About Paku Paku
Paku Paku is a miniature maze-chase game — a deliberate homage to Pac-Man built at a tiny resolution with a limited palette. You clear dots from a small maze while ghosts pursue you, with power-ups that let you turn on them briefly.
It comes from the world of tiny-game frameworks, where the constraint is the point: a complete game in a few kilobytes. What's remarkable is how much of the original's tension survives at that size.

Paku Paku tips
- The maze is small, so ghosts converge quickly — keep an escape route in mind at all times.
- Use the corners; ghosts take them badly.
- Take the power-up when two ghosts are close, not when you're safe.
- Speed increases each round rather than the layout changing.
Paku Paku — questions
Is Paku Paku the same as Pac-Man?
It's a small homage rather than a port — the same maze-chase idea, built in miniature with its own layout and feel.
Why is it so small?
It's built with a tiny-game framework where the whole game fits in a few kilobytes. The constraint is deliberate and part of the appeal.
Does it work on a Chromebook?
Yes — it's among the lightest games in the catalogue.
