Great design and concept on making it a RTS like game! Nice work!
Cool idea. Well done!
Fun idea! So, this is what the ghosts feel like haha! I enjoyed the reversed roles on this old classic.
The long awaited pac-man rts is finally here!
Fun game, nice job
Nice game! Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to really spawncamp pacman but I did sit on his powerups and that was pretty fun.
Nice game. I came up with the same basic idea but you version is way more thoughtful and polished. Good job
Nice idea. I think Pacman should randomly spawn in a different place
Sorry to hear you are leaving.
I played the game and I was facinated how you gave it a completly new twist. Your PacMan was more like a strategy game like chess. Well done!
Btw: you made it to my list

Me too. :/
Thank you ! <3
I was expecting anti pacman game , but not expecting this good presentation, Liked the game
This may not be the most original idea in the jam but it's executed so well that it doesn't matter! It was super fun coming up with plans on how to corner pacman and prevent it from getting it from getting the
drugspowerups, and everything felt like it belongs in the original game!I absolutely love it! such a creative idea. My only problem is that it is really hard to select a ghost, so most of the time, I accidentally get one ghost to go to the one I was selecting. and if you get your ghost to surround pac-man's spawning area, you basically just won the whole game. Despite these flaws, it is a really: good, fun, and creative game! (:
Thank you ! Much appreciated !
If you right click before you attempt to select the other ghost you deselect the current ghost and the situation you described is solved :)
You're welcome! I was thinking that if you continue this game after the jam you could make each level or world a different game's enemy: like the Koopas and Goombas in a mario level, the enemy ships in Galaga, or the cars from Frogger. I think each of these games could work very well in the strategy style your going for. If you do you can bet I'll be following to progress of the game!
Good idea, excellent execution. It is really hard to coordinate all your ghosts at the speed the game goes so if you're going to work on this after the jam I think having an option to make a ghost follow pac-man by clicking him would be good and maybe just slow the whole game down a bit so there's more time to think. Other than that this game is perfect and very fun.
There's a pause button in the top left corner you can use to stop time and think. I didn't use it but it would be useful to anyone that's not me. cause my strat was to just click a ghost and click at pac-man.
Don't worry I also used the pause a ton xD
Great gameplay is the best thing about this game and I'm not a fan of strategy games, so that says something!
It's just a shame the ghosts don't reset after every kill, because after I got Pac-Man once, I camped him and he couldn't do anything about it, winning me the game pretty much instantly. 240 pellets is how many I was able to save doing this unintentional strat.
you weren't wrong 🤷♂️
Right? xD
To not repeat what is said below, the Idea is brilliant, to remake such a classic, and the execution is flawless with perfect balance and solid controls, excellent work!
I appreciate the kind words ! Thank you !
Probably the best game I've played yet!
Its fun, creative and overall very well made
If I had to criticize would be there are some bugs and the controls are somewhat weird, but those are VERY minor issues
Thank you !
That's an amazing idea, very nice :)
I actually had this same idea, but was deterred from making it because i couldn't pull it off. You exected this perfectly and made a fun, strategic game! :)
That was a a really creative idea. The usage of the theme is really cunning in your game. The graphics were pretty great. Although one thing which I would recommend you to do is make the enemies move around constantly because when I just put the enemies in one of the corners and camp it, pacman eats the rest of the pellets and in the end gets killed. Other than that, it was a pretty solid game
Very fun and harder than I expected. I found out that you can just place one ghost at the spot where Pac-Man respawns and kill it immediately. Perhaps you could give it a few seconds of invincibility after respawn. Overall, the idea is very well-executed.
Thank you!
Great idea.
Another 'bug', if you want to go exploit hunting xD, is that if you place your ghosts on top of the last pellets in the game pac-man no longer knows where to go and just stops.
I unfortunately didn't catch these in time :P
