Pac-Man, but You're the Ghost

A developer created a Pac-Man variant where the player controls a ghost hunting Pac-Man, who is controlled by AI. The game retains the power pellet mechanic, reversing roles temporarily. It is available to play online.

Pac-Man, but you're the ghost I always felt a little bad for the ghosts in Pac-Man. They patrol the maze, they corner the guy, and then he eats a glowing pellet and suddenly they're the ones running for their lives. So I built a small game where you finally get to play the other side. Pac-Man has its own AI, and your job is to catch him before he clears the maze. The twist is the same one that always ruined my day as a ghost: if he eats a power pellet, the tables flip and he hunts you for a few seconds. Then you run.
