You know what Pacman needed? GOD

God let's you collect pills, it helps you keep eyed-monsters at bay, it even lets you eat ice cream. It even lets you collect up to four bibles to seal the devil and complete a stage.

Add the fact that the protagonis tis a proto-yoshi and this settings becomes so much more bizzarre. But aside fro this this is a odd but interesting take on Pacman: instead of a stale stage, your room keeps switching and moving according to the devil at the top of the screen: this generates a stage that can easily squash you if you are not careful and you don't plan your course ahead. In a way it remind some of those some Pacman mobile games where you have an infinite maze and you gotta go up for how much you can.
This though doesn't change the fact that the game is kinda clunky: it has some decent ideas but the way you progress to the levels can be kinda repetitive and tedious, and the way the different corridors can create a lot of dead ends, where it becomes tough to find a cross to kill the enemies in your way (basically your super pellets)

Overall it is a good idea for an arcade game, but it feels to janky and not the best especially compared to what pacman did.
SHotout for the samsh team for using the Devil as a assist trophy: legit a genius idea to take from this title.
