Rather than play as Pac-Man you play as the four ghosts!

I agree with the comments below. Also at my first try I encountered a bug. Pacman left the screen and didn't show up on the other side again. Then after a minute or so i followed him and suddenly won the game. However, nice idea ;-).
Btw: you made it to my list:

Pacman forever!
Fun idea but it did feel pretty out of my control whether I would win or not because half the time he would just run into one of my idle ghosts lol
Great idea, as other commenters have mentioned the ai isn't especially good at avoiding the ghosts. It is also possible to just sit all your ghosts on the final pellet to stop the pac-person from ever being able to get it.
Nice concept!
I think the art could have been done in a way that made the ghosts stand out from the background, it was a bit hard to get a grasp on everything, the art did look good though as well as the presentation. Maybe a couple redesigns of the map and smarter AI for the pac-person and you'd have a really solid game!
Pretty fun and interesting concept! The one thing is that I think the Pacman or sorry "pac-person" is a bit, not very smart, because in my first game, I didn't know what I was doing and before I moved he ran into one of my ghosts lol. Overall Great job!
Yeah, I noticed that too. The engine’s pathfinding system has some sort of way to make obstacles but I couldn’t figure out how to make it work, and I do feel like Pac-Person is quite dumb.
Making good ai’s in game jams is rather tricky, so I don’t blame you at all!
come to think of it pac-man has role reversal all the time.
it was fun figuring out how to trap them here
Cool!
