Pac-Man as a…metroidvania?

[Maf]

Ridiculous. Has huge potential 

[DANGERMAN]

Apparently this is based on the Secret Level Amazon thing, or they used the idea on both. Big asterisk on 'apparently' because that's just a headline I saw 

 

Interesting idea to do something different with Pac-man 

[mfnick]

This looks cool.

“Evangelion meets PAC-Man”

 

This game is absolutely ludicrous in every way but I’m really in to it? It’s such a weird and silly idea, but that’s really got my interest. I’m not sure if it’ll be good, but can’t say it’s not unique 

[DANGERMAN]

Yeah my only worry is that it's in a pretty crowded genre. It could be good and still not stand out 

[Maf]

Still one of the strangest concepts I’ve ever seen 

[Maryokutai]

I think it's cool. Take an irrelevant IP and just do something weird with it. Worst case scenario it doesn't work but at least it's a new concept, and outside the slightly cheap looking flash-animation characters it looks neat IMO.

 

The part where they show Switch 1 and Switch 2 has to be the most pointless set of comparison shots ever though, with it being completely different scenes.

[Maf]

I think it looks cool. Just the weirdest shit ever. 
 

My only actual negative is the animations and such look a bit flash game-y. 
 

But this looks really weird and interesting over all
