can we talk about how good the game design is? it is showing you what the enemy does without text, the placement of the pellets makes sense, and the aesthetic is really appropriate without it looking cliche.
I also absoulety love the sound design!
The acceleration mechanic, how the exit portal isnt available right away, and greg moving non linearly.
thank you~
Not to mention teaching about the telporters in the hub world.
The pellets make *sense*
I swear, Greg sounds like that one friend who eats chips *as loud as possible.*
Funnny thing i ameating chips
HCNURC
C R O N C H
He looks like a Garblovian from Rick and Morty.
he be drinking mountain dew and eating dorrirtos
Dev: "Okay so we have a creepy enemy with spooky background music. What should we name hi-"
Other dev: "Greg."
Dev: "Uh... Okay, what noise should he mak-"
Other dev: "Eating chips with his mouth open."
Everyone: (Likes Greg and wishes he had more levels.)
Dev: Wha--
Other Dev: Told ya.
@@kaliyanelson6106 I think the joke is it sounds like "Other dev" has a vendetta against someone named Greg.
@@dusaprukiyathan1613
I thought Other Dev was just on drugs but this is a much better explanation.
Dev: What does he do?
Other dev: *F L Y*
Sound more like biting into an apple to me
I love how they make the "Greg" stages felt so spooky with a scary bg music.
Half of game design really is is the sound and music design. Even more for some players.
Greg sounds like it's aggressively eating potato chips
Nat accurate ngl
*G R E G*
I like the Late Arrival stage, his chomping feels like the Jaws theme.
Okay, this looks very good. I love how they coupled the tried and true Pac-Man formula with an acceleration mechanic, a greater variety of enemies and maps, and an explorable overworld full of extra levels to find.
Probably never gonna have more than niche appeal, but it certainly appealed to me.
man the fact they expanded on such formula now thats amazing
In an alternate universe this is an actual pac man sequel
Nice*
@@AnnieC.1993 Most likely to give more of a horror kind of vibe and being you the one being always chased
I was half expecting Greg to start chasing you in the overworld. Geez, you have fast reflexes!
Eat-Girl looks like a pair of chopsticks
imma eat my spring rolls with her
Or hair clips I used to play with as a kid
I was thinking more along the lines of "bear trap minus the teeth," but that works too.
Bear trap
Wish there were more Greg levels, his AI felt unique and oddly fair
ikr. He didn’t lock on to you perfectly, he curved around you like you had a gravitational pull, which makes the stop ability useful when dealing with him
Kattia for the best!!!
Probably had an acceleration vector instead of a velocity vector pointed at the player, allowing you to juke him. Cool stuff
nativechatter999 thats what gravity is ;). a acceleration vector.
C0rruptedSpY Except its like getting chased by a drunk dude on rollerskates
I really like the momentum mechanic, it adds strategy and tension
10:37 holy sweet mother of god you dodged that
11:21
25:41
Greg: *Exist*
My anxiety: [ _Crystal Maze flashbacks_ ]
The DK ds part with the whole talking living banana...
So
Ghost: Can charge at you and turn once per each charge. Otherwise, wanders very slowly. No idea what the AI behind it is. Can it break boxes?
Electron: Shoots bolts in 4 directions periodically and wanders very slowly. If you get close to it, it charges up an AoE attack that can break boxes.
Worm: Follows walls as best it can, moving slowly.
Arrow: Constantly moving. Stops, flips, and continues if it hits a wall.
*_G r e g_* : Ignores the environment, chasing you directly, but has a hard time turning around.
Thwomps: Can charge at you if it "sees" you. Can't stop until it hits a wall. "Sees" you much earlier than you'd expect. Breaks boxes.
I didn't think you got this one but certain enemies still target you when you are trying to warp, although target is a weird way to put it.
Even if your in the line of sight of a Thwomp when going in, they dont target you.
But Ghosts will still "see" you and go for a charge, persay.
Also, I think the Worms take the most closest corner to you, like right around the corner. Or atleast take the most convenient when closest.
@@n.g5855 I noticed the odd and fun portal behavior, but didn't mention them. Perhaps I should've, will update this on computer.
Greg doesn't seem to directly chase the player, it seems to either have some kind of prediction or accelerate in random directions, as you can see it sometimes stop dead or try to cut off the player
@@weaponizedpizza8825 Mm, yeah. Seems to be more to Greg's AI than I initially thought. Could just be RNG-based inaccuracy, though. Keyword could.
@@dusaprukiyathan1613 I originally thought it was but the way Greg changes direction immediately after moving a different way makes me think it's trying to compensate for movement.
"so, you know the classic Pac-Man?"
"Yeah, what?"
"Let's remake it with a new spin"
"Cool"
"With Earthbound creepy soundtracks and style"
"Oh. wait wha-"
*Indie Game Dev Creates Life*
I would love to see someone make a TAS bot and make it play this game
Oh my god yes, the speedrunning potential is almost certainly insane
@@dusaprukiyathan1613 AND IT WOULD BE SMOOTH AS HELL...
Maybe CodeBullet can do that...
@@supersmashburger CB doesn't do TAS though
but TAS isn't just speedruns done by bots, there's actual humans involved, the bots are just there to brute force a certain task to find the fastest way to do something slow
If anyone's curious, there are a number of additional levels after the normal ending. You gain the power to break the gray boxes in the hub world and within certain levels, and they always lead to a new maze to clear
Honestly, this could unironically make for a really cool arcade machine, even with the creepy ambiance.
Greg turns this game from surreal into horror
Greg's creepy... I seriously thought it would chase you down in the "level selection" after Greg's revenge or Late arrival. Wasn't even here at Escape? Feels like there's a second "ending".
It may just be me fanning the flames, but in the level "Stop Time," there's a silver cube that seems to lead to nowhere.
@@kaliyanelson6106 Yeah, there's multiple places like that. Alpha said after the "first ending", you have the ability to break those blocks.
@@Danzignan Ooh!
Greg is the kind of thing were you think you see somthing out of the corner of your eye and it turns out to actually be a terrorfiying blue monster aggressively chewing on the bones of anthropomorphic white chopstick drug addicts
@@kaliyanelson6106 There also seems to be a secret in Late Arrival, a Greg level...
I feel like the ending paired with the title of the game being "Eat-Girl" leaves me with the impression that she dies at the end. At the end you're given the option to eat the dots or "pills" allowing you to speed by all those monsters (problems), different colors (perhaps stronger drugs) makes a louder sound when eaten, eventually you crash face first into a dead end, but given a seemingly different exit as the game rolls the credits.
Or maybe it's a fan sequel to Pac-man. Y'all don't have to find a hidden meaning in something that seems slightly spooky.
@@ramz16k
They would have called it "PacMan 2" then, not something as vaguely horror-like and convoluted as fucking "EAT-GIRL".
@@andrewarnold2450 It'scalled 'copyright'.
@@andrewarnold2450 they literally cant do that. Copyright exists
@@ramz16k except everybody else came to the same conclusion. the game also naturally hints at that, so, im not sure what youre so pressed about
"What is that thing?"
"The most evil being on Earth... a loud chewer."
I was wondering how this could be a scary game and end up on this channel, then I saw Greg
*_that damn smile_*
@@etlttc353 And that constant *_c h i p c r u n c h i n g_*
This channel isn’t exactly horror exclusive tho
He dosent only play scary games
I'm curious if anyone else picked this up too or if im going insane, but are the stage names actually bits and pieces of a narative of someone's life?
There are titles like "Lonely" and "Pen pals" and "assembly line" that make me think of a girl doing a normal hard day's work and she has no one to confide to except for the so called pen pal. Then we have "Greg", "Greg's revenge" and "The late arrival" that kinda lead my mind to imagine maybe this is the mysterious pen pal she would speak to and finally meet in person, and perhaps he takes advantage of her addiction or vices (whether it's eating when she's nervous, or popping pills as the video name suggests) somehow, and in her attempts to elude that abusive relationship he keeps coming back to prey on her. And then there are titles like "Freefall", "Face first" and "Escape" that make me imagine her life was going through a downward spiral for one reason or another (maybe due to her vices taking the best of her, Greg's constant interferance or influence on her life, implications of suicide, or just plainly how she's just going through a series of unfortunate events).
In the end it may just really be a bunch of levels named a random assortment of names for the sake of theme, and i'm just connecting the dots where there are none. I'd happilly check the names of every stage but i'm too lazy to lol. If any of you are willing to wear a tinfoil hat and speculate with me, i'm happy to hear your opinions!
I think the game is about drugs
The more drugs you take, the more powerful you become.
Well I guess I've reached my Max potential.
Enrique Cadlum creative. I like the way you think man!
I actually like your interpretetaion a lot. To enter portals, it even looks like you're moving through a house.
I don't understand what goes through people's minds when they dislike something that looks good.
Just dumb haters :/
Most of them could be misclicks, it happens.
CZcams bots.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Or, OR, let's just say people have opinions.
I feel like story wise, based on the titles, Greg could be Eat Girl's drug dealer or abusive boyfriend who has caused her to lose weight due to stress/drug addiction/malnutrition/etc. Greg's behavior is based on the idea that he and his abuse will "eat her alive".
No he's a mouth harassing a pair of chopsticks
Matpat is Jennifer huntly confirmed jk
The lore you just created has transended
tf??
Well then what are the other creatures?
This is strangely relaxing
The sounds were making me anxious...and the blue mouth thing. I'm amazed you're able to be relaxed by something like this.
Biankah same the ‘wubwubwub’ sounds were grating
You mean "Greg"? Yeah, he'd be WAY scarier, if it wasn't for the sound he makes being out of place.
Steveluvscows greg too, but i was referring to the chopstick noises coming from the protagonist
_Greg, you need to calm down._
No *continues chomping*
NEVER *crunches louder on chips*
*angry cronch noises*
"That's what *she* said."
You broke the chain of chomps. *crunches on chips*
Eat Girl was just a working tittle.
Full Release - "Greg"
Stages with Greg :
“Greg” 10:08 : Greg makes his first whacky appearance in the game!
“Greg’s Revenge” 15:10 : Greg makes his second appearance on one of the stages you played!
“Late Arrival” 23:43 : Greg has made his very own stage for you to play! How sweet!
“Marching Ants” 24:56 : Greg will be waiting
“What’s your favorite video game?”
_”eat girl.”_
“Wait I- uh- w h a t”
I don't like Greg, he's too crunchy for me.
*CRUNCH*
I am going to eating chips with my open mouth open and leave this comment open for a full minute before I stop and move on
so that was the extra crunch...
* obnoxious crunching intensifies.
Now that i think about it, it sounds like he’s actually eating carrots, not chips.
Lilly UWU fingies
Who else was disappointed when he didn't find the crate in the edge of the level and maybe find a hidden level?
the crate was gray=locked
7:07 There's a joke here, but I can't quite put my finger on it
Dio
@@proxy90909 That's not the joke
I dunno why but that's hilarious
I dont think ZA WARUDO would get it
that's a lot of ideas all put over such a classic and quite simple premise, I must say it's impressive
This was made without an engine like unity or godot, it was made almost from scratch (love2d.org)
That first level + hub world ambience is so nice. I gotta play this.
The sound effects and music freak me out. I like it
Man, I almost got an anxiety attack watching the level "Greg". That was so intense!
I REALLY don't like Greg... but I'm sure that's the point, and that is what makes him a good antagonist.
Why don'tcha like greg?
This kinda looks like one of those Pacman's creepypastas but add bongs & bubbles to it
... Better analogy:
This is Jane the Killer if the original creepypasta pacman is Jeff the Killer.
I wonder if there's a way to break those metal boxes...
Yeah, once you complete the game you can go back and there's a power-up that allows you to break tougher boxes. There are quite a lot more levels hidden in the game.
Relase that footage
THE COWARDS
greg in the thumbnail was positioned perfectly enough for me to think he was a normal enemy, lmao
The whole time I was thinking "oh no what's wrong what's the twist?" then when I saw the ending I was like "oh, that's just it, hm"
According to the dev, this game takes “at least” 4-5 hours to complete, and apparently there’s at least one more ending. I think there’s quite a bit more to this little game than initially thought.
same.
@@RedMcCloud the grey "metal" crates, they never were broken in this video, maybe after the first ending if you replay the game you can break them?
@@ndt_dynamite2247 you can
@@SHADOWscreepypasta Ah, neat!
Now I know what chewing on your own teeth sounds like. _Thanks Greg_
I dont have the attention span to watch all of this but I just wanna say... Skinny Legend
I feel like this is one of those cases where everyone pretends to get it because no one else seems confused. But I'm confused. Wtf does it mean.
It's intentionally vague so that the dev can get people to talk about it more.
The answer to your question is: nothing, probably. It’s just weird Pac-Man.
*it means pac man but better and scarier*
Probably nothing,not everything needs a deep lore or some meaning
Biankah I don’t think it *has* to mean anything, it’s just vaguely spooky and atmospheric.
This game is pretty neat I would love to play this if I had the equipment to do so, all in all, it's well made with how they make the mechanics of the game and how they combine these mechanics to create a synergy between these monsters and interactables (specifically portals)
I'm pretty sure this game runs on most computers or laptops, unless you don't have one
@@webpombo7765 ding ding ding! You're right!
I love seeing people add new ideas to old formulas. Never thought you could evolve traditional Pacman's gameplay
I don’t read eat girl as a name but kinda like “eat gurl!” with a sassy attitude to it, finger wag included
Mhm you better eat, guuuuuuurl
Man, she must have seen something good if she is clapping that hard.
I've got this game and beat it, but there's one thing that I'm not sure about. There'll be spoilers in the rest of this comment, I guess. After beating the last level and its secret exit, a ghost popped up on the map. When I got near it, it floated over to the final level again and hovered over the entrance. I didn't notice it had gone to the level's entrance until I had eaten all the pellets at the very bottom of the map and went into the orange portal thing. I haven't gotten the ghost to show up again, and I don't know what it does. Has anyone else seen it?
Go to where the ghost went!!! Maybe there is secret!!
I didn’t know thwomps (or better said thwimps, wich are smaller) also had brothers here
So, you've heard of Jeff. now get ready for Greg!
Cutman’s scissors decided to have a adventure alone.
Damn,even his weapon is better than him.
KUNG FU CUTMAN!
There's something really unsettling about this
Everything in this game is subliminally unsettling
*Greg...*
Then Greg shows up and it goes from unsettling to scary
every time when greg makes a crunching sound, he sounded like he is eating chips louder than ever before, but chips is funny anyway... 🤣
Imagine a level creator
I will make a level with 5 Gregs
@@jelliedknife1376 fight me and my ten gregs.
@Noah Taylor Sir, please calm
you can open up the exe (or the .love file) as a zip file and edit the levels using Tiled Map Editor
That would be interesting
Bruh this is literally the “alligator” they taught you about in third grade math class
The more than and less than symbol?
i love it how everything in this game feels ancient. pen pals is just an ancient word to me
Man, I love it so much when devs take a simple concept such as PacMan and get creative with it.
I think each enemy is something that lead eat girl to addiction...
Lonely souls=peer pressure because they always chase her to the pills
Zappers=cyberbullies because they hurt her by indirect means
Worms=co-workers and the office because she feels trapped there
Bouncers=fake friends because they seem nice until they turn around to bite you in the butt
Greg=A stalker following her and trying to rape her
Stompers=her inner turmoil because it is just a little bit faster than her and always catches up
Level exits are the bus she uses to get home and the end portal is suicide as her "Escape"
My favourite take is that cyberbullying and deflowerers named greg are the forces behind the world's opiate crisis
Nigga said internet bullies lolololol
you are reading a bit too much into it
...
@@dudeman4240 I changed it to cyberbullies also please don't say the n-word
The backgrounds and level fade-ins look incredible! (reminds me of Earthbound actually)
I felt like Greg was an inside joke between friends and actually ended up being in the game
Friend : what diet are you on?
Me : *eat girl*
Damn these kids and their "cursed" copies of videogames
i remember those cringey creepypastas
what are you talking about? this game has a freaky boss, but this isn't a "cursed" creepypasta Pac Man game
@@wooby4104 tell that to Ben drowned and other crappy video game creepypastas
@@erickflores458 so? we're not talking about those, we're talking about this game. it's based on Pac Man mechanics and aesthetic but the similarities end there, and there's nothing "creepypasta" or "cursed" about it.
@@erickflores458 Ben Drowned isn't even a game lol
Getting Earthbound vibes from the level baclground.
Everyone: this game is scary
Me: hahaha he go waka waka waka
havent watched the video but i love the title instead of a generic "pacwoman" or smth. bet its abt an eating disorder or smth there always seems to be a second layer to games like these
edit: i already love the backgrounds they remind me of earthbound omg
Broke: Ms. Pac Man
Woke: *EAT GIRL*
Okay there's GOTTA be something more to this game
The immortal death monster? Name him Greg, that’ll drive fear into the hearts of all who play this game.
Great game
Eat girl: omg its a horrifying monster
Devs: na thats just greg
man, i _hate_ greg's sound effects. it's like hearing someone crunch an apple in sync with a bomb timer
This guy is amazing, all levels without die...
Ew, it's Greg
Eugh,Greg
Blargh not greg!! :(
Guys, look, its *GrEg*
I like Greg tho.
Hey shake a leg!
It's Mr. Greg!
Everybody gangsta till Greg starts *C R U N C H I N G*

Am I the only one who noticed, albeit thanks to the thumbnail, that Greg actually has sunken in, beady little eyes? Dunno if that makes him creepier or not.
Happy Tater Tuber I thought he was a floating pair of lips but okay
@@conorgarrett5893 Trust me, I thought the same thing till I took a closer look. It's an easy detail to miss, seeing as they're set at the very edges of his mouth.
am i the only one who finds this game oddly comforting?
It is... except for any level with Greg in it.
this is a really cool playthrough,, also wow, abg! your reflexes are insane :0
This is like the Polybius of Pac Man
The level design is terrific. This game looks great
When you finish a level, try going to a safe spot and wait as the wormhole devours everything in the universe until it reaches you
I like the horror style stuff and the interesting proof of concepts you showcase here, but this is one of the most polished games you've shown on the channel, and one I'd actually be down to play.
This is unsettling yet amazing.
Greg is scary.
But EAT-GIRL is brave and fast.
What's awesome about this channel is that you are absolutely amazing at every game, which is awesome cause that way you can show a lot of the game at once.
Greg looks creepy yet his crunches are very ASMR
Not only does ABG find good games , but they’re also really good at gameplay in general. Always satisfying to watch
That movement mechanic is KINO
skinny legend
Lovely design across the board!
More like *Scissor-head*
Really fun game! So creative! Enjoyed it! 👍
I seriously think this is about drug addiction and the monsters are a representation of hallucinations or sadness that she's hiding by taking drugs
Hi, addict here. The monsters would be the withdrawal symptoms, which can kill you. Alcohol withdrawal can give you a massive seizure that makes you die.
Interestingly, methamphetamine withdrawal does not have any physically dangerous symptoms. You can kick it easily. But you sleep and eat and cry and many people cannot handle that.
Damn their pac man skills are great
I never knew I wanted psychedelic horror pac-man, and here it is.
Looked like there was a secret exit in Stop Time right at the top.
Highway too!
“It’s very faint… a really terrible, scary sound, and it’s awful… a little like Rice Krispies after you pour in the milk. But I know it’s closer than it was. Because something’s coming… something making that horrible cereal noise…”
Everybody gangsta until *Greg* comes through
