everything about this just works so perfectly together to make it extremely funny, i couldn't stop laughing while playing.

I like playing this one, the replayability is fun. The only little side feedback: it feels a bit luck based. In some games Pacman gets eaten right away, in others I can play for a much longer time. Still nicely done. You should try to cell the concept to the pacman makers :smiley:

This is awesome! Does Pacman go for the nearest dot? It's fun to figure out how to control Pacman through the dots so that he avoids ghosts.

Definitely an interesting take on the concept. I enjoy anytime a game is taken and turned on its head like this. I couldn't get little Pac Man to avoid those ghosts long enough, but keep up the creativity! Style was pretty neat looking as well.

clever and interesting take on a classical game, and well executed. Tingles the brain.

A very unusual game — I have never seen this before, and I’ve seen a lot of Pacman variations over the years. I suppose each dot is a tiny creature — an interesting twist on the theme. I just wish I had more control over Pacman himself. Even so, very imaginative.

Ha! A really funny take on the theme.

I like how the dots move at the exact same speed as pacman, so you need to strategically take a different route rather than just follow him.

Sometimes the pacman AI is tragically bad at avoiding the ghosts, but perhaps it's a skill issue on my behalf by not feeding pacman all the dots faster.

Cool game!

Cool game, bro! Love the simple concept of controlling dots to feed Pacman. It's fun and refreshing—great work! My only feedback is: I won one time but I imediatelly pressed a button, so I don't know waht the win message is LOL

Wrong theme but pretty impressive idea and implementation, this must have required some brain power.

Super neat concept! A little challenging at times when Pacman for me would instantly spawn and be taken out by the ghosts, but a super interesting take regardless! Managed to beat it and I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing!

This is a real cool idea :) I had very much fun controlling the dots^^

I did not see this coming when I saw "Reverse Pacman"

drludos 2024-10-19 12:16

Woaw, this is a brilliant concept, I love it! The idea is very fun to play, and it's not so easy to feed the pacman before the ghost get him!

This is a very good entry, congrats!

I didn't see the controls and first and was thinking if Reverse Packman was some kind of a joke.Then I figured them out and I found a really innovative take on the reference Game (and the theme, ofc).

Great execution too. Congrats!!

A creative idea! The inspired background of Pac-Man makes it lose a bit of originality, but it compensates with humor, a fun change of expectation and a stupendous fun gameplay originality. At first, I thought we were controlling the ghosts, but the final idea ends up being much more creative. And overall, It is a good compo game; well done!
