This is amazing! I genuinely enjoyed the art style and the music. The art kinda reminded me of Kirby's Dream Course for some reason lol. It  meshes really well with the gameplay. The game felt very complete, which is kinda impressive for it being made under one month as well. I got nothing to criticize about this game (other than the music being a tad bit repetitive at times, but it might just be me). Great entry! :D

Amazing aesthetic, sound and puzzle design.  Definitely the most cohesive and polished entry I've seen.  Feels like something namco made for the gba!  Reminds me of chu chu rocket in the best way possible.  Amazing work!

Great job! Very good puzzle design, which is always a challenge to get right.

This is an absolute masterclass of puzzle gaming. Really polished and complete entry with an easy to follow and useful tutorial. Gorgeous pixel art, music, sound and very clever level design. Awesome twist of the theme game. I managed to solve all the puzzles but I saw no formal ending, also I have no clue how to unlock the secret levels. Congratulations for this gem!

Wow that's awesome. I wasn't sure if anyone would actually be able to solve everything.  The secret levels are the big challenges though. Didn't really want to spoil anything, so I guess I'll just give a hint about it: you need to press the arrow keys in a specific sequence to unlock the secret levels. The sequence is hinted at in the game levels.

Thanks for playing!

Whoa! The movement system was such a cool idea, and the retro style fit perfectly. Loved the sound effects too awesome game! 👾

Very polished and complete game, presumably using a tried-and-tested game engine. Enjoyable to play. As a comfy puzzler it obviously doesn't have the adrenaline of the original PacMan, but it does have all the essential elements: pills, ghost and power-pills (to make ghosts vulnerable), so kudos on that.

Submitting 20 days early and still having this good of a game is crazy. it looks good, it sounds good, it plays good, it just doesnt feel much like pac-man though but maybe thats just me

Hello! Thanks for submitting! Nice job getting something in so early.

Actually we've added a new question to the submission criteria that all entries need to answer (you just got yours in before I got to add it haha).

The new question concerns when projects were begun, and will be critical for helping us fairly distribute prizes. 

Please use the "Edit Submission" button at the top left of this page to find the new question. It's second-to-last in the list.

Thank you, and sorry about the extra hurdle! Good luck in the jam :D

(BTW, if you reply to this message and then remove the submission entirely (people do sometimes for some reason), then note that I won't be able to read it!)
