An interesting take on the theme, but I wish there was more polish and stuff. And definitely something explaining the controls (at least on the game page) because the right click was not obvious for me.

Cool game idea to frame Pacman with ghosts! Wish there was a small tutorial for controls. Awesome game!

Submitted

Cool take on PacMan. A bit too easy since you can corner the thief very fast with the many cops you have. The concept is cool and fun though. Very nice stuff!

The controls could use some tweaking, but there's so much potential with this. I hope you continue working on it. It is already really fun to play as is :)

The concept of sorround pacman with your skills is cool! Had some problems figuring out the controls at the beginning, but not a big issue. Maybe you can differentiate the policemen so that everyone has his own speed, skill etc. Anyway, good job!

The Good Overlord

Yeah, that's originally what I wanted to do but I struggled to get the pathfinding working correctly. I may make a post jam update.

Nice idea reversing Pac Man! Took me a while to figure out the controls.

Maybe it's a little too easy without the robber actively trying to avoid guards.

Slay the Heroine

KreastriconDeveloper1 year ago

Yup. Too easy. Wish I had more time to work on it.

ironcutter24Submitted1 year ago

Yeah, it's a kind of AI that screams "signed distance field" to me. Could be a fast way to improve it a bit

ChopieTheCatSubmitted1 year ago

Funny guard game good polish on the pathing for the guards/the effects for pathing + the AI's attacking during the orb pickup. Unique twist on pacman would love to see levels made. [Also we found it might be harder to let the thief win so potential win-con achievement maybe]

Chat - "this must be a really bad theif"

Left click to select the police, right click to move them.

Desolation: All For One

Soul_TurtleSubmitted1 year ago

Found it a bit hard to figure out how to control the policemen. Cute implementation of reverse pacman though, and I like that you reskinned it too.

Submitted

Elis JacobsonSubmitted1 year ago

Short and sweet!

A bit hard to control the policemen, but I got the hang of it. Nice to see someone else implement path finding this game jam!

Fun re-theme on a classic.

I got a virus warning when opening it

KreastriconDeveloper1 year ago

I always get messages like that when I open other peoples games from jams. There is not much you can do about it.

Great presentation, but I found it hard to work out what I was supposed to do. D:
