Pac-Man

Steer through a compact maze and eat every dot. Four ghosts hunt you, each with its own plan: one chases, one cuts you off, one flanks and one keeps its distance.

Grab a power pellet in a corner and the ghosts turn blue: eat them in a row for 200, 400, 800 and 1,600 points. Clear the maze and a faster one follows.

You have three lives. High scores are replayed and verified on the server, so the leaderboard only shows real games.
