The game uses a top-down single-screen maze view. Players control Pac-Man, collect items spread across the maze, and avoid pursuing ghosts. Gift boxes appear in each stage, and certain items can temporarily weaken enemies. Miru, the companion character, moves around the maze and may help carry items or disrupt planned routes. Each stage is cleared by collecting all required items while staying alive, with enemy speed and pressure increasing over time.

Game-specific controls
Gameplay
Characters
Pac-Man
The player character who gathers items through the maze while escaping enemies.
Miru
The game's signature companion, whose movement and item interactions affect stage flow.
Ghosts
The enemies that chase Pac-Man and create the main challenge in each maze.
Strategy
Watch Miru's movement before committing to a route, since the companion can change item positions and alter your plan. Areas near gift boxes are often dangerous, so clear nearby safe lanes first and keep an escape route open. When ghosts start to converge, do not overcommit to distant items; stay near corners and intersections to reduce the chance of being trapped. If you gain a chance to counterattack, remove enemies blocking key paths first.

Tips and tricks
- Do not rush straight for gift boxes at the start; learn the rhythm of the ghosts and Miru first.
- Keep central lanes or corner-heavy areas available for emergency movement.
- Avoid long straight routes when chased; sharp turns improve survival.
