Gameplay FAQ

How do I power up in ms. pac-man?

Collect any of the four big flashing Power Pellets positioned on the mazes; once eaten, your main character flips roles to chomper, and you turn the tables by chasing each ghost (even Blinky, Pinky) over the next timer duration to score large bonuses per ghost.

Can ghosts actually hurt me?

Yes. Each ghost except when you are powered and pursuing after being touched causes the lose of one life; after losing all three, the game resets, then begins anew starting on the score tallies that are present for replay fun runs.

Are Ms. Pac-Man's controls straightforward?

Yes. The primary navigation relies on Atari 7800 Joystick (like arrow keys) for changing Ms. Pac-Man's directions—simply press up/left to navigate paths while also avoiding walls or ghost corners. Most classic systems allow key or joypad remappings.
