Let people know how long you've been working on the game
I started in November, working on it here and there, but never ever getting controls to work right. Finally, a few weeks ago, I sat down and pushed to fix what I had and finish the rest, though I might change a couple of more things.

This was a nice entry. Definitely was fun and playable. However, sometimes the scaling of difficulty was weird. For instance, after I got the first big pellet to defeat the worm, 2 levels after it got extremely harder to get the last pellet but after I got passed it the next 3 to 4 levels were easy until it got to that extreme difficulty again. Not sure if it was intentional, but just wanted to throw that out there. Overall though, nice work!

Thank you very much! It does get very difficult from time to time, but it's always different. When the dots have all been consumed, they are regenerated, and the power pellet is randomly spawned (if spawned, sometimes it doesn't). I went with a very procedural setup for the dots. Though I really am not good at playing the game myself lol

Thank you! It gets really scary trying to grab that middle dot! Timing is key! Glad you enjoy it! 😁

I guess it takes a certain kind of genius to come up with a 1 dimensional Pac-Man, so well done!
