My first entry into anything ludum darey ever.
This is my attempt at mashing Snake and Pac-Man together. Created using Game Maker Studio, PyxelEdit and FL Studio. I actually planned to include ghosts, but they made the gameplay even more challenging than it already is.
UPDATE 1.1:
* Fixed some bugs
* Decreased the players speed
UPDATE 1.2:
* Fixed even more bugs
* Made the game more Pacman-y
* You can actually win the game now. Crazy, I know.

I just released an update to make the player slower. I actually like it better now, it feels much smoother and more playable this way.
Also, I tried making the spaces wider, but that just lead to completely wrong collision detection, orbs spawning in walls etc.
I will test around with your idea for the ghost though, maybe I can implement it in a way thats not too impossible :D
I wish I could make such music, any tips?
Looks and plays really nice, I think it's o.k without ghosts, and once I realized I could press turn sooner and it will not collide with the wall it was easier.
Well done!
To be honest, the only tip I can give regarding making music is to practice. I personally just tested stuff out and played around with all the fancy sliders and buttons and sometimes it sounded good. Today I would consider myself an okay chiptune composer (However, almost everything above 8-bit is still way beyond my skill ^^), but I would not say that I'm an expert at it.
Also, I tried implementing ghosts in the way chunkybrewster said, but it felt kind of unfitting, so that idea is scrapped I guess. Glad you liked it anyways :3
PS: The howdy at the start was intentional. I am so funny.
