Pac Hunters is a spin off of the old arcade game Pacman, in which you take control of a ghost and try to catch the evil pacmen who are trying to steal your precious ghost pellets! If a pacman eats you, you switch to control the next ghost available!

Nice idea, playing the ghosts in Pac-man. Very good game!

Old consept, but great idea! You are genius!

Great game! I never realized how difficult it was for those poor ghosts. ;)

This is beautiful! great job!

Haha this is really great! The AI is pretty good and it's really satisfying to nail those pacman suckers. It's a great feeling when they finally get caught between two ghosts. I love the squiggly line art and the music is excellent!

Cool concept though but a little bit of an old concept perhaps but great job guys

An innovative idea taking the old pac-man game and flipping it. It is pretty fun too. I especially like it when you get more than one pac-man to deal with. Nice graphics and sound as well.

Nice version of this idea! Apparently we had the same one!

I was impressed at how good the AI ghosts were at helping trap the pac-men. I never really felt like I was fighting to make them do the right thing; they worked well as a team. The pac-man AI was also pretty good.

Not an entirely new concept (controlling the ghosts), but it kept me playing for quite a while, so definitely a fun take on it!

Cool idea! Very entertaining and well-designed.
My only concern is that it's a little too easy.
Overall, great work.

An interesting idea well presented. I found the AI a little wonky at times though.

Well executed and fun, well done!

this is my favourite reverse pacman game of this LD so far. i like that i can focus on one ghost and not have to control all of them. makes it much more relaxed. well done.

Haha very nice game!I love the graphics.The music is pretty good and it's a pretty nice idea!But actually it is impossible to catch the pac-man alone...

Not the first game where I try to kill Pac-Man. Apparently people don't like that yellow little guy.

Anyway, wonderful game.

Simple and good implementation! Feels good and I like the idea!

That music was a really nice tribute to the original. Love the sketch style too. and it was fun! I was screwed when I was the only ghost left, and just refused to let them eat the last pellets. good times
