Loved chasing the mice around the map. It was hard to catch the last one. Could use some audio. Good addition.

I liked that there is some skill expression in trying to trap the mice! And the triangle concept of each other eating them is great.

I think this is a really innovative twist on PacMan: instead of eating the pills (eggs, in this game) the player produces them. The ghosts (mice, in this game) eat the pills, and you eat the ghosts (mice). Basically turning the whole PacMan concept on it's head, well done on that.

The game is tricky as the mice move as fast as you do, always try to escape and there are very few dead ends to trap them in. With a few tweaks this could be a really addictive game!

Thanks! I was aiming for a reversed Pac-Man like you said

Simple, but still interesting for a few minutes trying to trick the AI.  Smoother framerate and audio would be a nice addition. nice work!

Thanks for the feedback!

Good job! I like the gameplay twist of trying to keep enough eggs on the board.
