I collected everything but nothing happened. Audio is crackling nightmare on html5

@floweryandy About the gameplay, it is expected since we haven't got time to make the ending for it yet :sweat_smile:. We do apologize if the audio is bad for you.

Its a bit confusing trying to figure out where i can walk and where i can't, and the combat part was also a little hard to figure out at the start. Good effort and submission tho!

Interesting remake of Pacman's gameplay, love the QTE battles triggered when you're captured!

The quick time events were fun, if not a little repetitive, nice work.

It's an interesting idea that's different from the rest of the games. The graphics are very cute. I like the idea of ​​altering the gameplay. It was nice.

I don't really see the link to the theme, but I liked the idea of having a "second" gameplay when being hit by the ghosts. The mini-game is too hard though, and it would be nice if errors would reset it or something like that.
As for the AI I can see that they're trying to predict when I'm going, which is nice, but maybe I little too much because I didn't manage to get to the left side of the room haha (skill issue on my part probably).
I didn't have any issue with audio on itch.io btw

I was able to collect everything but god damn, these guys are everywhere xD !!! It's nice to have small fight like that but I was often stuck in an fight mode because the other guys where all around me at all time and I couldn't get away xD. The sound is a little bit too loud and the differences of theme between the music between the collect mode and the fight mode is maybe too big. Appart from that it's a great game ! Good job :)

I had some difficulty understanding the fight part, but once I got it it was fun ! Nice graphics too

Fun twist on pacman! My only suggestion is that the level could be improved with less 'dead ends' and more corridors to escape down. Although the lack of escape routes does force you to take on more fights!

Pixel art is good.
True, I didn’t understand what was happening.

Well done!

Interesting idea! The tutorial is great, telling the player to treat it as pacman, that is literally what the player needed to know. Some feedback I have:

- it was not clear to me what the consequence was for pressing the wrong arrow keys while 'fighting', it took me a while to understand
- there was no ending in the sense that all tasks have been fulfilled. A simple "thanks for playing" would have been sufficient I think

Funny game, nice concept and cool art. I was however stuck in between 3 coworkers so it was an endless loop of fight mode

Cool concept and fun to play. Music is a little loud and some small bugs here and there but still pretty cool.

@wouter52 Thanks for the feedbacks. We had to rush the guide info part a bit so it was not the best we can do :smile:. Ending too. We could have a hud for available keys or something :thinking:
@nadia-pixel @wookuzi thanks for playing :smile:
