Teleorpacman

Moby ID: 83692

Description

Teleorpacman is a Pac-Man clone released during the massive protests that took place in Romania in early 2017, the title referring to Teleorman county, which is widely seen as the fiefdom of the president of the Social Democrat Party (PSD), Liviu Dragnea. Dragnea's head takes the place of the familiar yellow character, while the ghosts are represented by Laura Codruța Kövesi, Chief Prosecutor of the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA), Klaus Iohannis, President of Romania, the (flag of the) European Union, listed in the description as "ambassadors", and a sign saying "HOTII!" (THIEVES!), representing the protesters or, according to the description, the civil society. Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, president of PSD's allies ALDE, occasionally appears in a fixed location, eating him granting some bonus points.

The dots to be eaten are dollar signs and the power ups are represented by OUG 13, which is the emergency ordinance that triggered the protests, eating one temporarily turning the enemies into logos of RTV, which is a TV station loyal to PSD and which has made a rule of constantly launching accusations and conspiracy theories against protesters and opposition forces. When the enemies are in this form, they may be eaten for bonus points, the bonus doubling for each additional enemy eaten before the effect wears off. Once eaten, an enemy turns into the hammer and sickle and slides back to the enemy starting area, only recovering after reaching it.

Trivia

Inspiration

The author stated that, after seeing Flappy Dragnea, he thought he should adapt a classic game as well, so, thanks to Patreon supporters, he purchased Pac-Man source code and adapted it in an hour, despite admitting he has nothing to do with programming otherwise.
