The sight of running into that evil creature whenever I turn around will haunt me in my sleep ༼>⌓<༽. After beating the starved beast, the alarm sound is fitting but slightly loud. Overall it fits the theme pretty well and was a nice and fun experience!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah next jam, I will try to dedicate more time to sound balancing

Couldn't win but great game. Not sure how the dash works, but I enjoyed the game. The pacman was quite scary, especially since u can always hear him while unsure where he is. I figured out you need to press buttons quite early but without that one comment I wouldn't not guess you need 5 of them. There was also something written on the wall but I didn't want to wait and read it. Would be cool if you could turn around and 'eat' packman to get rid of him for couple of seconds. Not to mention to have him in the real world settings, now that would be scary :D great work on a classic game. Just whish there would be more to do there.

Developer

Thanks. I appreciate an in depth review. Yeah a few people had the same experience as you, I should have the given player more breathing room to figure out what was going on and explained in more detail the rules and controls. Eating Pacman would have been a good excuse to put in the food items as power ups.

Cool game! Nice concept of being chased by pac man! I must admit I got a fright when I turned round to see pacman right there! Hope Ryan plays this one just for his reaction of getting caught by manpac.

Thanks! It legit would be awesome if I got a jump scare out of him live on screen.

That ManPac is scary! I figured out that if you walk straight through the zig-zag corners, you can get ahead. I'm not sure how to win, though. My guess is there are a few switches you need to hit to open the exit, but I don’t know how many buttons I need to find.

Developer

Cheers mate. There are 5 buttons in total which will spawn in random places. I guess I should have explained that or eased up on the monster to give players time to figure it out

the man pack was perfect. I might have added the power pellets for the player to get more boost or maybe even get to chase manpac

Developer

Appreciate the feedback, yeah power ups would have made the game more interesting and given the player more breathing room
