About Pac-Man

Pac-Man is the quintessential arcade game that became a global phenomenon. Created by Namco in 1980, this maze-chase masterpiece features the iconic yellow character navigating mazes filled with dots, power pellets, and four colorful ghosts - Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Each ghost has unique AI behaviors, creating strategic depth that keeps every game fresh and challenging. Clear mazes to advance through increasingly difficult levels while maximizing your score through efficient routes and perfect timing.

How to Play Pac-Man

Use arrow keys to navigate Pac-Man through the maze. Your goal is to eat all dots and power pellets while avoiding the four ghosts. When you consume a power pellet, ghosts turn blue and become vulnerable - eat them for bonus points! Clear the entire maze to advance to the next level. Each level increases in difficulty with faster ghost speeds. Strategically use the tunnel passages on the sides of the maze to escape dangerous situations.

Tips & Strategies

• Clear the power pellets last to maximize ghost-eating opportunities when surrounded
• Learn ghost patterns - each ghost has predictable behavior you can exploit
• Use corners strategically - ghosts must make full turns, giving you escape opportunities
• The tunnel passages slow down ghosts - use them as safe zones when being chased
• Don't get trapped in corners - always plan your escape route before entering dead ends
• Eat ghosts in sequence (200, 400, 800, 1600 points) after power pellets for maximum scoring
• Clear one side of the maze completely before crossing to avoid getting surrounded
