Fun little game, I liked the intro sequence too. I did win within the first 2 seconds the first round I played which was interesting.
This was a very clever take on the theme :). I loved the whole cutscene intro, very nicely put together - did not expect it :). Forcing Pac-man into ghosts by dodging around corners was very entertaining.
Gave me a good laugh this one
super cool twist! Great job (:
thanks!
This is great - that cutscene is hilarious, and the gameplay feel is smooth to back it up. A wider camera would've helped with the game though, I feel - since the restricted view kinda fights against the player. But otherwise, solid, fun game!
Thanks for playing, and the recommendation!
Neat idea. I loved the presentation of the game. The intro cutscene had a nice 90s early computer charm.
The gameplay is really short, yet sweet. I think it would've benefitted from changing the gameplay from moving as the last pellet, but instead having an overview of the whole map and controlling where the ghosts turn to stop pacman from getting to you.
Overall though, it was really cool to play. Nice work!
Thanks for playing! I like your idea, too. I think it would make a nice strategy game!
super cool but wish it lasted longer. love the idea though
Thank you for playing!
Very cool spin on pac-man, and set up perfectly with the intro cut scene. The strategy of getting the pellet to lead pac-man right in to the ghost was a really cool mechanic. Would be nice to have a bit more control of where the berry is dropped but overall great work!
thank you for playing! I like your recommendation on making the berry mechanic more useful. I was thinking of a way I could do that, and I think your idea is just what it needs!
Cool game and Idea, however the game is pathetically easy with packman dying in like 10 seconds every time so, but it is staying true to the game so can't complain that much, stuff like the cutscene and main menu were really good so props to you.
Thanks for playing the game! I might fix it up some time down the line
Great job I love the cutscene at the start and the only problem with the gameplay is that I wish it lasted longer. It's actually surprisingly satisfying just leading pac-man around. Great original idea and well executed.
This game is really cool! The animation at the beginning is very well made and explains the story greatly. Also, the music and the movement are both really good. One piece of feedback is to make the game a little longer, or a little bit harder.
Good job!
That cinematic is better than anything marvel can throw together nowadays. Simple but very fun game. suprisingly replayable due to me constantly wanting to last longer.
thank you so much for the review!
I was kind of hoping for a first person horror game, but overall I enjoyed it. The opening cinematic is a masterpiece. My only issue is that pacman dies too easily, he doesn't avoid the ghosts at all and so the game is really easy.
A first person horror game did come to mind, but I decided against it because I had seen many similar first person pacman horror games lol. Thanks for playing!
Cute game!:O
thanks!
thank you!
Very nice game, had a lot of fun playing it!
thank you!
I was so proud of myself when I dodged 2 ghosts on a corner and then [redacted] did the same and got me!
thank you for playing! And yes, the navmesh is juuuust wide enough to be able to squeeze past some guys!
Looks nice! But Pac-man kept dying almost immediately as I pressed start...
I'm sorry to hear that. I had to really try different things and scale back the pathfinding for the game jam (and my own sanity), so the ghosts just go wherever, and pacman doesn't try to avoid them. I might fix some things in a future update if I'm feeling up for the challenge!
Excellent presentation, well wrapped. I imagine the last dots of all levels uniting to build an army and destroy pacman forever! hehe!
thank you so much for the review! Now that would be an interesting concept!
Save the last dot!!! Very adorable game. Great work!
thanks!
