Thank you so much everyone for enjoying my game! I know it's full of flaws and far from flawless, but you all find such a fun-filled way to point them out and give constructive feedback! Thank you all! BTW, I just posted the video on how I made this game on my youtube channel, so you can check it out and maybe my other videos here:

Thank you for your feedback!
As for missing out on extras and not being able to clear the screen - one strategy is to lure the ghosts to one side of the maze and then go through the edge to appear on the other side. If you've already tried that, my only other advice is to avoid the ghosts, and wait for them at the expense of time.
As for easter eggs...

Thank you for your feedback! I originally wanted to add some of the things you mentioned, but I ended up not having time! Thanks for playing though!
I would like to answer the questions you had in your comment, so here I go. I do think that you made some interesting points though, some things I should probably try to add in future games if I have time:
- The cursor is for clicking the buttons, like the quit button or navigating the menu.
- The game is meant to be fast paced and retro-y so I didn't add a pause functionality.
- I don't usually add volume changers to my game because I figure most people have key-binds for it.
- It does display the lives of pac-man on the right of the screen.
- I am planning to make a video about how I made this game, and I did get the music from somewhere else. I had considered making my own music, but I wanted to spend my time working on other aspects of the game, and I had already found that cool soundtrack.
For the problem of the lives counter -- Did you fullscreen the game? That may have been the reason you couldn't see the lives counter. This could be a big problem for players and me since I spent a long time implementing it :P
Edit - When I play the game, I can see the life counter in the top right
Oh and one more thing: -... --- - - --- -- / .-.. . ..-. - / -.-. --- .-. -. . .-. / -- . -. ..-
Oh, and one more more thing: I want to play your game, but I only have a mac! If you upload a webgl build in the future also more people will get to play it. Although I don't know what game engine your using so I'm not sure if that's an option. Anyway, the description makes it look fun!
1. Fair enough, I totally forgot about the quit-button. My mistake . . .
2. I get that, but stuff like that is a general quality-of-life addition
3. That is true, but I once again appeal the point of general QOL
4. Either I didn't notice or there was a bug. I will replay this game just to make sure (EDIT: Yeah, I can see the lives now. My bad . . .)
5. That is fair enough! Regardless 'tis a great addition ~
6. I did fullscreen the game . . .
7. What do ya mean with bottom-left corner menu? Unless you mean the ability to take the game off fullscreen
8. I've made two games. CattleRun's build is broken, but do check out Dokka! Dokka is embedded to browser, so you don't even need to download it! ^_^

Do you mean that the ghosts seem to just be hanging around the remaining orbs? I'm glad to hear that you are experiencing weird movement! At least for me, that's one of the things that I love about physics-based games. Thank you for the feedback!
By the way, I thought your game was scary. I'm guessing that was the goal? :) so good job
