Awesome game! I never thought that Pacman could be so scary! With the fog of war, you never knew where he was gonna come from. Very nice!!!

Thank you so much for participating in the Week Sauce game jam! I really love role-reversals, and adding a twist to classic video games, so this one is totally up my alley. The fog of war makes this so intense! When you get the powerup that removes it suddenly the game feels easy, but the moment it reappears and you don't know where Pac-man is hiding, it makes everything so much more interesting. Bravo! Hope you participate again in the jam and I get to play more of your creations.

Thanks for your answer. and i also loved to participate in the jam.
I think i will really join in the future. This jam was the kickstart that i needed. Just jamming without any pressure! I love the jam

Such a great and fun concept!! I think the powerup icons could be a little clearer, especially the one that removes fog of war temporarily (I initially thought I couldn’t use powerups anymore because it appears as a big red x in the powerups box). With some polish and more levels this could be really fun, and even a cool multiplayer game!

Thanks for the great idea!
Tbh  i already start working on a lan game from the idea.
I build it from scratch. but for now it seems a bit too difficult for me why i am slowly losing interest in the game idea. So i will keep it but will take a long while

A multiplayer version would be awesome! I know multiplayer is always the most feared thing in indie game dev but I believe in you!!

I liked this quite a bit. I think I like it better than playing actual PacMan :D Felt really solid and mostly fair. I'd love to see the effects of the powerups be a little more obvious (maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention but it took me a few times to figure out what the apple/shield was doing). Great job!
