About Pac-Man

Welcome to the timeless classic, Pac-Man! Step into the neon-lit maze and get ready for an iconic arcade experience that has captivated players for generations. You are the legendary yellow hero, Pac-Man, and your goal is simple but challenging: navigate the labyrinth, munch all the dots, and avoid the pesky ghosts hot on your tail!

This pixel-perfect recreation brings back the retro charm and addictive gameplay that made Pac-Man a global phenomenon. Whether you're a seasoned veteran aiming for a new high score or a newcomer discovering the magic for the first time, the thrill of the chase is always fresh.

How to Play

The rules are easy to learn but difficult to master. Get ready to put your reflexes and strategy to the test!

Objective

Your main goal is to clear the maze by eating all the small white dots (Pac-Dots) scattered throughout. Once every dot is gone, you'll advance to the next, more challenging level.

Controls

• Arrow Keys / WASD: Use the arrow keys (↑, ↓, ←, →) or W, A, S, D keys to control Pac-Man's movement. Pac-Man will continue moving in a direction until he hits a wall or you give him a new command.

Key Elements

• Pac-Dots: These are the small dots that fill the maze. Eat them all to win the level. Each one adds to your score.
• Power Pellets: The larger, flashing dots located in the corners of the maze are Power Pellets. Eating one of these will temporarily turn the tables! The ghosts will turn dark blue and become vulnerable.
• Ghosts (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde): These colorful apparitions are your nemeses. Their mission is to catch you. If a ghost touches you, you lose a life.
• Eating Ghosts: While a Power Pellet is active, you can chase down and eat the blue ghosts for a massive score bonus! After being eaten, their eyes will scurry back to the central "ghost cage" to regenerate. Be quick, the effect doesn't last long!
• Bonus Fruits: Occasionally, a bonus fruit will appear in the middle of the maze for a limited time. Grab it for extra points!

Tips for Survival

• Know Your Enemy: Each ghost has a unique personality and patrol pattern. Learning their behavior is key to outsmarting them.
• Use the Tunnels: The tunnels on the sides of the maze will instantly transport you to the opposite side. Use them to make a quick escape!
• Plan Your Route: Don't just wander aimlessly. Try to clear sections of the maze efficiently, and always have an escape route in mind, especially when approaching a Power Pellet.

Good luck, and happy munching! Can you achieve the perfect score?
