Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!
I love your Pac-Man insight. I wish I could say it was intentional - I went with ghosts just to be a scary thing to hide from and the yellow character came about because I wanted to do something other than your typical 8x8 sprite of a person in jeans and a red shirt, and I thought a person in a hazmat suit was a good fit (which ended up looking like your typical Among Us ripoff :D).
That’s a really cool idea and I could definitely see going further with that, like adding an item to make the ghosts temporarily run away from you. It would be pretty powerful tool to let you explore a lot faster.
