LD54 - Pack-Man's limited space by Ifman1
Fill up your Pack, man. When you can't carry any more coins, empty them into the piggy bank and go out for more. WASD controls. Avoid the ghosts. Bad things happen when the ghosts touch you.
Either play in the browser or download the zip for Windows.
Also available to play here: https://ifman1.itch.io/ld45
NOTE: The itch page's WebGL version has a couple improvements to make it easier to know when your pack is full or emptied, based on early feedback.

Fun take on the theme and pac-man. Would have liked a sound when it put things in the bank.. at first I was standing there bumping into it over and over wondering how I put coins in. congrats nice entry.

Nice game. I wish there would have been sound effect for returning the coins to a piggy bank. Also the 10 coin limit was rather generous, maybe 5 would have made more interesting gameplay. I liked the fact that there were so many ghosts, but they were slow and did not follow the player in very optimal way. There was great pressure from the ghosts as they were everywhere, but still I managed to escape them. Thank you for this great game, also the player animations looked cool!

Fun idea for a game! Controls feel nice. I agree with @doug-graham about the piggy bank sound! Congrats on completing :D

Simple but fun idea. My main criticism would be that feedback feels lackluster, it's not immediately obvious that your backpack is full or that you emptied it in the piggy bank.

Great take. It needs some polish but this is a Jam game :)

I like the new take on pacman, I think you did it well! I just felt like I'd want to be hearing some banger music while running from the ghosts and some polishing on the animations and interactions. But otherwise, great entry!

Interesting mechanic! This game could really benefit from some more "juice"--particle effects, music, intensity in general. Interesting take on pac man. Nice work!

Hey everyone, based on the early feedback I added some "polish" (not really) to the itch version. I added a better indicator for the Pack being full and a sound when you use the piggy bank.

Neat variation on the original, having to move the pickups somewhere else, but getting rid of powerups. Maybe some powerups would've been fun too. Sound effects are straightforward, some music would've been nice as well of course. On the other hand you made some really nice animations! Fun to see the cheering after winning, some audio fanfare would've been great too C: Not a lot of new ground broken perhaps but it was nice and I enjoyed it.
