Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

"It's Just A PacMan Game", alternatively, you can call it "Gelbeeck" but that name will be used for something else.


 Basically collect ALL the dots/Gelbeeck's Nutrition and you'll learn how to win.


5 identical stages

1-2 hours of playtime excluding Stage 5, it's quite unpredictable.


 Controls Instructions are in-game.


The big dots create more ghosts Eat all the small dots first in order to make the ghosts eatable. You only have a limited time to eat them which is indicated by the "intimidation" timer. When all Ghosts and Big dots have been consumed, you win the stage.

I suggest downloading the standalone version on my itch.io as it works better.

Okay, there's not much special about this game. Outside of aesthetics, I think mechanically, there are two things that are different but I still enjoyed making this. I definitely did not have the time to be original and I'll admit I could have done a few things better but this game was already taking up too much of my time. My eyes hurt , I'm lacking hours of sleep and I have forgotten how to engage in social interaction haha.


This PacMan Clone was meant to test the idea for another PacMan Clone. I didn't really want to make this game but after finishing the basic PacMan stuff, I felt I could add a tiny bit more and make a small mini-game for the next 3 days and just share it. That was 3 weeks ago :|


Irregardless of errors and stuttering, I hope you enjoy the game. Also I made a youtube video just to showcase the gameplay.

At most, over 200 people have opened the game and I'm amazed how you guys are so willing to give things a try. Thanks Newgrounds.

c o o l a e s t h e t i c s Pretty cool, but it's just an impossible pacman clone. Escaping from the ghosts is impossible. They alaways trap you because there are like 21562601948156473630 ghosts. Turn down the difficulty a bit. 3 stars for aesthetics, half a star for gameplay (because its litteraly impossible to escape after the 15 second mark) .

Sorry If you find it too hard, I guess one issue with leaving the instructions vague is that people will assume you have to eat all the dots at once. If you are willing to give it another shot, the game is open to a secondary strategy where you leave the Big dots and eat only the small ones. That will cause you to deal with less ghosts in the playing field. After consuming all the ghosts during intimidation mode then take another Big dot to spawn some more. Repeat this until you are done. Eitherway I'm glad you enjoyed the art and I understand your ratings.
