Great recreation of pac-man with a fun twist! True to the original graphics, but a little less smooth with the gameplay. Well implemented overall, and worth a play for the nostalgia factor! Hope you can clean it up after the jam!

Detailed Review

[ + + + - - ] :: ENJOYMENT

Great work recreating pac man in reverse! The AI was a bit inconsistent; it did half the work for me, and made suboptimal decisions. I also kept getting caught on the corners, and it seems like the mouse did too.


[ + + + + -] :: CREATIVITY

I like how you turned pac man into a game of cat and mouse! You also found the fabled missing slice(s) of pac man! (the cheese JK)

That said, I saw another pac-man recreation that had several other creative elements; such as making unique maze levels, and making it a game of a boar vs a warrior.


[ + + + + - ]  ::  PRESENTATION

You did a great job reviving the aesthetics of the classic game, and with the sound effects and animations. I was never in doubt about what to do, either. Everything was straightforward, and I even had a score to strive for!

If there were more visual/audio elements added to further enhance the experience I might have given it 5 stars. For instance, I played another game that was a role reversal of the google chrome dinosaur game that added color, and additional elements like a meteor, and new obstacles that complimented their game.

I totally agree with everything you said. Thank very much for the detailed, valueable feedback!
