Thank you to everyone for your reviews.  This is (probably) one of the most positive and encouraging jams I have ever participated in and each of you contributed to that!  :)

Really good, feels like this could be in arcade. Was a bit too easy with just one enemy. Amazing work!!

Developer

I totally agree with the easy bit, but at the same time it helps acclimate you to the gameplay without becoming overwhelmed.  The previous fire-themed game (which is why I used this character) had a similar set of circumstances:  Started with no obstacles or anything that could harm the player (aside from the room temperature) then gradually add in obstacles and difficulty to make it more challenging.

Long time I hadn't play pacman, you capture the original arcade feeling of it very well! 👍

Such a cool remix of pacman. The fire blocking paths made it challenging. Good job 👍

Fun and solid gameplay! I like the fire and extinguisher dynamic you added to the formula.

Such a clever twist on the pacman formula! It really changes the whole way you approach the game and navigating the paths. Love the sounds of picking up the treasures! Great work as always!

Developer

Thank you for the Youtube link.  I have added it to the game's page.

Very nice.

As always excellent work dude. Swapping out the core gameplay loop of Pacman, picking up pellets and power pellets, for the fire extinguisher mechanic is incredible. This is genuinely fun, and I’d pay for it honestly.

I think Hot Treasures could sell as well as Donut Dodo (from pixel games SARL-S) with a little extra modern polish, maybe particle effects and more sounds. Again, good job Kuro. This game is awesome.

Unfortunately, being a dedicated web browser game makes that a bit more difficult to pull off.  I would need to build this in a different language and come with a way to export the sounds to pull it off.
