This game was pretty fun. Though it seems a bit.. endless. Can the ghost ever win?

Overall, pretty good. I like the replayability of the game, and that each map is completely random. It just feels a little bit empty. Maybe adding different types of guard, possibly a conveyor belt-type tile, anything to spice it up a bit more. It's really fun, but only for 10 or so minutes.

Darn humas, why can't you just leave a "ghost" monster alone to collect his energy orbs in peace.

Quite fun

Nice maze game and game-play itself is good

I really liked the light mechanic. Some form of indication on where the energy orbs are would've nice i think because it feels a bit disappointing if you just wander around trying to find an energy orb to survive.

@DarkCart You win when finding all the orbs.
@Juin There is an arrow in the top left corner pointing to the closest orb.

Controls felt good. It's impressive that you worked in the customization and randomness so well!

Good game, sadly it closed itself at some point.
It's like a new Pacman where you don't see the whole map.
I liked it, but the maze itself looks a but empty.

With more polishing in level generation and some tweaks to enemies AI, could be much better, but well done! The "compass" is a nice touch!

Crazy game %)

Finished it.
Feels a bit like pacman, and the customisable options are nice.

Love SFML too, great job using it. Also randomizer is nice, adds to replayability a lot.

As an AZERTY keyboard user, I'm really grateful for QZSD mode, as it doesn't force me to switch keyboard layout settings.
The game was quite intuitive. Really liked the fact that your levels are procedurally generated.

i love how the ghost will always be a ghost in the end. You never can win. Fun game. Love the theme implementation.

I liked the fact you could customize the settings in the beginning, would've loved if there was a scoring system, maybe something that integrated with the settings I've selected?

nice little compo entry, may there are only a few features, they work solid. i suppose implementing the map generator has taken your time. I'd welcome some mechanic to counter the humans

Goob job on the game.

Fun game. Kind of challenging at times.

megasdragos1 2015-09-08 13:28

Pretty good! It's a bit hard because of the many enemies that spawns but after all it's a great game!

tweedle 2015-09-14 20:58

Sweet game! It's almost like a reverse Pac-Man, with you being the ghost instead.
The level customization adds TONS of replayability. Really cool stuff!
