ChomperMan

by GameChangersAI

A Tribute to Pacman with a twist.

Know Your Monsters

Chewy — Chaser

Directly pursues you. Speeds up when close and may lunge.

Lucy — Ambusher

Predicts your path and flanks from ahead or from the side.

BigJoe — Patroller

Loops waypoints until you’re near, then commits to a steady chase.

Stompy — Trickster

Roams with unpredictable turns and lands the occasional screen‑shake stomp.

Powered up? Monsters turn blue and flee to safety.

Status Effects

Normal

Standard AI behavior (chase, ambush, patrol, trickster).

Frightened

Blue and fleeing while you’re powered up. Can be chomped.

Frozen

Encased in ice from chrono/ traps. Allies can rescue slowly.

Chilled

Brief slow after thaw (steam melt). Fades in ~1s.

Rescue

Two enemies channel to melt ice. Both are tied up.

What’s New

  • Linus (dog) spawns in the maze. Freeze him 10× to unlock Lacy Mode (ally).
  • Lacy auto‑distracts nearby threats; press Q to whistle her back.
  • Freeze stacks: repeat ice hits extend enemy freeze (with a cap).
  • Traps: pick up Trap charges and press T to place a freeze trap.
  • 3D footsteps: enemy steps are positional for better awareness.
  • Clouds drift toward enemy clusters to hint where to explore.
