The art was quite good, although the pac-man games ghost A.I should be more similar to the original pac man game, and after losing and trying that mini-game 3 times, its doesn't let me play thegame anymore, final bug I found is that when I press pause and go back to main menu and hit play again, I can't move anymore, also i couldn't complete level one lol, pac-man A.I to hard.

Submitted

The art is really cute and the idea is super original. I like how this is basically a minigame inside of a game too. There are some bugs with the UI and collision but other than that, this game was fun to play!

Submitted

I like the art and sounds. Especially, i like collecting coin animation. Gameplay also good except some collision issues. In general, this game is good. Nice work.

Submitted

Fun little game! I really like the attention to detail you put into the environment, very consistent art style too.

Submitted

Clever idea for a jam game. I did not expect that haha. Plus you managed to put a feature in your game we all could use. Volume control! 
I sacrificed poor Pac-man to see if the power pills would let me eat ghosts. They didn't and now Mrs. Pacman will be quite upset. 

Submitted

Looks good, nice game!

Developer

Thank you! sure i'll do it right now :)

Submitted

I really liked this game a lot. The art is very cute and well done and the sound and music fits as well! And I love the theme and the detail shine animation on the start screen logo! If I had to change something I'd make it so that collecting coins was more of a challenge  – maybe add other coin-grabbing gamers? And I'd let Pacman move in whole-tile increments, I got stuck on the walls from time to time there..

Great game, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! And for the great feedback, it is a really great ideer with the other coin grabbing gamers, i havn't thought of that :D

Submitted

I like the animation when you get a coin Hahaha. This is like 1 game and 1 minigame, good job! I just hope that Pacman will fill the entire tile when moving so it will not bump the wall when you change direction half way of the tile.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing, and for the feedback :D

Submitted

Sure! I'd be happy if you give a rate and a feedback on my game too if you get the chance :)

Developer(+1)

I have allready rated, and thourgh i wrote a comment aswell hmm.. never mind. . The game was sooo good! I enjoyed it very much! the only thing was I got a bit dizzy when moving from left to right and right to left. someting with the camera i guess :) But that didn't stop me from completing the game, and loving it all the way! Great game! - and the art is on point if I may add! 

Submitted

Oww, sorry about that Hahaha. I got a lot of notifications so they kinda messed up my mind lmao. But yeah, a big thanks for completing my game! I really appreciate it :)

Submitted

The game has a lot of charm and I liked how you had to go back a back and forth to collect coins in the arcade to keep playing pac-man :) (Quick tip - There were random lines flashing in and out and I believe this was caused by anti aliasing which you can disable in the editor) I'd appreciate f you checked out my game if you had the time

Developer

Thank you for playing! ohh you are to kind! thank you for that, I just didn't know how to fix it, but that is something i defintiely will look into! I'm just gonna pop over to your game now :) 

Submitted

Love a bit of pacman and the arcade section has very nice visuals! I did run into a couple UI glitches for example i died in pacman and it kicked me out so i went back in and the r to reset screen was constantly on so i could not play. Apart from that its a great take on the pacman experience with a lovely outside world. I do wish I could have a go at some of the other machines though! Happy jamming!

Developer

Thank you for playing, and for the feedback! yeaah theres unfortunatly a lot of bug´s iam still very new at this, but thank you for taking the time :) 

Submitted

Most games including mine are bugged but I'm so happy to see so many great games be made in a week. Good work!

Developer

yeaah this is my first Jam, and well.. a week flys by really fast haha. I just played our game and enjoyed it very much! 

Submitted

Yeah this week was hard for us new game devs, glad it worked out for us though! Glad you enjoyed, I really was worried how it would turn out.

Submitted

hi i love your game design and animations the idea could have a grate future the only thing is that since the coins were close the character animation couldnt play entirly every time. apart from that i love it and if you have time i would like that you play mine thanks.

Developer

Thank you for playing it! <3 sure i will! I get right on it :) 

Submitted

hey thanks for checking out my game and for the feedback I tested out your game and it looks really good with great game mechanics keep up the great work

Submitted

Got to say wow 2 games for one. I loved the way the game worked but its kind of weird that the packman doesn't fallow a line like in the original, but it makes it interesting and more difficult. also the packman speeds up and slows down sometimes not sure why, one other thing when I went to the pack man machine before i had any coins the game crashed. All in all a great game. might play it some more sometime. 

Submitted

You almost get 2 games for the price of 1 in this submission. A couple of issues with some invisible walls, and sprite tearing and I also wished the guy would walk a little bit faster. I also got tripped up in the Pacman game as I thought the pellet would allow you to eat the ghost as in the original game. Fun game overall, I wonder if there is an ending if you beat the game?

Developer

Thank you for playing! yeah I kinda ran out of time, so i didn't make so you could eat the ghost, this was my first Jam and I proberbly bit over more than I could cew, with the 2 in one game and every thing. Theres is an ending, if you get far enough in Pac-Man, but I see what  you are saying. Thank you so much for taking the time to give some feedback! 

Submitted

hahahah the animation when he gets a coin is really funny, it looks like he's dancing the background music.

I'd like to know what do you think of my game :D

Developer(+1)

Submitted
