This is like a pacman, but it's not pacman ! Eat all the lightgums as fast as you can without being hit by "ghosts" (speedrun).
controls : keyboard only, arrows or WASD/ZQSD language : en, fr (text only)
The game require java 8, included with native versions (~70 Mo). On this page, I only linked 32bit version, full list of packaging is available at https://github.com/davidB/ld31_p0cm0n/releases

The first images I'd got about "Entire Game in One Screen" was old game : pacman, donkey kong, ... game & watch. Since some time, I would like to implement pacman. I start with this idea, but due to time restriction, and the will to use jMonkeyEngine (first time) and to test my wip deferred rendering I change the classic game.
Known bugs:-( :
* sometimes at begin of the game the keyboard doesn't respond, workaround click with the mouse button (include when mouse is invisible), I'll try to fix. * sometimes on game, some keyboard event are missed. (fixed in 0.3.1) * some video card aren't supported (eg: macbook pro), notify me. (try a fix in 0.3.2) * "Uncaught exception thrown in Thread[LWJGL Renderer Thread,5,main]" (fixed in 0.3.3) * size of the native packages (~70 MB).

I am getting an error on my Macbook Pro (with Iris Pro GFX) when running on java 8 via 'java -jar getdown-1.4.jar .': "RendererException: Image format 'Depth24Stencil8' is unsupported by the video hardware."
@Wayward Only 25% difference included : you can't eat ghost, ghosts spawn 1 after 1, time is your score if you eat every gums. Anayway I hope you had fun.
Controls a bit weird and you tend to miss the gums at intersections if you hug the walls. The weirdness of the controls is amplified by the speed mode making it pretty hard to make most out of it. Nevertheless it's still a pretty enjoyable game. I think -67 was my best score.
Well done, seems like you added quite a bit of cool stuff to an ordinary pacman game. That whole light thing is quite nice. Wish you had added a bit more character to the "pacman" though, a faceless cube is a bit.. meh. :)
Fun little pac-man clone that I found quite challenging. Having power pelets give speed boosts instead of ghost eating was interesting. There was an annoying bug where moving through a pellet would sometimes not eat it.

Sorry, I'll investigate.

Unfortunately get this happening upon running it (don't worry, no rates) http://grab.by/CUxA
