About

Maze action game where you guide a yellow, mouth-shaped character through a single-screen labyrinth. Your goal: clear every dot while four ghosts—each with distinct movement patterns—chase you down. The maze has no exits, so survival depends on tight cornering and route planning. Scattered power pellets flip the script temporarily, turning ghosts blue and edible for bonus points. Rounds repeat with faster ghosts after you clear the board. The four pursuers don't just swarm—they cut off angles and anticipate your path, forcing split-second decisions at every junction. Simple two-button controls (just direction changes) make it easy to start, but mastering ghost behavior and optimizing pellet routes takes real practice. Best for players who enjoy spatial puzzles under pressure and don't mind repetition with escalating difficulty.
