Pac-Man is a classic arcade maze game where players control the titular character to eat dots while avoiding colorful ghosts in a labyrinth.
Opens the game player in a new browser tab.
You control Pac-Man through a maze filled with small dots, power pellets, and four ghosts. Your objective is to clear all dots from the maze while avoiding contact with the ghosts. Use the joystick to move Pac-Man in four directions through the corridors. Each dot you eat earns points, and eating all dots completes the level. The four ghosts—Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde—each have unique movement patterns as they pursue you.
When you eat a power pellet, the ghosts turn blue and become vulnerable for a short time, allowing you to eat them for bonus points. Eating multiple ghosts in succession increases their point value. As you progress, levels become faster and more challenging. Focus on memorizing ghost patterns and using power pellets strategically to clear paths and maximize scores. In tense moments, use quick direction changes and corners to evade ghosts.
If the keyboard does not respond, click the game screen first and check the actual key mappings in the player controls. Arrow keys scrolling the page can mean the game does not have input focus.
On a phone, check whether the player provides touch buttons. Try landscape or fullscreen if the controls are too small. After connecting a gamepad, press a button with the game focused and check whether the player recognizes it.
