Ghosts(👻) moved in roughly the same manner and would delete any Pac Men they ran into. And as in the original game, ghosts turned blue(🥶) whenever a Pac Man eats a power pellet.

There was no specialized ending screen for this game and the level would simply reset upon completion. Due to the random movement of the characters, there was not a single instance where the Pac Men were able to devour all the dots within the level.

At one point there was a feature where the Pac Men would duplicate whenever they ate a cherry(🍒). Users soon found a way to exploit this by pasting large amounts of cherries onto the level, generating an ungodly swarm of hungry Pac Men which could then be unleashed onto the rest of the Mainpage. Logically, it wasn't long before Mr. Black disabled this feature, worrying that having large numbers of Pac Men running at once would strain the OWOT server.

After a while Mr. Black started to experiment with having a surfer(🏄) float along the water's surface, bouncing up and down with the fluid's movement. Initially the surfer would move left and right in a fixed pattern, but by September 25th it was able to dynamically move around the Center Console.

On at least a few occasions the surfer would be catapulted above the Console, at which point it would leave behind a trail of afterimages as the script did not delete characters past a certain range.

Mr. Black would use a number of other emojis in place of the surfer, such as a duck(🦆), a whale(🐳) and a boat(🛥️).

The water simulator, which eventually received the name ''Mr Black's WaterPark'', was enjoyed fondly by the OWOT community. One user even made a music video by syncing the water's movement to Brazilian Phonk.

=== Clock ===
 
A clock script that sporadically appeared on both OWOT and YWOT throughout January 21st, 2026. It was most likely created by Mr. Black since he returned to OWOT on that same day.
 
The script ran smoothly on YWOT but suffered from repeated glitches on OWOT, where it was only able to run for a few minutes at a time before destabilizing.
 
Banksy created his own clock script and deployed it alongside Mr. Black's. This was his first time interacting with the user who inspired him to make animated scripts.
 
On both OWOT and YWOT there were many jokes substituting "cock" for "clock."<gallery widths="210" heights="210" mode="packed">
