Awesome !!  :D

This was a very nice, relaxing game with cute visuals. I music was particularly nice, and I liked watching the blobs bounce around :)

The visual design is quite nice. However, it was a little small and hard for me to see. When I entered fullscreen mode, I noticed most of the edges around the walls and coins looked awkwardly jagged, and there were some green pixels along the bottom of the wall texture. Making the background a darker color would be easier on the eyes.

I was unsure how the jam's theme came into play until I read the game's description. Maybe a simple UI showing the coins collected and coins needed could be added. This also might be bugged, as I still had to collect all the coins to win even after dying several times.

Using the mouse to control felt good and added to the relaxation I felt playing the game. Nice job!

Would have loved some sound fx (for coins or death for example). Also I kind of feel like I need luck rather than skill to collect all coins, the red slimes just overwhelm the map and just trap me. I would have preferred fewer enemies but with path finding. On the other hand I really liked the controls and the visuals with the isometric map, great job all in all :)

A simple but good new interpretation of pacman.

Visuals are super cool, game looks gorgeous! For me indicator showing how much more coins I need to collect (or how many I can skip) is a must, there is no way to immediately feel progress after failure without it. Music is very nice, sound effects for collecting coins would be great though :) Controlling your character with a mouse works surprisingly well! Cute and beautiful game, good job!

Very good artwork and polishing in animations, it was fun playing it. One suggestion if you need feedback, add some sort of teleportation in map, like pacman, you can go out on one end and popup from other. good luck for jam! :)

Lovely little game. Nice art; it's cute; it's polished. I enjoyed playing it, thanks.

But in regards to the theme, I think it's not a smart interpretation, because most if not all games get harder the closer you are to winning!

Failing reduces the number of coins to be collected in the next try. So failure leads to progress but only in the next try. Perhaps that should have been made to be a bit clearer. But thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
