Overview
Description

Ms. Pac-Man builds on the iconic Pac-Man formula, letting players navigate four distinct mazes filled with dots, fruit, and four colorful ghosts. The game adds new features like moving fruit and varied maze layouts to keep the classic chase fresh and challenging. After powering up with an energizer, Ms. Pac-Man can turn the tables and eat the ghosts for extra points, while humorous intermissions reveal the growing romance between Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, culminating in the arrival of Junior.

Pac-Man challenges players to guide the iconic yellow character through a maze, consuming all pac‑dots while avoiding four colorful ghosts. Power pellets grant temporary invincibility, letting Pac‑Man turn the tables and eat the pursuing enemies. Each cleared maze advances the player to a new stage with faster, more aggressive ghosts and intermission animations between levels. The game ends when all lives are lost, but a bonus life is awarded at 10,000 points, encouraging high‑score mastery.
