About Pac-Man
This Pac-Man is an accurate remake of the 1980 arcade classic, rebuilt from research into how the original machine really works. The ghosts follow their authentic personalities: Blinky chases you directly, Pinky tries to cut you off, and Inky and Clyde keep you guessing.
From the title screen you can choose three games. Pac-Man uses the famous original maze, Ms. Pac-Man brings her colorful mazes, and Cookie-Man generates brand new random mazes as you advance. Each game also offers a Turbo mode, a Practice mode where you can pick a level, slow down time and rewind, the classic cutscenes, and a Learn screen that introduces the ghosts and fruit.
It is perfect for retro fans who want the real arcade feel, and for newcomers who want a place to practice before chasing a high score.
How to play
Guide Pac-Man through the maze and eat every dot to clear the level. Avoid the ghosts, or eat a flashing power pellet to turn them blue and chase them for bonus points. Grab the fruit that appears for extra score. You lose a life when a ghost catches you, and the game ends when all lives are gone.

Tips
- Press or swipe the next direction just before a corner so Pac-Man turns without slowing down.
- Save the power pellets until ghosts are close, then eat as many blue ghosts as you can for up to 1600 points each.
- Pac-Man moves slightly faster through empty corridors than when eating dots, so clear paths are good escape routes.
- Use Practice mode to pick a later level and study how the ghosts behave before playing for real.

FAQ
Is Pac-Man free to play?
Yes. It is completely free and runs in your browser with no download or sign-up.
Can I play on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Swipe in the direction you want Pac-Man to go and tap the menus. The maze is tall, so it fits best on a phone held upright.
What is the difference between Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Cookie-Man?
They share the same rules but use different mazes: the original Pac-Man maze, the Ms. Pac-Man mazes, or randomly generated mazes in Cookie-Man. Your high score is saved in your browser for each game.
