Really cool idle game. The infinite button was really cool, I really spammed it to increase my pac mans power to the top x) However the game stopped abruptly with an error unfortunately. I didn't manage to use the sniper towers, they were not shooting.

But more than anything else really addictive and cool :)

Submitted

Nice game! Unfortunatelly it lacks the audio part :(

Submitted

An ingenious way to make a clicker! Great work!

Submitted

Very fresh take on the cookie clicker genre, i am genuinely impressed! Congrats :)

To me the 2 negative points you could improve upon are the balancing (clicking felt OP to me, i could ramp up the numbers very fast) and the audio :) And you can build a ton of features on this basis too, it's very open to new mechanics! I can only imagine being able to theorycraft builds of things interacting with each other, would be super cool :D

A very unique twist to the Pac-man franchise, you can't go much more cliché than Pac all over the place. Missed the wakka wakka sound for a full experience, but any sound would have been nice. My pac-men became so powerful that they teleport from dot to dot, haha. Except when there are few dots that they keep still and I have to pick the dots for them. You lazy powerful army of pacmen...

A funny experience anyway, congrats on a great game!

Great idea and gameplay, that was really innovative! Is it just me, or is Pac-man a cliché by itself?

Submitted

Cool idea that's unique and fun! I would love to see this game expanded in some ways.  I wasn't really sure how the sniper tower worked, placement seemed a bit wonky and I wasn't sure how to make them work. Cool ideas overall though it was fun to watch all the Pacs run around. I didn't really see the point in stunting the ghosts, as it would only delay them attacking, so I just ignored them.

Submitted

thanks for the game! that's a great idea and I had a lot of fun playing it!

Submitted

What a clever idea. Nice game!

Submitted

Awesome very great game.
I got to the level where pacman moved instantly, and eat dots in no time and The game crashed at level 20.
Very fun and highly addictive game.

Submitted

Funny, but one of the levels is just a black screen. does it look like this victory? also I did not understand how the tower works =) But overall I liked it)

Got it to a point where my pacmans were just sweeping levels in a second, and then the game crashed, haha! :D 

I'm very easily addicted to idle-games, so this one I liked, but it sadly feels a bit unfinished. The lack of sound as an example. Also, I have no idea what the sniper towers where supposed to do? :o

But you have a nice frame here that you could extend and polish! Good submission! ^^

Submitted

Pretty solid game! I liked your interpretation of the theme. Great job!

Submitted

I didn't quite understand how the sniper towers were supposed to work. Otherwise, give it some child audio and it'll be a fun pastime.

Submitted

The lack of sound makes the game feel bland.The rest is pretty solid. This could really turn into a full game if you keep working on it.

Really interesting idea.

But it feels like active clicking always outperforms idleing to the point where its meaningless. When my pacmans finally become super fast everything cost too much to get it from being idle. Maybe add points mulitplier upgrade for when pac-man eats a dot?

Also they don't seem to know how to navitage to the last few dots so I still had to finish each round by clicking

Submitted

Fun game! Loved upgrading so that my pac army was basically teleporting around and getting me tons of money.

Submitted

Never thought of these two genres together, it makes for a fun combination!

Submitted

What an odd concept to come up with, but plays really well

Submitted

Oh wow, this is an ingenious idea! I really lost myself in this game :) The only criticism is that it feels like the ghosts aren't really enough of an enemy as I could just buy new ones :D
