Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when Pac-Man eats a power pellet?
Ghosts turn blue and reverse direction for a few seconds, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for increasing point values.

Do the ghosts behave differently?
Yes! Each ghost has unique patterns: Blinky (red) chases aggressively, Pinky (pink) ambushes, Inky (cyan) uses unpredictable tactics, and Clyde (orange) moves randomly.

How do I get the highest score?
Prioritize eating multiple ghosts consecutively after a power pellet (up to 200, 400, 800, 1600 points) and collect every fruit bonus while clearing mazes efficiently.
