Story
A dangerous drug epidemic has hit the streets, and its bringing out the worst in everyone. A mysterious substance is making people violent, strong, and.... purple? The worse part is that it made its way into a school! If only the authorities could find the origin source, but there is only one thing we can do. We need to catch the criminals in the act, and time is of the essence. We need to begin the STING OPERATION! No time for planning! We gotta improvise fast! In this retro style game inspired by Pacman, you are NOT collecting the pellets. You're stopping the bad guy from nabbing them all! That's right, the roles are reversed, and it is a real time strategy arcade game! You are commanding a squad of officers in a diverse set of environments, from the Sewer Complex to the Brutal Desert, trying to trap and pinch criminals at the right spot. Whatever you do, don't let them grab the power pellets, or they will make short work of your officers! Catch every bad guy in each stage, but watch out for the boss! He is faster, more nimble, and even fights back. He won't go down easy, but if you think ahead, you can catch him! Real-Time Strategy Gameplay: Plan your moves,...
