Well I’m in full speculation mode. Apparently GOG is still saying they’ll ship the physical game in Q2, and the digital release is still officially slated for Q1. But Limited Run Games also said the physical copy would ship in December of last year before it got delayed, so it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I’m just wondering if it’s likely it could get delayed again. There was also an interview with the creators of the game where they didn’t really say anything about when it was releasing except explained the reasons for the delay.

If they’re on track to release digitally in Q1, the last opportunity for that to happen is now this month (March). Is it really feasible that it could drop this month considering they haven’t announced a specific release date yet (aside from the Q1 window they gave near the end of last year)? Surely they would first make a more accurate release date announcement, and then want there to be some time (some amount of notice given in advance) before it actually releases? Is less than 1 month even enough time between announcement & release for a game like this? If so what’s the least time we can expect they would realistically leave it before announcing, 1 week before release? Seems like if it’s going to meet the predicted window (which after they already delayed it past the previous one they may be disincentivised from missing again, also considering some reviewers have already played the game) wouldn’t the date have to be announced any day now as per usual game release protocol?





That’s never happened to me yet. But I would hope we just have to start the level again from the beginning (without checkpoints) and we lose the progress we made on it for that attempt, á la Crash Bandicoot. I doubt they would make you start the whole game again like the original Kao the Kangaroo (if you don’t manually save), that would be brutal.


How to earn lives in Pac Man World Re Pac?
Only found this online but it's for the original PS1 version: "Pac-Man can gain extra lives by collecting gold 1UP Pac-Man items, by earning them in the slot machine at the end of every level or for every 10,000 points scored at the results screen." But I don't know what these gold 1UP Pac-Man items look like or how to recognise them, couldn't find a pic or any more information on it. Does it mean the gold coins you collect during a level? I thought those were for using in the slot machine. Also does it mean you can only get lives at the end of the level or is there a way to get lives during the progression of a level as well? And what does it mean the results screen, can we earn lives by getting 10,000 points while playing a level or only after finishing it? Wikipedia says this: "He can find small fractions of health to replenish it in levels, as well as extra lives." I was wondering if we can get new lives by collecting more fractions of health once we already have full health, but not sure. And if there is a separate in-level collectible that grants you a full life, what it looks like.
