Ranked from 5 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How much time was taken?
Went about 15-20 minutes over in total

Use of theme?
I used the "novel twist on classic game" theme by creating a pac-man like game and giving players the ability to dash through ghosts. However, the game does get harder by increasing the speed of enemies as you progress. This mechanic makes use of the "Negative Feedback Loop" theme

Use of diversifiers?
I used no diversifiers

Did you have fun?

Yes

Definitely

Absolutely!!

Hi!
It's a pretty nice game. It's pretty difficult for me though....
It's tough to move around a bit and you get stuck in some corners. The AI could be improved a bit. Constantly keeping them moving towards you makes them pretty predictable but considering you have many pathways with only one opening, it makes it difficult to avoid them.

Developer

thank you for your feedback! The AI does definitely leave a lot to be desired, and I do still need to implement proper AI waypoints, as I am just using unity's default navmesh system. Thank you for the tips on the map as well because I really struggle with this aspect of game design. (:

Sometimes the controls bug and I can't move anymore. Also there doesn't seem to be a way to win since the enemy is moving directly towards you (shortest path) and the map doesn't provide ways of evading them.

I have not run into this bug yet, but thank you for bringing it to my attention! I am always trying to improve on my skills and your feedback is appreciated. I am aware that I need to make changes to the AI as well, and add some form of randomness to their movements.
