Munch every dot in a hand-built maze, dodge four sly ghosts and grab a power pellet to turn the chase around.

Pac-Man is a compact maze chase built with the PixelJS engine. Clear all 277 dots while four ghosts leave their house one by one and hunt you down, each in a slightly different way.

Steer with the arrow keys, WASD, a gamepad or the on-screen d-pad, or swipe on the maze. Turns are buffered: press the next direction before you reach a corner and Pac-Man takes it the moment the way is open. Eat a power pellet in one of the four corners and the ghosts turn blue for a few seconds; catch several in a row for 200, 400, 800 and 1,600 points.

Each cleared maze starts a faster level. You have three lives, and after game over Enter, Space or a tap on the maze starts a new game. Sound begins with your first key press or tap.

An unofficial tribute: the maze, sprites, font, sounds and music are original. Pac-Man is a trademark of Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.
