The pacman 30th anniversary edition celebrates the iconic game with a few basic rules. Players navigate Pacman through a maze, eating all the dots while avoiding four ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. Eating power pellets allows Pacman to temporarily turn the tables, consuming the ghosts for extra points. The goal is to clear the maze of all dots and advance to the next level. Bonus fruits appear intermittently, offering additional points. The game ends if Pacman loses all his lives by being caught by ghosts. Mastering these fundamentals is key to enjoying and excelling at Pacman.
