"Google"-Awesome Little JAVASCRIPT Game

Go to the developers' website- link- to play it. It's pretty good!

You play a small speedy glutton, and you're running away from existential horrors by...eating. It's very bizarre. I think the developers were going for a sort of metaphor for America's obsession with obesity or something.

Anyways it's really unique, try it out! Arrow keys to control

    There's a two player mode if you're feeling extra lucky.

    It has some potential, but I don't really see this game catching on.

    I bet by tomorrow the devs will already cease support for it and simply forget about it.

    I hope someone will at least archive it somewhere.

    This game fucking sucks, the graphics are ass, the "music" (if you can even call it that) is childish, and it controls like a dump truck in reverse.

    Seriously this game is so confusing. It's like Suda51 levels. Was he the director or something?

    Also @Alegis: Perhaps if they come out with some sort of sequel starring a hot chick with a huge rack it might be more successful

    We gotta support indie games here man! Come on guys! Get the word out!

    I don't think they'll ever make something like that. But I bet some fan will probably do it.

    Fucking Google, man.

    This was probably brought up as an idea in a meeting or something, and at any other company the response probably would have been "What? I don't know what that is, get back to doing those TPS Reports", but at Google they were probably like "Sweet, let's do it".

    I want to work there. I don't care if I'm sweeping floors.

    Clearly you guys just don't have any friends to play two player mode with. The second player has to be some chick.

    Actually I've worked a little bit with their TTS software, but other than that as far as I know they've done some stuff for phones and that's it.

    I just want to get employed there while they're still a startup in case they really take off.

    I love Google Pac-man, aside from some very slight width differences in the walls, like how you can't flow easily into the G to get the power pellet.

    I feel like marking the occasion with a few videos to show how crazy we can really be about Pac-Man.

    FUN FACT: Pac-Man was originally supposed to be a pizza with one piece missing and ate all the little bits around the screen looking for his missing piece to become whole again, but graphics at the time left him straight yellow.

    Sorry, but I've never seen that before. I can't post what I didn't know existed. :P

    Here's some other Pac-Man videos I at least somewhat remember.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jQkBiU_2rg&feature=related

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3n22GQMgcU&feature=related

    The only thing I remember of that cartoon is this one time Pac-Man is being chased by the ghosts, and he comes across a phone booth. He dials for the operator and asks for power pellets, and then the change return slot suddenly starts pouring power pellets and filling up the phone booth.

    And why didn't General Mills make a limited time run of Pac-Man cereal for this anniversary? That would have been awesome!

    There is this really shitty mall in my town that is almost always deserted (seriously, I have no idea how they stay in business), and at the complete ass-end of it, where no one ever goes, there is a lone Ms. Pac Man cabinet sitting against a wall next to a tired looking vending machine. They're both about fifteen feet from the back exit.

    Now I know it would be a really, really shitty thing to do, but there is a part of me that really, really wants to get some friends and a truck, borrow a dolley, and rush in there sometime early in the morning when noone is there with a couple friends and just fucking steal it. Just bam, back the truck up to the doors, run in like ninjas, unplug it (it's not bolted down), load it onto the dolley, roll it out the doors and onto the sidewalk, lift it into the truck, get in, and we all speed away.

    Whole operation from parking to peeling out could probably be done in less than 30 seconds.

    Not that I've, you know, given it any thought.

    Instead of playing this I played some more Pac-Man C.E. It's honestly one of the best downloadable games I've ever played and I wasn't even a big fan of the original. For weeks I'd spend at least 30 minutes a day trying to beat my high score. So addicting. <3
