Pac-Man

The game uses a top-down maze view. The player moves Pac-Man with directional inputs to eat every pellet on the screen and advance to the next maze. Power pellets in the corners temporarily turn ghosts blue, allowing them to be eaten for bonus points; eaten ghosts return to the center as eyes and are restored. Success depends on route planning, tight turns, and timing your escapes and counterattacks.

Pac-Man

The protagonist controlled by the player, tasked with clearing the maze of pellets while avoiding ghosts.

Blinky

The red ghost, usually the most aggressive pursuer.

Pinky

The pink ghost, often trying to intercept from ahead or at angles.

Inky

The blue-green ghost, known for less predictable movement.

Clyde

The orange ghost, alternating between chasing and roaming behavior.

Learn a reliable route around the maze edges and corners so you do not trap yourself. Save power pellets for moments when ghosts are nearby, and decide whether to eat them based on your escape path. When several ghosts converge, use turns and backtracking to create space rather than forcing a straight-line retreat.

Tips and tricks

• A perimeter-first clearing route helps reduce unnecessary backtracking.
• Power pellets are most valuable when ghosts are already close.
• Do not chase points so far that you lose your escape route.
