Fun Facts About Pac-Man for Kids

Today, I’ll talk about the exciting facts about Pac-Man. Get ready. Go.

How it works

Pac-Man looks like a yellow circle without one piece shaped like a pie. The gap represents the mouth. You control the Pac-Man figure who eats Pac-dots during the game while moving through the maze. Pac-Man can only go to the next level if he swallows all the screen dots. But if his enemies, such as Blinky, Clyde, Pinky, or Inly, touch Pac-Man, he loses part of his life.
