fantastic game!! what a creative twist on pac-man, i love the turn-to-blue designs some feedback, however
*the ranking/lives system isn't communicated super well to the player. as i understand it, strike outs give you a large rank penalty, and getting anything less than a B substracts from your starting life count (F is game over, D substracts 2 lives, C substracts 1), and if your life counter would start at less than 1, the game is over. but it's also unclear what the best strategy for ranking up is-- speedy play seems to contribute the most. *eating ghosts also appears to reduce your rank-- i think it should instead speed up the power pellet respawn timer, quickly making threats out of any ghosts not in your chomp-loop-- but also allowing a risky way to get a bunch of ghosts powered up. alternatively, eating ghosts could lightly increase your speed— something to make you not want to completely avoid them *there is a bug where if the screen has scrolled past a certain threshold and a new game is started, the first maze will be off-center. *how can i find dem secrets?
It appears there is a playable U/TAU game now. Very cool.
Edit: It appears the easter eggs are causing the game to have to load 50 megabytesof audio as well as ~50? more megabytes of images. My device only has 2GB (usable) of RAM, can you make a version without the easter eggs, and also use MP3 instead of WAV?
I love this. Taking the rules of power pellets and turning it on it's head is an idea I love. The Sprite work is amazing as well. The LONG powered up ghost sprites are very Intimidating. And I like that. Props to you and I hope more U/TAU based fan-games become a reality soon

Will there be any Steam Grid assets for this?

this game is built and packaged with turbowarp, so all files are converted to WAV as it is scratch’s native audio file format.
ah, okay! but maybe a "lite" version with the easter-eggs cut out would be nice
