Really neat update on Pac-Man! Feels tense (which is a good thing!), and I really like the art style!
Fun little game. I really enjoyed the feeling of acceleration as you fly through the worlds, though I don't know if that was actually there or if it just felt like it. However the enemies being the same colour as the collectables was a problem.
This was super funny :) Thanks!
So your instructions say use arrow keys, but the game seems to be WASD? Also, while i was trying to figure out the controls, pressing space did some really weird stuff. Teleported me into columns.
Once I got going tho, the game was fun, I especially enjoyed your slowdown effect.
Sorry for the controls error, I changed on the description already, thanks Riocide!
Very cool, it feels like a mix of Packman and Sonic. Unfortunately I couldn't beat even one of the maps, because my guy kept getting stuck in intersections or randomly turning. It happened more at the high speeds. Not sure it you could even reliably win at those speeds, with human reflexes (although the little 'I'm about to die' slow mo helps a lot).
Very cool reimagining of an old game.
Very impressive entry
I enjoy it even if it's a bit too hard to see where the enemies are and you always die because you didn't saw it..
Also the "connection" between worlds is only because the levels are like worlds.. Not really a connection..
Except that is still very fun game to play and I like the style.
Very pretty game! Fresh take on a classic genre. Great job!
Nice pac-man update. I really like the speed forgiving slowdown when going too fast and running into a ghost. That was a great design touch.
Awesome riff on pacman - really great graphics and cool sound.
really like the speed you move around the worlds. music fits well too.
Great art style as many peoples already say and very fun game ;)
To resume great entry :)
Good audio and clean art, as others have said the difficulty comes not from being hunted by the AI but from stumbling into them because they don't stand out enough, but the slowdown from Pacman Championship Edition helps and the sensation of flying around a sphere is fun.
Very different game! Really nice use of PAC-MAN style!
Great game!
Most epic pacman under the sun!
That music is catchy as hell.
Cool adaption of Pacman, with a few minor issues, like hard to make out enemies and some getting stuck in the wall here and there.
Some blocking on intersections occured but generally neat mechanics. Great job :)
Nice, Sphere Pacman!
Very nice game. Classic arcade in full 3D. A+++
Never seen anyone trying bring Pacman to 3D! Good job on this one - it looks really great!
Really cool version of pacman, great graphics and music. My only issues are that it's difficult to see enemies and it's easy to get yourself accidentally killed.
I like the graphic style, simple and complex at the same time, it works well.
Regarding the gameplay, the transition to the 3D view brings some more orientation to remember where are the pills, it makes it more nervous maybe.
Nice work, really fun to play. Also the graphic is pretty good.
It's an intresting concept with pac-man in a sphere but aside from looking cool it's pretty frustrating to not see that much of the map and plan around it. Also got stuck on terrain a lot...
I love the pace of this. Audio is neat as well.
Next-gen pacman! Never actually played pacman, so it was very exciting for me!
Nice game ! The music is great, I like the slow-down effect to avoid collisions
This was really funny and fast game for me! Some glitches with getting stuck but it can be played swiftly anyway. And the best part - the music :D
Very funny!
Lovely little game.
Some of the enemies are a bit difficult to see
Very nice audio, and visuals!
The music and sound effects make this game so fun, particularly when you're travelling really fast and you can eat the enemies. The graphics are great too, nice work!
This game was fun, but it's a little hard to see the enemies because they're the same color as the little collectible bits.
Really nice!
Gameplay worked well and it's a cool take on pacman style gameplay.
The sphere shape makes it annoying to see where enemies are, but this is kinda fixed by how the game plays slower in the beginning.
bookmarked ;)
Cool game.
This was awesome! I really love the music!
I like it as a game a lot, though it might be disconnected from the theme for me. I especially like how time slows when near enemies.
Great twist on pac man. I had some pathing issues, like not able to go where I thought I should be able to, but maybe there is a rule in place I didn't know about. Great job.
I am not a big fan of pac man but this was pretty enjoyable.
cool little version of pacman, it shows how much effort you put into it.
Love the music, and it looks great!
Nice spin on the pac man formula! Loved the slo-mo cam before losing, and the speed changes mid-level. Great job!
What a cool take on the pacman style. I like how it slowed down right as you hit an enemy. Nice mechanics, nice style.
Haven't played pacman for a long time. Was fun.
Nice entry! But this is super hard! :D
It has enough going for it to make it more than just a 3D Pac-Man. The slowdown right before hitting an enemy is cool, as is the gradual speed-up. It feels a bit flashy, though, and the main menu is confusing.
I got stuck in some areas, but overall I had fun, especially when things started speeding up as you eat more dots.
The graphics were very nice and it just felt good flying around each sphere world.
One Word - Awesome
This is pretty awesome work! I can totally imagine it as a fully fledged game.
Great take on a dot muncher - great idea and generally well executed ! Wrapping everything round a sphere with variable height walls really changes the dynamics, since planning is harder due to the limited visibility, but not impossible. Sort of puts it somewhere between Pac-man and 3-demon, I guess. Other have mentioned the slowdown feature also - great design. Loved the music - but I don't think it quite fits the visual theme. Glitch-wise, I did find the occasional corner where I got stuck and could turn but not move. Might have been the result of some key mashing (PS, I'd love to play this on my OUYA :) )
I really like this but I'm totally rubbish at it! I especially like that you gain speed even though because of that I'm incapable of finishing any level :'D Gotta work on the collisions a bit as sometimes I got stuck into corners
Cool adaption of an old classic. Great graphics and sound. Bit hard to see the ghosts sometimes when they are the same colour as the pellets. Well done though, really nice game!
Awesome, fun to play, great mod of the pacman type of game, good gfx, great fitting energetic music + sound, loved it.
The movement is a bit buggy though as i got stuck several times, but thumbs up, good job!
That was really neat actually. I oddly enjoyed the music.
Nice idea realized on an old game !!!
Hi Hyoga, could you tell me what browser you're running on? I'll have a look into the loading bug then.
Okay, it looks like IE doesn't support ogg audio. I'd recommend you use Chrome or Firefox to run any other HTML5 projects here, since IE is not exactly the best at implementing web standards. If I get a workaround set up I'll post again.
I've hacked in support for mp3 audio fallback, have fun! :)
This is very impressive. I have no idea who you completed something this complex in such a short time
5 stars in Audio- this music is awesome!
Having Pacman-like gameplay on a sphere is brilliant! Love the abstract art style as well. My only issues were that it was a little hard (I've tried many times), and the game seems to slow down a lot when the player is close to an enemy.
NiiiiiiiiiIIiiicce..!
I like the slow-motion when you are close to enemies
@Jishenaz The slow when you are close to enemies is na effect so you get the chance to run.
To all of you, thanks for your feedback, we are really happy that you enjoyed our game, thanks a lot!
This is a great entry! I do miss the ability to quickly eyeball the screen and figure out where enemies are like in Pacman cause then I can plan my route. Maybe a mini-map or radar feature would work well here.
Very cool take on Pacman. I like it!
I love this 3D pac man game. Extremely fun. Seemed to lag a bit when I got close to the "ghosts" - not sure if that was intentional or not, but saved my life a few times! Slow-mo time.
Navigating that initial menu didn't make sense, but once I got in game it was fun. I really liked the slow down effect when the enemies got near.
I definitely felt the pacman vibe and playing when you can't see the whole board is definitely an interesting twist.
Gotta mimic the other commenters. Great riff on Pacman, really fun take on it. Love the glow on the character too, looks real nice in general actually.
Great game. Fun but kind of hard to tell where I'm supposed to go when you can't see the entire board. Also not sure what the main outer board is. Great game all around tho.
nice clean and neat style!
like other's have said it's like a mix between pacman and sonic haha.
it was a little hard noticing the enemies sometimes tho, and there was some unobtainable dots(for me atleast. i think it was a bug tho)
Nice reuse of pacman gameplay, good gfx and sounds.
Nice 3D twist on pacman. Good game, original and fun.
I really enjoy the game. Nice music, but very intrusive sounds.
@Hyoga-3D Thanks for telling me. I didn't realize that was an important feature. I can see how that's useful when the player goes really fast.
It's like pac-man, but faster and spherical :D
Nice work!
Pacman is hard. Your game is hard. It's a good version of Pacman.
The controls were really good. Fun game, but a bit hard as you don't really have time to react to the enemies. Good thing with the slowdown, but I think it should have slowed down even more.
Great work!
very nice, the only problem is that the slowdown looks like a bug at first, but then is cool if you realize what it is.
would you mind, making a linux build?
@r0x0r can you answer one question of mine, can't you play the game in a web browser on Linux ? If no I will try to export for Linux.
REALLY lovely - visually interesting, solid gameplay. I could definitely being developed into something bigger! Great work!
@r0x0r Now you can try it, we made a version for Linux now, but I can't test it since I don't have linux, but I think it should work.
wasn't sure what was happening at the beginning with the splash screen but fun game.
Nice entry. Very nice take on updating PacMan. Nice visual style and movement. Not sure I like the slowing down when you get near an enemy. I'm sure it was done for fairness and due to speed. I may prefer slower/smaller levels, vs that effect? Great job on this.
Love the spherical worlds, nice riff on sci-fi pacman. The slow motion effect when near an enemy is a nice idea but I don't think it's smooth enough or long enough to react and dodge.
Dammit, such a good entry! Good work, really addictive.
Lol... Pac-man on a sphere.
fantastic art style, I really like the level select screen
Frenetic. Good rhythm game, good music! Good job!
The perspective kind of made me dizzy a little, but it was fun overall. I liked that it slowed down time when the enemies got too close so that you could make last-minute saves!
Really fun, maybe a life system would be nice, kinda sucks to have to start over after a death...
a fun challenge really polished and wel executed, my only pet peeve is that the wolrd being round, the enemies are really hard to spot in time, I think the game should have more visibility to give more time to evade enemies.
I like the dark, retro feel the levels have. The music is upbeat and matches the gameplay in a great way. It sure is a complete game! Good work! :)
A refreshing revisit of pac-man. The controls felt nice and the graphics were quite good considering the time constraints. Great work!
That was intense!
Wow! Planetaary packman looking very and very intersting! Buggy movement, but this one pretty cool!
Interesting take on Pac-man! Loved the aesthetic!
Impressive aesthetic and super fun to play!
Pretty nice update on pac-man. The bullet time when you're about to hit a ghost was a very neat detail. It gave you time to escape and looked cool.
I just had a minor grip with the controls. They didn't seem very responsive and I seem to have got stuck a couple of times.
Great job overall.
Great update of classic game. Controls are not responding properly, sometimes it is impossible to turn on some junctions or just cannot commence movement in some direction when stopped
Spherical variation of Pac-Man is quite a neat idea. Like the art style too.
I love how fast paced it is! This is simply a very fun game with cool music! As it is such an uptempo and happy game, I'd love to see it with some more colours. The slow-motion effect was a nice touch for making it possible to avoid enemies, but as it only increased the delay between frames it could be mistaken for an fps drop. Consider making it smoother by actually slowing everything down, not just increasing frametime.
Nice work, this game put me in a good mood! :D
HaHaHa~ Nice use of the theme,there are too many "big-data" startup these days. The gameplay is fun, innovate upon pac-man in a spherical environment. Well done!
Wonderful style! I found it pretty hard to see enemies coming, especially at high speed, so the gameplay became fairly reaction-based.
Really weird, I've been imagining a 3D pacman but I haven't imagined it like this :) Super super fun, nicely executed.
The connected worlds thing feels a bit bolted-on, but I'll forgive that; I love it!
I quite enjoyed it but it lacked some challenge. Interesting look though. Could be cool to play on touch devices with swipe controls.
It's a very good pacman-like in 3d. It's really funny
wow, great take on pacman, very smootha nd fast paced, great entry!
I like the creativity of the concept, though it's much harder than the original due to the difficulty of seeing the "ghosts" in time to react.
3D pacman <3 like the graphics...
nice undate of pacworld! cool entry!
Great game, reminded me of the hours I used to spend playing Pac-Man.
Cool game! I loved the graphics. Definitely a nice update to Pac-Man. The ghosts rarely seemed to chase me but maybe I just didn't notice. I also loved the music! Good job!
Nice take on a classic. My only complaints are the difficulty, the characters getting stuck in the corners and the near-death-slowdown feeling laggy.

Very good entry. Very dynamic.
It might be better also with arrows keyboard control because I have a French keyboard... impossible to play correctly.
Very cool game, great looking and quite enjoyable. The only thing I noticed that can be improved is that is hard to see the enemies, and they may be already on you with no escape options, because of the spherical world
I get some Pac-man vibes from this. Not bad ^^.
Nice to play
I love the concept, but the close camera angle make it hard to react, and some parts of the spheres are all in shadow / gray so you can't tell where the walls are. The slow motion is cool.
Awesome take on pacman, love the slowdown when you're near an enemy, makes it way easier to evade. Nice work!
Super cool take! I included it in part 26 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/hvOt_bkuFkM
Cool take on the Pac-man formula. Was a little confused first time through on what would kill me or not. Nice entry!
