A very nice Spring-y twist on Pacman! The graphics and new little features make it fresh and interesting. I was a little unsure how to play at first because I've not played a Pacman-style game for a while, so maybe it needs a little in-game tutorial at the start. Good entry overall :)

This a great spring themed version of pacman. Good job!

Simple but effective, plants really leave no chance on the other hand !

If you wanted a Pacman game for this jam, this is it right here. Clean cut graphics, nice hedges, what more is there to have. Maybe more weapons to be able to fend off those vicious flowers would be nice. Good game!

Developer

Wow, thank you. I did intend to have the plants grow into hedges if they stepped on one you chopped down, and a power up that grew hedges... but I ran out of time. Thanks for playing and the kind words.

I like the game and how you used plants as ghost it was very cool

Its a cool pacman-like game. I like how you can go to one side of the screen and come out of the other. This adds a little twist and I think the original Pac-Man didn't had that. You could improve the AI a little bit. There all just following you. In the original Pac-Man I think every ghost had a different behavior like one is straight following you, another is trying to cut off your way etc.

Thanks for playing. I spent hours trying to get it to be like the original Pac-Man AI, but I was unsuccessful. In the end I just went with a simple chase AI to make it playable. I plan on revisiting the code once voting is done.

Pacman with a twist. Loved the art and the gameplay. I liked pulling out the gardening tools and cutting down the bushes. Awesome work

Developer

Thanks for playing. I get the feeling that most people don't play long enough to clear one full screen to get the weed eater. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
