More about this game
Navigate a glowing grid to consume every standard dot for 10 points each while avoiding four unique ghosts. Each ghost has its own behavior, from direct pursuit to cutting off your path. Eating one of the four power pellets grants 50 points and makes the ghosts vulnerable for 10 seconds, slowing them down to a speed of 126. A run ends when you lose all three lives, but clearing the board advances you to the next level with a 1000-point bonus plus 250 points per remaining life.
Tips
- Eating ghosts in succession while a 10-second power pellet is active multiplies their value, starting at 200 points per ghost.
- A cherry appears when you have eaten 55 percent of the dots; grab it within 12 seconds for 500 points.
- Use the open tunnels on the left and right sides of the maze to instantly wrap to the opposite side.
Questions
How do the ghosts behave?
Blinky chases you directly at a speed of 184. Pinky targets four tiles ahead of you, Inky flanks based on Blinky's position, and Clyde retreats to the corner when close.
What happens when I eat a power pellet?
Ghosts turn blue, slow down to a speed of 126, and flee for exactly 10 seconds. You can eat them for combo points, sending them back to the center.
How do the ghosts spawn into the maze?
Blinky starts outside immediately. The others wait in the center box and release on a timer: Pinky at 2.5 seconds, Inky at 6 seconds, and Clyde at 10 seconds.
