Cool Concept, and great looking game and gameplay. Good Job!!
I need to say you really get the idea of the reversed Pac Man - a chase-and-run game. Your design fits the idea well! I also like the level design you did. There is a great potential for further extension! :)
Cute idea and well executed, wish I was able to control multiple guys at the same time with one or two buttons each to try to trap the piggy :3
I really liked this game. Im a fan of pac man and this was a really good take on it. Sometimes I was getting spawn killed but managed to finish the game. Controls were fine just took a bit of getting used to. Cool game
Nice game. The AI could be a bit better.
Very nice idea
For me the controlls kinda killed it though - I got stuck on almost every corner - maybe you can use round hitboxes for the player - also the monster is a spawn killer
Thanks for playing! Yeah I think I got used to the controls so much I never thought the square collision shapes would be an issue. I should probably keep that in mind when doing more topdown stuff with tight corners since other people complained about that as well.
Thats why letting other people test your game is important - we are all here to learn. I had stuff in my other jams I was like "that is obvious" and a lot of testers said "I didn't know how to do that"...
Be sure to check out my game too!
A very nice game with some REALLY clean art! good use of the theme, and a good flow and level design. GJ!
Really neat concept and very fun to play. The game feels pretty polished as well. Would be nice to have some indicator of how much power-up time is left. Otherwise, very enjoyable, good job :)
Very well-executed with a fun presentation. Minor note - the "hero" can trap you in the center when they're on the warpath for a while, but overall, a solid and clear take on the theme. Well done :)
Nice Game! I ike the theme and the grafics a lot. Also that there are different levels is very cool. The only thing i would improve is what I would improve also in my own game and that is grid movement. So I can't blame you here.
Btw, I added your game to my list which yoh probably found in the comment section of the rating page of my own submission.
Pacman forever!

Really liked it! I felt like I was genuinely making progress even after each death. I was especially happy that I was able to make it through all of the levels without too much trouble.
[ + + + + +] :: CREATIVITY
It's one thing to create a reverse Pac-Man clone; it's another thing entirely to make it your own thing. A pig monster vs a warrior? That's the sort of Mario-Bros level shroom sh!% I'm here for!
[ + + + + - ] :: PRESENTATION
I think I'm disappointed in myself for being so hard on so many other games, and giving you 4 and 5 stars in every category; but you deserve it! I especially loved the sound effects when dying.. who knew that death could be so fun?
Confirming my reviews. Left yours as-is. Remember when I said I've been hard on other reviews? Well.. I'm repenting XD
Your game needs more depth and polish to be 5-stars in every category, but it is truly a solid entry! Giving you a follow to see what comes next :)
This is very fun, also very polished, the vfx and sfx are on point, awesome game!
Very well polished game! I agree with advices on getting the corners smoother that could ease the player change of directions. Also it could be frustrating getting killed multiple times in a row without any chance to survive because you spawn enclosed around walls very close to the PagMan.
But overall this is a great game and I had fun. Thanks for your work!
Enjoyed this game a lot, I really liked that at first I found the best strategy and then the next levels forced me to forget about it :D. Especially enjoyed the tricky timing on the last level!
Hillarious game. Loved the music and art a lot.
Very funny game and mechanics, the movement seems a little bit rough but was enough to make the game good
Nice game, and cool take on the theme. The collisions when rounding corners could be a bit smoother (it's kinda hard to get into a corridor while keeping your speed), but other than that it's really good!
Woah that last level was a great twist, with your progress on the first squishes affecting how far you had to go on the last one -- Very well designed! It's really fun too - the back and forth of attacking/defending is well balanced, that defending was a real challenge and not just a waiting game, stirred on by really good intense music. Well done!
I instinctively started running away from the pagman at the start, but then i remembered, the roles are reversed! Pretty fun to chase him down and there is a little bit of offense/defense strategy going on based on the design of each level. Really fun!
This game is really funny.
Great job
