Honestly, the original Pac-Man never really caught my attention. But this, this is great, this continues to justify my reasoning when I say that more games need more rougelike elements. But people just call me stupid when I say that Mario needs crafting and farming... I expect the next Pac-Man to include high levels of difficulty and emphasis on environmental storytelling.

Pac-Man was great in the 80s, but it doesn't quite match up to today's standards, so I added a couple of features that every modern game needs to have.
- Instead of eating ghosts to defeat them, you now look at them and press the shoot button until their health reaches zero.
- Game now has an open world and a minimap.
- Pac-Man will die if his hunger meter runs out.
- Core gameplay involves crafting, building, and mining.
- Farming is an essential part of obtaining food.
- Pellets can be used as currency to buy items at shops.
- You can customize Pac-Man with cosmetic hats.
- I added "Roguelike" to the name so that people will think it's good.
- There is a boss fight that's just an evil version of Pac-Man.
- Complete quests to get rewards and stop your quest log from overflowing.
- Multiple endings.
- Craftable weapons that break after a couple of uses.
- Skills can be upgraded to trivialize the game's challenges.
- Creature training mini-game with innovative turn-based combat.
- Lots of emergent gameplay (bugs).
