A great twist on strategy game and reversed PacMan! I like the design of different type of ghosts and the fog which makes this game more fun. Great job! :)

Submitted

Excellent work! The pathfinding and ai seems incredible, and for a two day jam! Its also a super unique and interesting take on the theme, and especially for a reverse of a classic game. The game looks superb too!

Even if it's so simple it's so nice to play the ghost! it's so thrilling.

Submitted

As soon as they said the theme is "Roles reversed," I remembered one Anti pacman game I played before, but your game is way way better than that game. Not just that it is strategical, the whole atmosphere of the game is just thrilling. I think this is fenomenal :)

Submitted

Good job, great take on the reverse roles! It's well polished, too! I was so scared when pacman got the upgrade thing that eats ghosts!

Submitted

What can we say, it's absolutely incredible.

Submitted

Really neat idea and very good execution :)

Submitted

Pretty fun game that turns pac man from a score based arcade game to a strategy game! I ran into a bug sometimes where the ghosts would shake in place for a while before moving to their location, but otherwise very polished.

Submitted

This was super fun! Loved the reverse take on Pac-Man, was very fun to strategize my ghosts!

Submitted

This is super well made, very polished, really enjoyed playing! The music gave a tense atmosphere almost felt like pacman was the bad guy.

We also considered a reverse pacman game, but yours is designed really well! I really like the strategy aspect of managing your ghosts. Very nice entry. :)

Hi. I really enjoyed this game. I thought it was a great idea creating it.

An innovative take on the classic game!

Well done! The game runs smoothly and the idea to give the ghosts different vision and speed is brilliant. Cool game!

Pacman forever!

Nice idea, and well implemented. I lost a few times without guite understanding why though

Submitted

Very simple and polished one of the better idea for this jam!

Submitted

Super cool idea, great implementation of the theme - that's what this jam was for!

Little polish is left, like the time UI is on top of the numbers for me, or the ghosts getting stuck with each other at the start, but overall a very good submission!

Submitted

Really good, it’s the exact reverse of the game.

Submitted

Really well made implementation of reverse pac man. This is exactly what I envisioned when reading the description.
