HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV-Virus stands for... You see the issue?

Pedantry aside, the game, apart from the graphics which are a-ok, is also less than stellar.

Pac-Man is a proven concept, a true classic which has stood the test of time. It is still fun, that is. Your version has some issues, starting with the controls. Pac-Man cannot stop *ever*, he does not get stuck on walls, he cannot turn on a dime and if you do change direction while Pac-man is moving in a corridor, he will remember that and take the next turn in that direction.

Next, the design. With a proven concept you might not want to change anything, like to implement a life time timer? Why not simply add in more and more HI-viruses over time. Eventually the player will hit one and lose. You should also show the score on the *Game over* screen.

So, yeah. The effort is there and it is functional, props for that. Unfortunately the movement issue and the new design make it unfun.

I like the graphics but the controls are aweful, like @huvaakoodia said. Also the buttons were almost too small to tap on my 4 inch phone.

I guess if you'd invest some time and with fixed controls the game could be fun for a few minutes. Maybe make the levels bigger and spawn more viruses when you ate all viruses? :smiley:

Hi, I played the Android version. It's hard to control and a UI button fell of the screen sometimes, I had to reset the app. It was hard to play because of the controls first but then I got used to it. Good job putting it together!
