GOBBLE A GHOST

In Gobble a Ghost the player moves around the maze gobbling up the dots. There are four ghosts who live in the maze and try to stop you gobbling the dots. If you are caught by a ghost you will be killed. There are four power pills in the maze. If you eat a power pill, you can gobble the ghosts for bonus points.
The player will need quick reactions and nimble fingers to outwit the ghosts and obtain a high score.

THE GAME

The player starts in the same position at the beginning of each game. This position is below the ghosts home in the middle of the maze and the player moves left. The ghosts leave their home at random and move towards you. If you are caught by a ghost, you will be killed. To escape the ghosts you can cross through the tunnel from one side of the screen to the other. The ghosts move through the tunnel faster than the player though, so do not go through the tunnel if a ghost is right behind you. There are four red power pills in the maze to help you catch the ghosts. After eating a power pill the ghosts turn blue, and the player gains bonus points for each ghost gobbled. If a ghost is eaten it returns home again and leaves at random after changing back to its original colour. If the player is caught by a ghost, the ghosts and the player return to their starting positions. If the player has any lives remaining the game continues. The number of lives is displayed on the right of the screen. If the player completes a screen, the screen will flash for a short time and the player will be given a new screen to complete. The speed will increase for each screen completed. The scores are displayed in the ghosts home. The current score in white and the high score in red.
