Maze Munch — The Classic Pac-Man Style Maze Chase Game

Maze Munch is a free browser arcade game that faithfully recreates the classic Pac-Man experience. Guide a golden chomping circle through a hardcoded arcade maze, eating every pellet in sight while four ghosts with distinct personalities hunt you down. Authentic, nostalgic, and built entirely from code with zero external sprites.

How It Works

Navigate the maze, eating standard pellets worth 10 points each. Four power pellets sit in the corners — eat one and all four ghosts turn blue, fleeing in fright for 7 seconds. Chase them down during this window for escalating rewards: 200, 400, 800, then 1,600 points for consecutive catches. Bonus fruit also appears mid-level — a cherry worth 100 points after 70 pellets eaten, and a strawberry worth 300 points after 170.

Clear every pellet in the maze to win. Get caught by a ghost while it is not frightened, and it is game over.

The Four Ghosts

• Blinky (red) — chases you directly and speeds up when few pellets remain
• Pinky (pink) — ambushes by targeting tiles ahead of your position
• Inky (cyan) — uses unpredictable pivot movement around Blinky’s position
• Clyde (orange) — chases from a distance but retreats when he gets close

Each ghost has its own full AI behavior, faithfully recreating the strategic depth that made the original arcade classic so replayable.
