About Pacman
Pacman is the arcade legend that started it all. Guide the hungry yellow hero through a neon maze, gobbling every pellet while four ghosts — Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde — hunt you down. Clear the maze to advance, chase high scores, and see how long you can survive as the mazes get faster and the ghosts get smarter.
How to play
Use the arrow keys (or WASD) to steer Pacman through the maze. Eat all the pellets to clear the level. Grab a flashing power pellet to turn the ghosts blue — then hunt them down for bonus points before they flash white and recover. Clearing the maze moves you to a faster, trickier level.
Controls
Arrow keys or WASD to move. On mobile, swipe to change direction. Pro tip: Pacman can queue a turn slightly before a corner, so plan your route one intersection ahead.
Tips for a high score
Clear one side of the maze first so you always have an escape route, save power pellets for moments when two or more ghosts close in, and learn the ghosts' personalities: Blinky chases, Pinky ambushes ahead of you, Inky is unpredictable and Clyde mostly wanders — use that to bait them apart.
