Detailed Review

=========================

[ + + + + - ] :: ENJOYMENT

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

Submitted(+1)

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!

Submitted(+1)

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

its game ready for release, i guess, one of my favorite right now, great!

This game seems really polished and just perfectly executed, I love how stressful it gets when PagMan gets to eat a diamond. Great music too!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game! Enjoyed it a lot, it feels very polished and just simply good to play. The only issue I have though is that some levels, especially the later ones, feel very prone to randomness. My failure would largely depend on where the PagMan would spawn, and that felt a bit weird because otherwise you can control a lot of enemy behaviours with how you move. This problem obviously isn't really anything big. Congrats on a good entry!

Enjoyed playing it, the game feels on point. Great execution and love the sound effects!

Submitted(+1)

Great game, absolutely terrifying when Pagman roids up!

Submitted(+1)

Fun Game! Letting the monster kill you sometimes is the better option to stop him from getting more coins! loved the chasing music too

Submitted(+1)

Once I figured out the mechanics this was one of the funnest (and funniest) games I've played this year! The level design and mechanics lead to excellent moments. I love this!

This is a pretty cool twist on Pacman, nice work.

Sorry It should be fixed now.
The previuos game file was actually smaller (905kb) than the current one (7mb) since I converted a .wav audio file to .ogg, but the game zip file got corrupted somehow.
