> Horrible controls.

Interesting! I found them mostly ok, but I was playing with a keyboard. They definitely remind me of the controls of Pacman games I grew up with where (as sibling comment notes), you have to decide where you're going before you get there.

I wonder if tweaking the input buffering or adding some frames after the turn where you 'snap-back' would help, similar to ghost jumps in Mario.

    The code was written by Claude, unfortunately, and hence no controls were probably even considered, or no tokens were left.
    I jumped in with the love in mind, too, but when I checked the source repository, and saw the actual source... and then the contributors... it was... I am sorry... it hit hard...

I find that you have to decide which direction to turn before the turn.

Once I got that figured out, it was mostly a race to catch pacman along the long straight path at the bottom edge with the ghost's superior speed.

Swipe controls on mobile worked well for me.

Yeah its AI slop without the corner easing. But maybe they can AI it better.
