How to Play Piranha (older)

Quick start

Follow a route through the first dots while watching the next junction.
Change direction before a ghost closes the passage.
Use an energizer to escape a dangerous grouping or eat vulnerable ghosts.
Return for remaining dots without relying on the energizer after its warning flashes.

Controls

Use the four directions to guide Pac-Man through the maze. Eating dots, fruit and energizers happens on contact. Blue ghosts can be eaten; flashing warns that their vulnerable period is ending. Side tunnels lead to the opposite edge.

Piranha (older) — About this game

Power pellets temporarily make pursuers vulnerable, allowing the chase to reverse.
