Fun idea! So, this is what the ghosts feel like haha! I enjoyed the reversed roles on this old classic.
Nice game! Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to really spawncamp pacman but I did sit on his powerups and that was pretty fun.
Sorry to hear you are leaving.
I played the game and I was facinated how you gave it a completly new twist. Your PacMan was more like a strategy game like chess. Well done!
Btw: you made it to my list

I was expecting anti pacman game , but not expecting this good presentation, Liked the game
This may not be the most original idea in the jam but it's executed so well that it doesn't matter! It was super fun coming up with plans on how to corner pacman and prevent it from getting it from getting the drugs powerups, and everything felt like it belongs in the original game!
I absolutely love it! such a creative idea. My only problem is that it is really hard to select a ghost, so most of the time, I accidentally get one ghost to go to the one I was selecting. and if you get your ghost to surround pac-man's spawning area, you basically just won the whole game. Despite these flaws, it is a really: good, fun, and creative game! (:
You're welcome! I was thinking that if you continue this game after the jam you could make each level or world a different game's enemy: like the Koopas and Goombas in a mario level, the enemy ships in Galaga, or the cars from Frogger. I think each of these games could work very well in the strategy style your going for. If you do you can bet I'll be following to progress of the game!
Good idea, excellent execution. It is really hard to coordinate all your ghosts at the speed the game goes so if you're going to work on this after the jam I think having an option to make a ghost follow pac-man by clicking him would be good and maybe just slow the whole game down a bit so there's more time to think. Other than that this game is perfect and very fun.
Great gameplay is the best thing about this game and I'm not a fan of strategy games, so that says something!
It's just a shame the ghosts don't reset after every kill, because after I got Pac-Man once, I camped him and he couldn't do anything about it, winning me the game pretty much instantly. 240 pellets is how many I was able to save doing this unintentional strat.
To not repeat what is said below, the Idea is brilliant, to remake such a classic, and the execution is flawless with perfect balance and solid controls, excellent work!
Probably the best game I've played yet!
Its fun, creative and overall very well made
If I had to criticize would be there are some bugs and the controls are somewhat weird, but those are VERY minor issues
I actually had this same idea, but was deterred from making it because i couldn't pull it off. You exected this perfectly and made a fun, strategic game! :)
That was a a really creative idea. The usage of the theme is really cunning in your game. The graphics were pretty great. Although one thing which I would recommend you to do is make the enemies move around constantly because when I just put the enemies in one of the corners and camp it, pacman eats the rest of the pellets and in the end gets killed. Other than that, it was a pretty solid game
Very fun and harder than I expected. I found out that you can just place one ghost at the spot where Pac-Man respawns and kill it immediately. Perhaps you could give it a few seconds of invincibility after respawn. Overall, the idea is very well-executed.
