Nice spin-off! ;) Also fits well within the theme. I like that you made the enemies faster, gives a good difficulty challenge.

The fact that you can somewhat freely move within the lanes is not better then original pac-man in my opinion. Was this a game design decision or was this easier to program?

Developer

Thanks for playing! Didn't really have much time outside of work so definitely easier to program!

Nice pac-man variant :-)
Fun concept to use the theme on a pac-man game.
Maybe the gameplay could be a little bit more faster/smoother?
Visual and audio were good.
Overall a solid jam entry. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Nice interpitation of pac man with dark/ light element, solid entry

Developer

The sound of stunning the ghost police with your flashlight got me every time. My one thing is that the movement felt really slow. This may have something to do with my pc not doing great on webbuilds though. Completed the game with a score of 3660 no cherries. Fun lil take on pacman!

Developer

Wow that's a great score!
I'm not sure what game speed you were experiencing. Whether it was your device or it was actually too slow for you! :')
Thanks for playing!

Hey some clarification here.

I just found out that the reason all webbuilds are a little weird to play has to do with my browser, OperaGX. When playing again on Microsoft Edge just now the speed was just fine.

Developer

Oh weird!
I wrote this game in GameMaker which is owned by Opera as well! Oops!

I loved the game and think that it is a fun take on pacman.

Thank you!

No problem.

This is a fun little idea for a game. It controls well for the most part, although I do think it would play more fluidly if the flashlight was tied to the movement controls. Overall its a good game. 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Nice use of the theme and also great idea of the flashlight freezing the ghosts. The text was a bit blurry on my end, could only be me. Good job for 2 days!

Developer

Thanks for playing, fellow CM! 

Yeah converted the game to JavaScript to get it to run in browser and I didn't have time to figure out what was wrong with the font :')

Submitted

This is should be a great example game for the light and darkness theme, gameplay is straight forward. Smart use of indicator to replace traditional ui. Perhaps you could add intense sound when the ghost come closer to make player fell suspenseful.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing!
So there's the pac man ghost noise when they come close, as well as a heart beat but I think they're a little low in volume!

Submitted

This was actually intense at times. Very good use of theme.

Developer

Thanks for playing!
