About Pacman

You control the yellow, circular character through a maze, using the arrow keys to move. The goal is to eat all the small dots while avoiding four colored ghosts. If you eat a larger, flashing dot, the ghosts turn blue and you can chase them for extra points. The maze wraps around the sides, so you can escape by moving off one edge and appearing on the other. The game starts calmly but the pace quickens as the ghosts coordinate their movements, making later screens tense. It feels like a straightforward test of pattern recognition and quick decisions.
