They are 7 kinds of bonuses: - Red musical note: Stop the music (because when it gets in your head, you can't remove it) - Green musical note: Start the music (it's already in your head, why bother) - Overdose (bigger point): Slow you down. You know... you need to digest that one. - Invulnerability (yellow star): grants you 3 seconds of invulnerability to ghosts - One up (heart): give you one supplemental life - Green, Yellow, Red apple: 100, 200 and 500 bonus points.
This was alright. It was just a Pac-Man clone with nice music in the background, and slightly shinier graphics, but it was pretty fun. One thing to mention is that it doesn't have a game over screen when you run out of lives, so I was still running around for a bit, and was confused why I wasn't picking anything up. Still pretty neat though.
Haha, the music is awesome! Overall a fun PacMan clone. I responded to your question in the comments of my game. It's usually best to have at least the option to download the game without an installer for Ludum Dare, cause many probably have XNA4 installed anyway and installers tend to clutter the system's registry.
I liked it overall. The only thing I would say is maybe add some different AI personality, or maybe they just chase you a bit more because it was easy to dodge them but other than that I liked it!
Just a small note regarding installers. The problem is with Ludum Dare games, is that you've got like over 2000 of them to try out and even if only 10% are installers, that's still 200 games that need to be installed before you can actually play them. It's one extra step you have to take before you can test it out. That said, I've just downloaded your game, gonna install it and then get back to you with some rating and notes :D
Interesting variation on the Pac-Man theme. The movement feels stilted as it moves from tile to tile, rather than it gliding. I like the fact you have to run over the play sign to start the game and you can quit by running over the stop. Respawning dots make it a bit more interesting as well. The ghosts could be a little less random though. Love the sound effects and music.

different lvls are cool
Fun version of Pac-Man with some weird but cool sounds.
Oh, and I couldn't tell what the bonuses were doing, so I don't know which bonus is not a bonus.
