👾 Pac-Man Style Game

The Pac-Man style game is a maze navigation challenge where players must collect dots while avoiding ghosts to verify they are human.

Game Mechanics

In this game:

1. Players control a character that navigates through a maze
2. The maze contains dots that the player must collect
3. Ghosts patrol the maze and will end the verification if they catch the player
4. Players must collect a target number of dots to pass the verification

Controls

• Arrow Keys: Move the player character
• Touch/Swipe: Change direction (mobile/touch devices)

Verification Process

The verification is successful when:

• The player collects the target number of dots (varies by difficulty)
• The player completes the challenge without being caught by ghosts

2. Dynamic Ghost Behavior: Ghosts use a combination of random and pursuit movement patterns
3. Behavior Analysis: The system analyzes player movement patterns to detect bot-like behavior
4. Timing Verification: Completions that are too quick or with inhuman precision are flagged
5. Anti-Automation Measures: The game includes measures to prevent programmatic solutions

Accessibility
