Any plans to bring it to the Catalog, or are you keeping it on itch?

Ironically, I just got the email this morning for Panic's approval of the game on Catalog! They haven't told me any additional information yet like how to set up a portal or anything and I was instructed to wait for a future email. 

I plan to release an update this week, as I plan to lessen the difficulty in Score Mode, per the request of a previous buyer. Stay tuned and thank you for your interest A6by!

Looks like Pac-Man for nerds...? INTEREST PIQUED.

Thank you! That's one of the coolest if not one of the best compliments I could have ever gotten! I hope you enjoy the game! Let me know if you do! It took inspiration from PacMan and Ghost in the Machine. 

Score Mode is TOUGH! After a jillion tries I FINALLY got 126 points, then immediately lost in the second level! haha... Consider this my scoreboard submission.

Is there a way to skip the 'rules' breakdown at the start of the mode

Do you you think it is too tough? Should I adjust difficulty?

I would say YES! That first level of Score Mode is too tough. You have to almost perfectly memorize your run and even then, I can't imagine getting much higher than the minimum score before the time is up. It would be cool to be able to start off on any level (once you've reached them). I hope to see level two again someday haha...

I'll push out a 2.0 this week! Check back on Monday and I'll modify the timer and other variables!

Sorry for any delays, feel free to check out Version 1.19, and let me know if the adjustments help in any way!
