And with this I upload my final version of my entry. It’s quite a minimalist game, I wish I had more time to work on it, but real life is also demanding me to keep my time spent minimalist. So, with a minimalist post, I will wrap up the competition.
Very unique on all accounts (even sound, for a change) :) I would've played it longer if you picked one area in which you were decidedly minimal, and added more content in the others.
i think i played for 30 minutes non-stop trying to get the princess to the right edge of the screen, but it gets harder when you get further to the right. unique gameplay, but the controls feel a bit clunky since your moving indirectly.
Why do you hate my ears so? :-( The sound effects are loud and annoying. I didn't really like the gameplay mechanics. I felt too disconnected from the character I guess.
A nice idea for the controls and it works relatively well, maybe the steps could've been smaller to allow finer adjustments to the height. I gave you a high score in audio just because the idea of the "music" was so great, not because it wasn't annoying. :P Wasn't really that exciting to play.
Argh. This is lacking a win condition! I actually played until I managed to leave the right-hand side of the screen, but I kept getting bumped back in. If you meant it to be more of a classic "neverending" game then you should have made it incrementally harder to the point where it'd be impossible. I like the general (weird) concept, and at first it was kind of fun to fly around generating these bleepy moves, but it got repetitive and dull pretty quick, plus the music was totally killing me after a few minutes ;) Maybe it would be possible to put the same control scheme into a slightly more complex/eventful game?
It seems like the power-pill can't really be used because there are no left arrows. Maybe if you got really lucky as you were about to die...? I liked the vibe of this game, thanks for including a speed-up key.
Played this for a while, trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do.. then went and did some kitchen chores, leaving it running. Came back, it was still running.
So... I'm not really sure what the point is... We both move at the same terribly slow pace through a hallway, and nothing happens. Picking arrows seems trivial, and in the few minutes I played there was a single right and no left. Since you can't move left, the powerups are useless, and the whole experience is just frustrating/boring. Also, none of my keys made it speed up, and there was no music, only sound.
I grabbed the power pill and tried ramming into walls to get myself back to Pac-Man in time, but I guess it ran out right before I got him, because I died (either that or that's not what it's for!).
It's a very unique game, that's for sure... I'm not sure it actually works, but you really stepped into left field to pull out the concepts!
I always knew Pac-man was up to no good... Nice unique mechanics. The random music was impressive but got a bit annoying after a while sadly. But Killer Pac-man is always a good thing. Right?
The game was interesting for the first three minutes. I noticed that your guy bounces back when you hit a wall and that there are different types of arrows. Then the endlessness of it sank in and the auto-generated music clawed at my ears. I do like the evil pac-man picture and the protagonist looks like a character from a web comic http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2774
What a bizarre little game! ;) Took a little bit to puzzle out how the brainwave and key symbols interacted, but not too long. Also, took me a bit to realize how to kill pacman before my powerup ran out! Nice job.

An interesting game, but the sound was too grating to enjoy overall.
