Even if it's so simple it's so nice to play the ghost! it's so thrilling.
As soon as they said the theme is "Roles reversed," I remembered one Anti pacman game I played before, but your game is way way better than that game. Not just that it is strategical, the whole atmosphere of the game is just thrilling. I think this is fenomenal :)
Good job, great take on the reverse roles! It's well polished, too! I was so scared when pacman got the upgrade thing that eats ghosts!
What can we say, it's absolutely incredible.
Really neat idea and very good execution :)
Pretty fun game that turns pac man from a score based arcade game to a strategy game! I ran into a bug sometimes where the ghosts would shake in place for a while before moving to their location, but otherwise very polished.
This was super fun! Loved the reverse take on Pac-Man, was very fun to strategize my ghosts!
This is super well made, very polished, really enjoyed playing! The music gave a tense atmosphere almost felt like pacman was the bad guy.
We also considered a reverse pacman game, but yours is designed really well! I really like the strategy aspect of managing your ghosts. Very nice entry. :)
Hi. I really enjoyed this game. I thought it was a great idea creating it.

An innovative take on the classic game!
Well done! The game runs smoothly and the idea to give the ghosts different vision and speed is brilliant. Cool game!
Btw: you made it to my list:

Pacman forever!
Nice idea, and well implemented. I lost a few times without guite understanding why though
Very simple and polished one of the better idea for this jam!
Super cool idea, great implementation of the theme - that's what this jam was for!
Little polish is left, like the time UI is on top of the numbers for me, or the ghosts getting stuck with each other at the start, but overall a very good submission!
Really good, it’s the exact reverse of the game.
Really well made implementation of reverse pac man. This is exactly what I envisioned when reading the description.
This was very good. I loved the different abilities and limitations that the ghosts had.
The concept seems like it has potential, I hope you find the time to polish it a bit more some day!
Please be sure to rate our game back as well!
Our twist of the theme is that a critic tries to play your unfinished game, and you fight from inside the computer to make him like it.
