This is almost identical to Pac-Man, with a few slight differences. I didn’t try to replicate the various bugs related to ghost AI in from the original. To advance to the next level collect all the small dots. Ghosts will kill you if you touch them, unless you first collect a powerup (large yellow dot) to frighten them first. This only lasts a short time. Dots, powerups, tacos, and frightened ghosts are worth points.
