How to Play Google Pac-Man in Your Browser
The maze is small enough to hold in your head after two runs. That’s what makes it hard. You know where the corners are, and so does the one that comes straight for you.
Dots go quietly. There’s no fanfare when you clear one, just the slow business of emptying corridors while working out which route leaves you an exit.
The Four Google Pac-Man Ghosts and How They Chase
One heads at you. One aims a few squares ahead of where you’re going, which punishes running in straight lines. One turns more or less at random and is the reason careful play still goes wrong. The last one sits in a corner until you get close.
Google Pac-Man Power Pellets and Scoring
Four corners, four chances. Eat one and they all go pale and turn away for a few seconds. Catching them is worth double each time, so the run of four in one window is the biggest single score on the board.
Google Pac-Man Controls and the Turn Queue
Pressing a direction before you reach the junction stores it. It fires the moment that turn becomes legal. Once you trust the queue you stop hammering keys and start playing properly.

FAQ
How big is the maze?
Nineteen by thirteen cells with 119 dots and four power pellets. Clearing it takes a couple of minutes if the ghosts leave you alone.
Do all four ghosts behave the same?
No. One chases directly, one aims ahead of you, one moves unpredictably and one guards a corner until you come near.
What do the power pellets do?
They turn the ghosts pale and send them away for a few seconds. Each one you catch in that window is worth double the last.
Does it get harder?
Clearing the board starts a new round with faster ghosts. The maze itself stays the same.
Is there a way to make it easier?
Yes. Slowing the ghosts drops their speed for the rest of the session without affecting your score.
