Pac-man become 2d platformer. Good idea. I like it!

Submitted(+1)

Nice idea! It was a very nice plot twist, I do wish the game was a little easier though lol :P

Pro gamer move: use right arrow to move right, then jump and press A to face left while still moving right so u can shoot while moving forward through the level

actually the first one to be able to discover and use it like myself haha

A twist on a classic, I love it the only issue I bumped into is in ste start when it is regular pac man the ghosts didnt follow me the just stood there

Submitted(+1)

LOL Nice! Fun twist on a classic. One recommendation I would have is to add sound effects throughout, like when eating the larger power-ups or when dying. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Nice! Cool idea. I love pacman, really cool to see it in another format. Awesome work!

Submitted(+1)

Great idea with mechanics switch!

Submitted(+1)

Oh, the plot twist you presented is amazing. It really surprised me. The controls in platformer mode are well done and fun, but the boss is a bit too difficult.

Submitted(+1)

This is a clever take on switching Pacman into a platformer, I love the idea! The controls were a bit tough to get the hand of but I had a great time!

I love pacman. That giant ghost gave me a jumpscare on my first run when it spawned, but it was fun times.

Platforming was a bit too hard for me but I enjoyed general aesthetic and music was very nice,
 good job surprising me with this twist!
Glad my team wasn't the only one to make a nod to a classic arcade game :)

Great twist on the original! Super punishing to die late in the level. Had a lot of fun with this one

Developer

oh thank you so much for playing,

I guess it was short enough imo to just not put Checkpoints haha.

I really need to make time for playtesting other people to improve.

Nice approach !

Submitted(+1)

Loved the dramatic change in the game.. Pacman as a chaotic platformer! 

Submitted(+1)

What a great twist on a classic! Nice work! 

Submitted(+1)

This was so cool! Loved the approach, the game feels so nice in the sense of discovering what will happen next! 

Amazing entry!

this was cool, the movement was basic but worked. i might add release to descend just cause it helps with the platforming a lot, but everything functioned pretty well. the exit sign on the pac man maze surprised me, and the chase idea did add to the platforming aspect. thanks for entering!

Submitted(+1)

Great concept. I loved the twist. The Big ghost put a bit too much time pressure on me, but I guess that's the genre.

Developer

thanks a lot,  unfortunately i didn't have anyone to playtest and tweak things up.

but the concept i wanted to show was more important for me, and i really happy you enjoyed it

I was like, this is just pacman? I found the exit haha
