About This Maze Chase Game
Maze chase games combine navigation, timing and quick decisions. You move through connected corridors, collect items and try to avoid enemies that patrol or pursue you. A good route can help you gather more points while keeping an escape path open.
This Gameso page contains an original, self-contained browser maze game. The maze, character drawings, movement logic and enemy behaviour are implemented directly in this page. The game does not load a third-party game through an iframe.
Your goal is to clear the collectible dots while protecting your lives. Larger power pellets temporarily make the ghosts vulnerable, giving you an opportunity to move through dangerous corridors or earn bonus points. As you make progress, the challenge increases.
