This was so much fun, loved the humour and the general gameplay! I also really appreciated the rewind mechanic, that was so useful and usually so overlooked in games. This was good fun!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you found it to be good fun. :)

Wonderful puzzle game that I played for a long time, with good use of humor and the theme!

Developer

Thank you for playing (for a long time)!

This is an amazing game. I dont know how far I was from the end, but it was great. when I was nearly done with a level and the stupid sword fish killed me... I will have to get back to it. but its really great. Thanks for the game.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Sorry for the difficulty, there were definitely too many enemies wandering around making things harder than they should have been. I'm glad you thought it great in spite of that. :)

I made it to the end. Oh wow what a game. i must have played an entire hour. Congrats. Very funny, very enjoyable. clever mechanics, nice puzzles, great characters, with a plot. it had everything. Excellent job!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing all the way to the end! Sorry it ate up so much of your time, I really appreciate it. :D

Fun and great reimagining of PacMan

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you found it fun.

Games like that you cant judge by its cover. Its the kind of game that would still be known today, if was released during the arcade age.
Its pure genius, who tought of this? Well huge thumbs up to your ideas and ability to make games.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I should learn how to make animated cover pictures since Itch allows for that, it could help give people a better impression of what the game has to offer.

Cool idea, well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

The idea is very interesting and unique, the characters have character (duh...). The execution is very well made. Controls are a bit weird around corners but it's very good for a jam game!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you found enough character in the characters. :D

Interesting game. I like the concept and the story is funny, but the biting fish were a bit frustrating. I do like the way the eel paths through the tunnels. Very impressive given the time constraints of the jam. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Sorry it was frustrating, I've gone back to replay it and realized how excessive the enemy spawns are in some areas. I'm glad you found the story funny, at least. :)

I made it up to the red penguin level.  Very cute and amusing game! 😃
Very impressive that you got all this done in just a week!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! (I mean, that's definitely not a penguin, but thank you!)

“You took part in a game jam. We have so much in common!”

This was one of the most fun submission I’ve tried so far!

You clearly had fun writing the dialogue. I appreciate the goofiness.

As a retro MS-DOS enjoyer I liked the simple-yet-vibrant color palette.

I made it to the level with Ymmep, the red definitely-not-a-penguin but did not know hot to proceed.

I would’ve loved to keep trying but, alas, time is short and there are many more submissions to go through.

Great work overall!

P.S. Electra looks like 🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔

Developer

Thank you for playing! Totally understandable to prioritize checking out as many submissions as you can during the review period. I'm glad you had fun with what you saw of mine. :)

Great story, cool atmosphere, great game! I like that talking hamburger, he looks like a cool guy. Also, green penguin for the win :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Hamburger eels are going to be the breakout design of 2026, probably.

I really enjoyed this one!

First of all, the game page itself is very eye-catching and does a great job of showing off the game's personality before you even start playing.

The gameplay was also a lot of fun. I especially liked how the progression unfolds and how new things are gradually introduced as you play. It kept me curious and wanting to see what would happen next.

There are a lot of creative ideas here, and I honestly would have liked to keep playing longer and discover even more of what the game has to offer.

Great job on the submission!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! And thank you for the kind words about the game page as well, I spent some time figuring out how to make it look nicer.

Cool take on 2 classic games. Well done.

Developer

Thank you very much!

Is this a PacMan? Is this Snake??? Yes, it's both! Simple design, yet nostalgic feel. Very fun times :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you found it fun. :D

Submitted(+1)

Very cool, feel the influence of a couple of the greats in this one Pac-man and Dig Dug.  Style and humor are on point.  This is a solid entry and fun.  Great job!

Developer

Thank you for checking it out!

Haha, big fan of this one.  Love your unhinged and humorous characters. And the gameplay actually requires a bit of thought! Satisfying Pac Man-Esque chomping Hero! Fits the theme perfectly! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you like the characters, writing them is what I had the most fun with.

The game was excellent. Very fun once I got the hang of it. Thanks for the great play!

Developer

Was fun to play, the retro vibes are really well done , at first i thought of something like snake but i didnt see that coming. good job

Developer

Thank you for playing! I glad you liked the retro vibes, they help make up for my limitations as an artist. :D

Death is only the beginning fish got me laughing. Fun game, interesting mechanics, going to the right has been very successful!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm happy to hear I could get you to laugh. :)
