Fun reversal on pacman.   I  wish I could have checked out 2 player mode but it's cool that you have it as an option.   Music and art fit well together.  Minor bug:  the aspect ratio is off so the the how to instructions were partially cut off on the left and right.   Would love to see this expanded with more levels.  Great job!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I need to find out how to better enforce 16:9 on how Unity games

Fun game! I like the lights showing where the ghosts are going, would've been nice to have added some mechanics for the ghosts like teleport, dash or sprint just to change up the ol' pacman formula. Great game!

Could you rate my game? I would really appreciate it, thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah we had thought of different abilities for ghosts, but we didn't have time, we just wanted to make this idea as polished as possible.

An amusing take for sure! I had fun with it, I think you all did a really good job making it very clear what was going on. I understood where my little guys where going and when they were doing their own thing. I liked the feeling of cornering the diver. My only feedback is that it wasn't initially clear when he had the invincibility power, until i learned what the sound meant. When i did learn however, it added another level of challenge as i tried to make sure all my little guys stayed out of his way. Good work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Glad overall you still had fun.

Really good game and well made! Executed the idea really well and it was challenging but not too challenging to the point where I wanted to give up, so good balance on that end! What was funny is there was one time I was about to capture the diver and then one of the fish randomly moved on its own which was frustrating and coincidental.

Developer(+2)

Thank you! Yeah the fishes will move on their own from time to time to prevent them from just keeping guard of one spot for too long as we thought that would be too powerful, sometimes they have some funny timings :)

I like the art style and assets, also the underwater theme is cool for pac man. My first game I won really early, and my second game three of my ghosts got captured and then it wasn't really possible for me to win. I also couldn't tell which of the bubbles powered up the AI, so maybe making them a different color would help.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Yeah the difficulty can be a little inconsistent for sure. Although if you get a bit cheeky with it you can clutch a win with only one ghost ;) I agree that the power bubbles should stand out more, we discussed it but unfortunately it was getting really close to the deadline so we didn't have time to change it in time for the submission.
