GHOST-MEN

My entry to the GameMakersToolkit Gamejam of 2023, with the theme being "roles reversed".

In this chaotic version of pacman, you play as the ghosts, and need to catch pacman ambushing it with several ghosts at the same time, or cornering it.

You win by catching pacman with any of the ghosts, and you lose when pacman gets all the pellets.

Each ghost has completely separate controls, allowing you to move all of them at the same time:

• Blinky: 
  • Your mouse will make a red marker appear in the closest possible point of the maze to it, and blink will just follow it, no matter where the marker is.
• Pinky:
  • It is controlled using the WASD keys.
• Inky:
  • similar to Pinky, but with the arrow keys.
• Clyde:
• Good ol' Clyde, always the odd one out, it is controlled by voiced commands, so if you want it to go up, you just need to say "up", to the right, say "right", and you get the idea.

Idea of this game is based on the "Animal Crossing: Sweet day" minigame in "Nintendo land"

All original "pacman" sprites are taken from  this video,

And I also used this tutorial for speech recognition.
