Pac Mini

Pac Mini was one of those simple Flash games you'd find in the early 2000s, a time when a browser could become an arcade. It felt like a direct, compact take on the familiar maze chase formula, stripped down for a quick play session between other tasks. The game didn't make a big fuss about itself; it just loaded and let you start.

You control a small yellow character through a series of tight, monochrome mazes. Your goal is to clear each stage by eating all the dots while avoiding the roaming ghosts. The ghosts move in predictable patterns, which you learn through repetition. Eating a power pellet temporarily lets you turn the tables and chase them for extra points. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty builds steadily as the ghosts become more persistent. It feels like a focused, almost meditative test of route planning and timing.
