This game was excellent. The concept is very original and quite a bit of fun. I like that it can be executed so simply (it doesn't take many instructions or controls) and that it can use such simple graphics, but still look excellent.
Clever idea! Cool graphics and a good use of the theme.
The wizard is the worst. I really hate that guy.
If you are going to work on it some more, I suggest keeping track of how long it takes the king to finish his list to use as a potential score. (Otherwise your game might be nothing more than a tedious distraction.)
I KNEW this game was going to be great. You never see Pac-Man mechanics show up in games these days, but it's mostly because devs can't seem to figure out plausible reasons to have their characters being chased down corridors. You absolutely nailed the gameplay, the art, and the under-represented obverse meaning of the theme. Make an iPhone version of this immediately, sell it for a dollar, and I anticipate you'll be a trillionaire by springtime.
You really nailed the concept there!
i liked this a lot. nice use of the theme and i liked the tiny sprites. fun to play too
Good take on Pac-Man mechanics. I enjoyed playing this.
That's really fun. At first it seemed like the subjects could find me too easily, but once you notice that you can hide in the colored rooms, it's about right.
Amazing game! I am really fond of your cute sprite graphics! I loved the game and would love to see more done to it! Fantastic!
Interesting idea, I can easily see this turned into a time management game like Diner Dash or something even better!
Awesome sprites and a really neat concept of the game! Great coffe-break gameplay. Sometimes I got some minor problems with controls (hard to turn exactly where I wanted), but nothing game-breaking.
great fun
cute concept.
This was really freakin' clever. Good job! Now I'm gonna go play the new version.
Nice idea... or I should probably say nice implementation of the idea a lot of entries used usually with quite bad results. (probably most innovative and quite playable).
This is a delightful concept! I do wish you'd succeeded in getting sound put together for this entry, but even without sound it is really nice! I did see some bugs here and there, mostly relating to the subjects mysteriously teleporting around, but I also found on in which the wizard decided to move from his room to the left. forever. He passed through walls on his way out of the world.
