Pac-Man FAQs
How do I eat the ghosts?
There are four large, flashing "Power Pellets" in the corners of the maze. Eating one turns the ghosts dark blue, allowing you to eat them for bonus points.
Is there an end to the game?
Technically, yes. In the original code, the game crashes at level 256 due to an integer overflow error, creating the infamous "kill screen". Getting there, however, is incredibly difficult.
Why do some ghosts seem to trap me?
The red ghost follows you, but the pink and blue ghosts actually predict where you are going. If you stay in one area too long, they will surround you.
Can I play this on my iPhone?
Yes! Once the game loads, touch interaction allows you to swipe in the direction you wish to travel upon reaching an intersection.
