What is Hexa-Pacman?
You guide Pac-Man around a maze full of small dots. Eating every dot clears the level. Four ghosts chase you; if one touches you, you lose a life. The large flashing dots are power pellets. Eat one and the ghosts turn blue for a few seconds, so you can eat them for bonus points.
How to play Hexa-Pacman
Use the arrow keys to move up, down, left and right. On touch screens, use the on-screen controls or swipe.
Step by step
- Start moving and eat the dots along the corridors.
- Keep an eye on where the ghosts are heading.
- When ghosts get close, head for a power pellet.
- While the ghosts are blue, chase them for bonus points.
- Eat the last dot to clear the maze and move to the next level.
Strategy tips to play better
- Save power pellets until ghosts are near you; eating one with no ghosts around wastes it.
- Clear long corridors first so you are not trapped later collecting single dots.
- Use the side tunnels to escape; ghosts slow down in them in the classic game.
- Turn corners early by pressing the direction just before you reach the turn.
- When ghosts start flashing, the power is about to end. Stop chasing and move away.
