses I would still expect 8's besides me.
