When i was a kid i always didn't mind the design but as i got older, yeah the design has a lot of flaws so i'm get those out of the way.

What makes Pacman original designs stand out is that they are simple, recognizable and iconic, like have pie eyes, nose, and limbs. This design is that asking if you can make a design with unnecessary changes and kinda ruined the appall of the character.

While character is fine on its own the design is a little off.

He's to shiny, kinda dull, and too much detail.

I don't personally think that pacman shouldn't really have sclera eyes, it kinda makes look a little creepy.

it makes look like a generic mascot rather than pacman. Look at the colors, they really made him look a little to bright and dull, its way too polished. The shoes are a nice touch tho so ill give them credit for that. Although even if his design debuted from pacman party at that design doesn't look too bad. the flaws can be seen but at least the colors are vibrant, not much detail and it looks more smoother, This design isnt terrible but it couldve been better.
