ive been following this game's progress for quite a bit now... im so excited i finally get to play it.
the amount of stuff in this is actually Insane. even with this just being a demo at the moment , im going to have to spend a ton of time sinking my teeth into all the different mazes... the effort you put into this is really great.
i do have a Little bit of feedback to give, though i imagine my issues are only due to this being an incomplete demo. my main issue is with the music, which. i Love that this has a ton of music (including every song from the CE games, which are my favorite), but i have two problems: for one, it doesnt seem you can create playlists, which i Know exist with the arrangement mazes specifically, and i know theres text in the UI that says you can enter a 'music list', but it doesnt seem to be functional. which, for the demo is fine, but i hope youll be able to create custom playlists through it later down the line.
another music problem is... i wish thered be a mode where you can have the music not be cut off at the end of the maze, having it either loop continuously Or have it switch to a new song in a playlist. it kind of hurts the CE music, since those songs have 10 minute long versions which cant really be used here because of how the music gets reset at the end of a maze... i wish i could listen to the entirety of Pac Step in this, but alas.
one last suggestion regarding music, though it isnt really necessary. perhaps you could allow for implementing custom music as well? just as an option, as theres non-pacman music that i like to listen to when playing arcade games. you dont have to include it though.
the last bit of feedback i have is regarding the CE mazes. i got really excited when i found the CE1 maze in the freeplay menu, but was a bit disappointed to find it only follows the CE2 rules , with only one fruit that appears to enter a new maze. this doesnt really work with the CE1 maze design, however, as the layout of those mazes are built around the 2 fruits which change each side of the maze. it'd be nice to have the CE games be their own mode in this, with each of their different mechanics and mazes represented, as ithink each of them have their own merits (it'd also be nice to have the score attack timer from those games also... aswell as the ability to listen to the full length songs from those games). I dont think it's a problem with the demo, since there's already a Ton of stuff here, but. for the final game, it'd be nice to have i think.
actually. i do have one last bit of feedback... it'd also be nice to be able to choose what sound effects are used as well. i prefer the sound effects from the CE games, so being able to use those anywhere would be nice.
that's all i have to say for now. youve done a lot of excellent work on this game, im really excited to play more of it later. i really look forward to what you do for the final release...
