Q&A
The objective of Pac-Man is to navigate through a maze, eat all the dots (also known as pellets), and avoid being caught by the ghosts. When Pac-Man eats all the dots in the maze, the player progresses to the next level.
Pac-Man can eat the ghosts only after consuming a power pellet, which is a larger, flashing dot located in the corners of the maze. After eating a power pellet, the ghosts turn blue and Pac-Man can eat them for bonus points. However, this effect is temporary and the ghosts will revert to their original state after a short period.
A fruit appears in the maze periodically and provides Pac-Man with additional bonus points when eaten. The type of fruit and the amount of bonus points it offers vary depending on the level.
