Nice art style and sounds. When I saw the cover image I thought it was a pacman clone, but It's actually quite cool!

Inverting a classic and making it fun! Quite a cool idea for sure, basic and fun all in one!

Nice idea, good effort :thumbsup:

Pac-Man as a ghost. Fun idea. Nice work!

Nice take on a reverse Pac-Man game. That intro scene was golden! Adding some extra level layouts or some powerups that you spend Pac-souls on would have been great additions.

Thanks for rating our game!

Nice one.

A fun and novel take on pacman. I liked it.

nice pacman reverse game -- i thought it was way too fast and the controls were a little too wonky -- thanks for making this

Very interesting idea! I took satisfaction while playing it. And also it has a pretty good realisation!

It's a bit harsh taking the player all the way back to level one after a death. I would've enjoyed it much more if it just restarted the current level. otherwise, i enjoyed the concept. great game.

The idea is cool, but it gets repetitive after a while. But it was fun being the villain! :D

When I saw the screenshots I instantly went on to play it! I always love a nice classic game and I wasn't disappointed :smiley: very cool game with a nice twist! Great Job

It's impossible anything related to pac-man be bad. You in other hand made not just a twist as a good game! Nice job!

> I would’ve enjoyed it much more if it just restarted the current level.

@blobo Great suggestion, that would've been much better! I'd left out the idea of "lives" to avoid confusion with the "soul-collecting", but for whatever reason didn't consider doing unlimited continues. (TBH I'm happy that anybody wanted to keep playing past one life!)

Scary orange pac-man will give me nightmares tonight!

I only made it to level 4, but it was a lot of fun! Good job.

Have no idea where is the theme implementation, sorry. Opening cut-scene is funny :) Always wanted to play as a ghost, thank you for this chance :)

Good to see that Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde haven't so cornered the market on Pac-Man game appearances as to not allow newcomers to hit the field. The intro sequence oozes with old arcade nostalgia.

Turns out a role reversed Pac-Man game is actually pretty fun. I'd have liked to see a few extra lives to play with, but otherwise the game play is solid.

It's an interesting pacman creative game. I thought of similar game ideas. I want to know what the concept of JAM is. Ghost control seems to be an important game element.
