How to play Pac-Maze Runner
Chomp golden dots in the maze, evade 4 ghosts and eat power pellets to counterattack.
Game Objective
Pac-Maze Runner is the world-renowned 8-bit retro arcade phenomenon. You navigate the iconic yellow hero through a neon blue labyrinth. Your objective is to eat every single glowing golden dot scattered across corridors while outsmarting and evading four relentless ghosts!
You begin with 3 lives. Colliding with a normal ghost costs one life. Losing all 3 lives terminates your run.
Power Pellets & Ghost Hunting
- Standard Dots (+10 pts): Line every corridor; eating all dots completes the level.
- Power Pellets (+50 pts): Four flashing giant pellets resting in the corners. Ingesting one turns all ghosts into frightened blue phantoms for 7 seconds!
- Chomping Ghosts (+200, +400, +800 pts): While ghosts are vulnerable and blue, Pacman can turn around and devour them for massive cascading score multipliers!
Side Warp Tunnels
The far left and right edges feature interconnected warp tunnels. Escaping into the left tunnel instantly teleports you out the right tunnel, giving you a clutch escape route when cornered!
