About

A fresh take on the beloved maze chase. Navigate through carefully designed mazes, collecting every pellet while dodging ghosts that grow smarter with each level. Three distinct maze layouts keep the experience varied as you progress.

Each level adds another ghost to the pursuit — up to four in total — and both your speed and theirs increase. Clearing all pellets earns a time bonus and advances you to the next maze. Quick thinking and route planning are the keys to a high score.

Difficulty

Each level introduces an additional ghost (up to four) and increases both your speed and ghost speed. Ghost AI becomes more aggressive in later levels, tracking your position more accurately. Three different maze layouts rotate between levels.

Scoring

Each pellet is worth 10 points multiplied by the current level. Clearing a maze awards a time bonus — the faster you finish, the bigger the reward. Your personal best and last five scores are stored locally in your browser.
