This compact Pacman-inspired maze chase keeps the classic arcade rhythm: sweep up every pellet, read the ghosts as they approach each junction, protect your remaining lives, and use each limited power pellet at the right moment. Every cleared board starts a quicker level, while your best score stays saved on the device or in the connected MCP host.
How to play
Use arrow keys or WASD on a keyboard, swipe directly on the maze, or tap the mobile direction pad. Pacman remembers your requested turn and takes it at the next open junction, so you can plan one corner ahead. Clear every small pellet and power pellet to advance to the next level.
Power pellets
The four large corner pellets briefly frighten every ghost and make them vulnerable. Catch frightened ghosts during that window for bonus points, but keep moving: they recover after several seconds and immediately resume the chase. Saving a power pellet can create a safe escape route late in the level.
Built for speed
The maze, pellets, player, and ghosts share one high-DPI canvas, backed by a fixed-step game loop that stays consistent across fast and slow screens. A tiny optimized embedded texture adds arcade atmosphere without another network request, while reduced-motion support, capped pixel density, and zero per-frame DOM creation keep play responsive.
