This really reminds me of pac man. The controls felt a bit janky even though I knew I wasn't able to turn back, it felt like my inputs weren't registering when I wanted to turn sometimes. The graphics look really polished and sfx are great, but I feel it lacks some more musical/ambience elements. A lot of thought went into the level design, and overall, this was a good entry!

Thanks for playing! Yeah, my original idea was "Pac man but you have a gun" and I went from there lol.
I definitely wasn't able to get the controls 100% to where I wanted them. There's a bit of input buffering so that if you try to turn just before an intersection you still turn- but I realize now that I didn't buffer inputs in the other direction. So, if someone is consistently a frame or two late on the turn input- they won't turn- which feels bad.
Music is definitely something I struggle with too. I think what I have right now works well enough for the intro/title screen- but for the actual gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
