And i thought my reversed pacman was an original and bright idea! :P
Game is fast and fun, and graphics and sound are exactly what they are supposed to be. Also i liked the AI a lot (I'll ask you about it later). I cheked it and, if you don't do anything, manages to finish the game by its own.
As creator of another reversed pacman, i must say that i face the same problem: AI is too fast and chaotic that i find it hard to come with a real strategy, and at the end is more about luck to get a better score.
Great work!
Haha. Exactly my thoughts. But the first time I was going through the jam submissions, the random ordering put yours and mine right next to each other, and I was like, say what now?! :)
Anyways, I'm first to admin the game is anything but balanced. There are several parameters I can tweak with, but without a group of playtesters, there's really no point. I just know sometimes you can win, sometimes you can't!
Some notes, color selection of some fonts makes it hard to look at (yellow font color with red blinking outlines), the other ghosts is good at doing their job (good AI implementation) actually, not me. Haha. The scoring system could be changed and show the players score and not the hero. Low score 510 is not changing for me (HTML vers.) Overall, interesting approach to a Pac-Man game and it's fun to play. Good job!
Thanks for playing. The "low score" only changes if you manage to stop pacman at a lower score than the current one. It's a poke at the old school high scores the arcades usually had back in the day. This was all meant for fun, although maybe having a player score made more practical sense! 😁
Very fun! It worked just like I imagined it should.
Very well made! Not much to say, there was very good AI, you always know who's who, and it works!
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you it was apparent to you who's who, because I intended to add something to make it especially clear which ghost you're playing, but I ran out of time!
That's a very clever interpretation of the theme. The gameplay was fun and it was really interesting to be on the other side of pacman. Good submission! :)
