Walkthrough

Mastering the Maze

Start by navigating the endless maze, collecting PAC-DOTS to increase your score. Avoid the classic ghosts—Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde—as well as revived retro-ghosts like Sue, Funky, Spunky, and Glitchy, each with unique movement patterns. Keep moving upward to stay ahead of the Glitch, which consumes the maze from below. Collect power pellets to temporarily turn ghosts vulnerable, allowing you to eat them for bonus points. Use power-ups like Laser or Tornado strategically to clear paths or eliminate ghosts. Aim for a 256 PAC-DOT combo to trigger a special surprise that clears all ghosts on-screen.

Leveraging Power-Ups and Upgrades

Earn experience points by playing to unlock and upgrade power-ups. Apple Arcade-exclusive features let you plan progression and unlock permanent boosts, such as increased speed or enhanced power-up duration. Experiment with different power-ups to find combinations that suit your playstyle. For example, the Giant power-up lets you smash through ghosts, while Stealth makes you invisible. Visit different worlds like PAC-MANIA or the retro classic for unique objectives that add variety to your runs.
