- neilv 3y agoI wonder whether anyone has done a Pac-Man variant inspired by Flatland. Say, a powerup temporarily turns the screen to 3D, with the ghosts only perceiving the 2D slice. Pac-Man might be a cone that can 'shrink' to squeeze around ghosts, can jump through 3rd dimension to 'teleport', can move back and forth between different 'levels' floors in a building, etc.
- rdoherty 3y agoThat would be really cool! Kinda like Super Paper Mario.
- vikingerik 3y agoIt's not exactly Flatland or everything you describe, but there is an old arcade game named Pac-Mania where Pac can jump over the ghosts in 3D but they only move in 2D.
