A totally normal Pacman

In terms of fun, it's appreciable at most, I mean it's mostly Mario in a Pacman environment, it could feel like a smaller Pacman going random just to add Pop culture references. In terms of innovation, it uses mostly known characters and "electric perturbation" resulting in an instability isn't uncommon. It follows the "Unstable" theme quite well even though it seems more like "Chaos", maybe a little more instability would have been good like turning the game more and more into 1's and 0's. In terms of graphics, they seem for the most part to be already existing graphics so no comment. In terms of audio, balance seems quite good expect for the gun sound that is way too loud. In terms of mood, it's standard at most and then it turns into chaos more than into "Unstable". Overall, it's nice for a Ludum Dare but a bit disappointing for a "game". Feels a lot like a cheap game you would find on Newgrounds.

Pretty cool idea with decent exectution. Shouldn't the enemies die when I jump on them as Mario though?

@connor-magson Yeah that would make more sense

I like the transition from pac-man to mario! I also made a pac-man-inspired game, so thumbs-up for that :)

The controls are a bit floaty, the assets not that original... But other than that, you made a creative platformer entry.

fun game, I definitely didn't expect that. the game is extremely on theme

I like the shift in style, it almost becomes like a pachinko game with the pellets falling down. I enjoyed messing around with it though and didn't experience any bugs. The artwork isn't exactly original as you are playing as pacman and mario on pacman stages. Thanks for makin it though!

Wow:smile:...pretty unstable. Very much follows the theme. Good job!

I appreciate the use of an external framework, the graphics I have no comment on that, but I do like the idea of the game, I had a little problem with some of the controls, but really good job for 3 days

A very entertaining interactive joke that I thoroughly enjoyed. Only got to the bit with da janky hitboxes, so I don't know how much goodness I missed out on.

Silly idea and a cool take on the genre-shift type of game. I like the idea of random game enemies invading and having to avoid them, the enemies were pretty dumb though honestly and didn't pose much of a threat! I liked the visuals though and the lightning effects, game felt solid overall.
