I find it entertaining, but I think the sound every time Pac-Man moves is very annoying.
Good game, I like it! Especially the sound of the yellow creatures when moving, that's awesome.
Thanks for playing! Here are the Garage Band files for the sound & music in case you'd like to take a look at how they were made—the creature moving sound is "step-and-eat":

I couldn't tell this was a 5hr project at all! I really like the mechanic of having the pac-men be the enemy and the movement in bursts is such a smart design choice. All the movements being telegraphed before they happen makes the gameplay feel so fair.
Another small thing I noticed was the movement intervals are matched with the music which is another great touch. Really great work!
Thanks so much for all of the kind words & feedback!
I was worried that the movement might feel unfair and generally it's hard to balance jam games, but I'm so glad it turned out about right!
I like the scary pacman sfx, and there movement is kinda scary
Thanks for playing! I just wish the graphics matched the vibe haha
Great idea!
Thanks!
I know its only a 5 hour project but I really like what you're going for. There aren't really any horror elements which is a missed opportunity since the real Pacman game has ghosts in it. I guess the dot you play is is supposed to be a ghost. Either way its fun and I'd like to see you expand on this into a bigger game.
Thanks so much for playing! Yeah I definitely whiffed on the horror aspect... 'twas meant to be a flip where the Pac dudes chase the ghost. Unfortunately it got lost in the top-down camera view! It was at an angle earlier but the controls felt off.. in any case, I'll probably revisit this concept at some point, so thanks for the feedback!
