When spawning on the right side of screen, Pacman went up and down the grey border before escaping the game altogether. He's probably on his way to rehab. :D

Mmm, the actual gameplay session is quite short & difficult. Nice take on the theme, though.

Too bad the pacman doesn't have a better AI, and you don't have any friends. The dynamic of alternatively chasing and running away is interesting. Would be even more so as a 4P game.

A nice try. It seems a little un polished but the idea still shines through. Love the look on the ghost though!

I seem to only get a grey box loading up. I don't even get to something like an opening I'm afraid. I'll try again later on a different computer.

Fun idea! A bit too fast tho and since pacman doesn't eat dots not much challange

Nice concept, has potential to good fun.
It get's quite annoying, when pacman just runs over a large pill over and over and stays in the "I'll eat you" mode for a long time.

There is another anti-pac-man in the Ludum Dare 25, you can check it!

Interesting idea ;-)

A few bugs you might want to try and iron out:
- Pacman doesn't eat coins or pellets (you know this one)
- If pacman goes into the teleporting tunnel, he disappears from the game (but he still seems to eat power pellets from time to time)
- You should work a bit on the "repeat" of the key, holding a movement key down means the ghost will stay stopped for a second, then move really really fast!

hope you take some time to try to fix those :-)

Cheers!
