- picking up letters for a word that is just spelled out on the screen is not super educational...... but pulling off a DOM based pacman is not bad! wish I could hold down the arrow keys to move however.
- Great idea, really nailed the edutainment part. Impressive technically. Game play would have felt much, much nicer if we could hold arrows. Really fun and well done entry!

Very fun game! I liked the various stage layouts for the different words
Amazing job on this! You really nailed the look and feel of pacman. I also had to google "impecunious" after playing lol.
Thanks! I've also learned a few words myself from this game lol.
Actually had to stop because my carpal tunnel was acting up. It's so addicting! I absolutely love this. Awesome job and awesome idea.
Edit: I was so curious to see how you guys made this (because I was stumped on where to even begin with creating the boards) so I checked out your code, and I just want to let you know of my pure, childish delight when I noticed that you guys named the ghosts correctly. A+++
Haha naming those ghosts is important, and oh no! We attempted to make it smooth movement but it turned out too unreliable so we went back the tap tap tap method. There's probably a better way than what we tried but we didn't find it in time (using setInterval doesn't seem to be the best approach). We'll get it next gamejam!
Was looking forward to seeing this based on the discussions on the server, glad you were able to get it up! Very cool concept for spelling words, love the old school vibe of Pacman.
Glad to see you got this working and uploaded, great job!
