Back in August I started on a game inspired by Pac-Man and Ghostbusters. It is conceived as an apocalyptic scifi arcade game. To start with, it pulls some foundational ideas from the golden age of video arcades like gobbling up dots in a maze while being chased by monsters and combines it with retro science fiction films in its sense of spooky atmosphere and epic boss battles. Local multiplayer is already available if you have a gamepad or two!

Right now, I’m looking for feedback. There is a lot of potential for interesting monsters, power ups, settings, puzzles, and maybe exploration. As of this moment, there is no audio in the prototype, so put on some dark and energetic music in the background and try to use your imagination with the primitive graphics. (I like to use Nightride FM’s Darksynth, Horrorsynth, or EBSM channels: https://nightride.fm/?station=darksynth)

Check out the game I’ve started in Prototype Sandbox 2024 called “Gobblers”. It’s a free download you can play with today. Get it here: https://drewvancamp.itch.io/prototype-sandbox-2024
