Nice concept, if a tad bit flawed. Since the pacmans have to get all the dots, you can kind of cheat by just staying by some dots not near any pills and wait for the pacs to try and finish the level. Then kill them one by one without letting them get the last dot. But still a lot of fun, especially as I hadn't thought of that until the last level :)

Love the bgm too :)

Make the player get 'hungry' or some other timeout otherwise.

What about after a certain amount of time you get faint and can't catch anything, you have to return to the center to replenish? Kind of like in pac man when they are eaten and just eyeballs :)

Thanks for trying the game and the feedback. Since you get a really bad score if you lurk on a few pills and let PacDog eat all others, it didn't seem like a huge issue.. and I didn't have time to fix that, anyway. But for multiplayer (on one keyboard) some kind of timeout or randomly respawning cataways should be added, yes. ^^

I forgot to mention that you unlock another game mode if you win the game (just look at the "Freeplay" screen).

Thanks to cyhawk's comment to saluk's game I realised why Ghostcat wouldn't run on our old Linux laptop. If you have problems running our game, try the latest upload. ^^
