Nice Pacman clone. Were there supposed to be sound effects? Didn't bother me that I couldn't hear any. My brain perfectly recreated the iconic sounds anyway!
Thank you. Nope, there were no sound effects in this version.
Not too bad! Despite the ghosts loving to stay in the middle, they were merciless at tracking me down once they left their box. After enough tries, I managed to clear the first level.
If you decide to take this further, then as well as the ghost AI fixes, I think adding sound effects would really make a huge difference to making the game more engaging to play.
Thanks, also for the tip about sound effects. I'll keep this in mind. I think you are right, sound can make a huge difference.
Nice art :) AI was kind of unpredictable, I wasn't able to proceed to the next level no matter what.
Nice colorful art and a reasonable representation of Pacman!
Thank you! All credit for the art goes to VladPenn: https://vladpenn.itch.io/pacman
Solid clone of Pacman! As a very bad Pacman player, the simple AI didn't bother me much (although I did notice the AI getting stuck sometimes.)
I haven't heard of Wisp before—interesting concept!
Thanks! Yeah I wasn't able to completely eliminate the AI getting stuck in the time left. :( In retrospect I wish I had spent more time on the AI and less on some details in the animations.
Nicely done! I find quite fascinating the tool stack used to develop this game!
Thanks! :)
The tech choices are really original, looking at the code had me scratching my head for a while before I understood what wisp actually is :D. It's also really cool that you got it running in a browser, it simplifies distribution a lot!
You did a pretty good job replicating pacman, and it's nice that the ghosts aren't very smart because at least I have a chance at beating this version of the game!
Thank you! :)
I was also grateful for the ghost AI. This may be the best I’ve done in pacman
The choice of the tech stack is so interesting to me! I had never heard of https://www.draketo.de/software/wisp or https://github.com/kiselgra/c-mera before. Compiling the game to run on the browser is so impressive. Well done!
Thank you! I enjoyed working in this stack. Having both Lisp's macro system and C was nice! Wisp was a little tricky at first but it's simple so I could quickly get used to it. Same goes for C-Mera.

Ah, it worked on Chrome. Thank you for making this!
It's fun to play, feel extremely hard,
thank you :) I'm glad you enjoy it! Especially because I didn't have a lot of time for play testing
I also get this error but only in private browsing mode. It works in normal mode for me.
Maybe it's my extensions, they blocked a lot of things.
I think possibly it's a part of the code that is trying to use IndexedDB storage. Don't panic! :)
It's a failed debugging experiment. I thought it would be useful to be able save the game's state to persistent storage for debugging purpose. This game is built with Emscripten, it uses IndexedDB for persistent storage. The request to use IndexedDB is still in the code, as I didn't have time to remove that before the deadline. Although the game stores no data there.
As another data point, I didn't have any issue running it on Firefox 113 on Ubuntu.
