About Pac Man
Pac-Man is a maze arcade game where you collect dots while avoiding the ghosts patrolling the corridors. Power pellets temporarily change the balance, giving you a chance to turn toward a ghost instead of running from it. Clearing the maze needs a route that leaves you somewhere useful when that advantage ends.
Watch the exits from a corridor before entering it. A long line of dots can be tempting, but a ghost at each end can make it a trap. Save a power pellet for a moment when it helps you open a difficult area rather than consuming every one immediately.
