Round 1: This is neat, Pacman AI isn't very smart though
Round 2: H E L P
This one was a lot of fun! Chasing pacman down only to turn tail when he hits a power pellet, camping the last pellet and cornering him - I really got more out of it than I expected.
I would've liked to see a little more progression, or just more difficulty - Pacman started to have my number from round 2 onwards, but it didn't seem to matter how many times I got caught. But gamejam go brrrrr - the core game was fun, and that's what counts!
A solid interpretation of a theme built on a solid foundations of one of the most popular video games of all time. It is nice to play as the ghost for once. The AI seems to work fine, the pathing was predictable, but it is a plus in my book when it comes to a jam game, that I want to only spend couple minutes on and simply have fun. Graphics-wise there is not much to say, as the game simply perfectly does what it wants to do, which is to match the style of original pac-man. I like the small touches, like letting the player choose the color of the ghost. Technically it works well, so there is nothing really that I could nitpick about. The game definetely achieves all of its goals in a good way.
Very nice game. The graphics were very nice although are the original ones. I enjoyed your interpretation of the theme. Well done
Thanks!
Nicely executed idea, and it fits the roles reversed concept perfectly. The Pacman pathfinding is pretty decent, but it could use some improvements, especially on higher levels for added difficulty.
Thanks! Will change it just after the rating period
Cute and to the point. Scoped really well! Would maybe touch up the font for the score and lives to give more of an effect to the arcade era it's trying to emulate.
Thanks! wanted to change the font just before the end but it didn't work. Will try to change it after the ratings
Nicely done! It makes me think multiplayer pacman would be quite fun too :P
thanks! though of it and may add it after the end of the jam ratings period
Creative usage of roles reversed. Is there any difference between levels?
Thanks! pacman just goes a bit faster and you get a bit more points at the end of the level
Simple but good game. Works well. Wish we could control more than one ghost though. like a simple management stuff. Well done
Thanks! i don't know how i could make for the idea to stay and at the same time adding more ghosts
good game!
Thanks!
Well made game - sadly my Pac-Man always took the same route so he was too easy too catch
thanks! will change some things after the end of the jam to make pac-man smarter
Was fun to play! Anyway i stoped playing after some > 16000 points. The movements of pacman got too predictable. And pacman should be able to turn midway between two crossings to run away from the ghost. But don't worry, I know how difficult it is to create a good pacman ai that is a challenge but beatable on the other side.
Btw: you made it to my list:
