This is a browser recreation of the classic 1980 Pac-Man arcade game. You navigate a maze, eat every dot, and avoid four ghosts - each with its own movement pattern. The game runs entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas, with no plugins or downloads required. It includes three playable versions: the original Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Cookie-Man, each with a distinct maze layout and visual style.
The core objective is the same across all versions: clear every dot in the maze without being caught. Power pellets in the four corners temporarily make ghosts vulnerable - eat them for bonus points while the effect lasts. Two fruits appear per stage as timed bonuses. Completing the board advances you to the next stage with faster ghost movement.
Regular dots are worth 10 points each. Power pellets give 50 points and open a window to eat frightened ghosts for bonus points. The ghost chain doubles with each kill in a single power-up window: 200, 400, 800, and 1,600 points. Eating all four ghosts in one window is worth 3,000 bonus points on top of the base chain. Fruits appear twice per stage and range from 100 to 5,000 points depending on the stage number.
Each of the four ghosts uses a different movement rule. Blinky (red) chases your current position directly. Pinky (pink) targets four tiles ahead of your current direction. Inky (cyan) uses a combined calculation based on both your position and Blinky's position, making his path harder to predict. Clyde (orange) chases you when far away but retreats to his corner when he gets close, which can make him surprisingly dangerous near the bottom-left of the maze. All ghosts alternate between chase and scatter phases - during scatter, each retreats to its own corner of the maze, creating brief windows of safety.
