Pacman

Replicated original Pacman in 48h with Unreal Engine 4.27.2.

Summary

The classic Pacman where in order to win you have to eat all the dots and the pills. But be careful with the ghosts because if they touch you, you'll lose a life and you don't have that many! But do not worry as the pills are PowerUps that allow you to eat them without any trouble. You can move Pacman with WASD or Arrows.
