Just a fun idea I had while sitting idly at work and wanted to turn into a game, that turned into several game modes that all play with the same idea. What if Pacman didn't show you everything, everywhere, all at once?

You can invision the classic game of dots and ghosts and one hungry man in your head, but can you play it with your eyes closed? Not everything is visible at once in this classic arcade maze chase game. The dots, ghosts, walls, and you are all separate layers. You see what you ask for, so get a good look and memorize what you can, because it'll be dark again before you know it.

Three different game modes for you to choose from:

  • Stare: Pick a layer and it stays lit until you pick another.
  • Torch: A small pool of light travels with you, and a ping that sweeps the walls.
  • Flash: You only get a brief glimpse before it goes dark again.

Each has its own difficulty, for a total of 9 possible ways to play. Levels generate randomly past the first one (so no memorizing every floor!), and get larger and more complicated. Good luck!

Controls

Arrows or WASD to move. 1-4 or HJKL to pick which layer is visible.
