Cool idea. Horrible controls. Reminds me of how frustrating playing pacman on my 2600 was as a kid.

pretty nice. I had a multiplayer demo a decade back where one player would be pacman and rest would be ghosts. and it would swap as you cycle. Whoever collects most coins won.

Cool AI slop but the lack of corner easing like the original game makes it less fun.

Sometimes I manage to make the ghost move on mobile but I don't understand how to do it in a consistent way. Maybe there should be a tap area of 90 degrees above the ghost (from -45 to +45) to move it upwards, 90 to the right to move it rightwards, etc.
