I wasn't expecting the car chase, that was an interesting second phase to the game. Good work
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am glad you liked the game. I would suggest you to play some more, there are other endings as well that you might wanna check out
Packing so many endings in such a small game is so satisfying. Great job!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am glad you liked playing it!
I really enjoyed the game and getting different endings was really satisfying. My favorite endings were the Rich ending and Secret ending.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am really glad people are exploring by themselves and finding different endings.
Got way more than I expected! Great art and dialogue/story
To improve it, maybe tell the player to collect ~20 coins to open the exit rather than all of them. And if they collect all of them, they get a bonus.
Also, some parts can easily be missed (like becoming a traitor) meaning players will miss out on the full game, which would be a shame
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
That was my intention tbh. I want to give the players a surprise when they clear the first level. After that, it is upto them how far are they willing to go. You can take the normal routes and get the normal endings, but the game rewards you for trying out something different and you can get more interesting endings.
You are right people might miss out on some endings, but again, easter eggs are meant to be secret. You need to think out of the box to find them.
I might upload a walkthrough document/video after the jam for people who might have missed some things and want to get the complete experience.
Wow! How did you manage to do all this in just 9 hours?
I like it very much.
Hehe thanks!
It's just experience and a little bit of paper designing before starting coding.
HOLY SHIT THEY JUST SHOT THUG PACMAN! I think I know who's gonna win this jam
Hahaha lmao
I am glad you liked the game XD
This is just an amazing game! I'm baffled how you managed to pull that off in 9 hours! Awesome stuff, really blown away
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am glad you liked the game :D
Very fun game and multiple endings is a very hard thing to manage in just 9 hours! wish I could see the bullet when shooting but this game is really fun. plus adding a gun to a randmo character will always make it better.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah.....I might have made the bullet a bit too fast lol
And yes you are right, guns always make the game better. I wish somebody else made a game about a classic game character with guns...like Kirby XD.
Cool game!
Multiple gameplay styles in a jam game was not expected but very welcome! I see a lot of ways this could go with even more polish!
Great job keep it up!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I am glad you liked the game. This is my biggest project as of now so I will try to polish it as much as I can!
So cool, and so unexpected after the first part. Some sounds will make it awesome indeed. The visuals are perfect with that 1-bit style and gameplay is great, controls seem nicely responsive to me, and these multiple endings are the icing on the cake ! Great work
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
After the jam ends, I will add sounds and a little improvements here and there. Be sure to check it out!
I am glad you liked the game :)
Got around to try your game now as well. :)
I always like the idea to infuse simple classic games like Pac Man with a story. And this story even has multiple endings, good job on that.
The Controls felt a tad unresponsive but nothing too bad.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah...couple of people are having a little problem with the controls, I was going to make it better, but eh time constraints...
You could hold the direction key beforehand. It will move perfectly that way.
This is good fun and plays really nicely, however I think it needs to be a little more lenient when it comes to accepting inputs as occasionally that was frustrating. Another big thing is that, if you are going to specifically tell the player that should be trying again to get all the endings, then make that possible in the game. It was very annoying to get an ending and then have to refresh the page to start again instead of getting 'ending 2, press R to restart' or whatever.
I also killed all the cops, got all the coins and exited. Then I got the "Don't let him get away" and nothing happened. I tried pressing space and the arrows but nothing so I was left being unsure if I'd found an ending or if the game had bugged out which was unsatisfying. It would be nice if we could be told "ending number 1" or something so that it's clear we managed to do something
Hi! Thanks for the feedback
The endings depend on your every choice that's why I had to reset it to the beginning for every playthrough.
Did you try pressing 'Z' for the text? I put it in the controls section. I'll explain the controls in a better way so it's easier to understand.
Resetting it to the beginning is fine but it would be nice to have a button for it instead of having to refresh the page.
I did not press Z, I forgot that was an option. Maybe have a small prompt in screen to help with this. i am definitely excited to try again though
You don't need to refresh the page....just press R when at any ending, and it will take you to the beginning again lol
I was going to add popup screens in the end for multiple screens, but again...time constraints...
Ahhh I see where the confusion is now, you didn't press the Z key when you got an ending, and you didn't read the rest of the text. I have written which end you got and "Press R to restart" in every ending.
Great game!
A little suggestion: may be give player some more miliseconds to change direction on turns in labyrinth? Sometimes it gets frustrated when you think that you pressed button in time, but Robman "ignores" input.
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I was going to implement a hold variable, but due to time constraint I chose not to do that to add more content to the game. You can hold the arrow keys to make it move so it doesn't ignore the input.
PS: try to collect all the coins, there is more to it than just pacman :)
I'll definetely play it more after I get trough as many submissions as I can =)
nice little twist on classic pacman :) I must admit I didn't do too well - I kept trying to kill the cops and getting caught ;) good job!
Hi! Thanks for the feedback!
I would suggest you to keep trying and collect all the coins. There is so much more to it than just pacman.
I like the secret ending ;) but SO annoyed I still got shot on sight after I spent 10 minutes getting past the pacman stage without killing anyone! I couldn't beat the car chase or the "traitor" path - and it takes WAY too long to do the pacman stage 😅 also you get caught behind corners, which sucks 😉 I've increased your rating lol, there's loads more content there than I was expecting!
Yeah, I should have made the pacman stage a bit shorter, I'll see if I can still update the game, I can increase the speed at least.
