Cool! Great UI and controls - I found it really hard though! I guess Pacman has to have it easy for those 80s gamers
It really does feel like reverse pac-man, so congrats on doing a good job with the theme! Everyone knows the most fun part of pac-man is chasing the ghosts anyway so this is just a whole game of that.
Pac-Man seems to not prioritize getting the power-up even in situations where he could kill the ghosts, so maybe a little more tuning there would've helped the game feel more complete or make the AI feel a bit smarter. As it is though, he is still very hard to catch.
It would also be fun if the ghosts had slightly different movement the way that they do in real pac-man.
Overall, I had a good time with this one, nice work!
Very cool anti pacman! The controlling runs very smoothly and the ai of pacman is very impressive. Also the difficulty is well balanced. I managed to survive some 6 or 7 levels before I had to give in.
Btw: you made it to my list:

Pacman forever!
Cool game
Great idea! The AI is really good at chasing you down. How'd you do the pathfinding?
Thanks for checking out my game! For the chasing AI, I created an object at each corner that Pac-Man could turn at, and when Pac-Man collided with any of the objects, he would calculate which direction would position him the closest to the nearest ghost.
Thats a clever solution! Is it based off the original ghost AI?
I love it! good job
Hi! I also made reverse pacman and I've seen like 10 reverse pacman but anyway, you can check out my game as well!
