The game Pac-Man follows the journey of a small, yellow character who aims to clear a maze by consuming dots and fruit while avoiding four ghosts: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. The ghosts will try to catch Pac-Man if they touch him, and he can gain an advantage by eating one of the Power-Pills located around the maze.
The gameplay involves navigating Pac-Man through the maze, eating pellets, fruits, and occasionally power pellets to get rid of the ghosts. When a ghost touches Pac-Man, his life is lost. However, if Pac-Man eats a power pellet, he becomes invulnerable for a short time, allowing him to eat the ghosts and earn extra points.
