A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Have you ever wondered what it would be like for PAC-MAN's hunger to never be satisfied? Well, in these procedurally generated levels, you will never quite collect every pellet that exists, though you may try to consume as many as possible. How long can you out manoeuvre the constant stream of ghosts before your inevitable demise?

This uses original 80s PAC-MAN sprites to retain the arcade feel. It's quite fast paced with AI ghosts closing in every step with little time to react when they cross your path. The aim is to get as many points as possible before a ghost catches you, with pellets, power pellets, and cherries providing these points. Utilising the power pellet combo is the fastest way to obtain points, as the points gained from each ghost killed will increase with each subsequent kill, within the power pellet duration.

Also, there are some game rules you can unlock to change things up a bit. Other than that, there's not much else to it, so have fun!

This was originally made in a two day game jam at Warwick Game Design, and it has been worked for additional time afterwards for a few new features, and a polished itch.io upload.

the game has potential to be very fun but needs to be more polished. after a level is clear, it should go to a new level instead of ending. the game is very unforgiving with only one life and in multiplayer often one player died right at start because he spawned close to a ghost.

this is an awesome game! could use some more work tho...

is it multiplayer??????????????

There is local multiplayer with up to 4 players, where you can play as either pacman or a ghost. Just use arrows keys, or an additional controller to add another player (Pressing anything on player select with the extra arrow keys/controller should add another player).
