You never move the dot directly; instead you rotate the entire maze and let gravity tumble it where you need.
Was this fun?
How to play
Rotate the maze ninety degrees at a time. The dot, and the chasing ghosts, fall straight down under gravity until a wall stops them. Pellets stay put, so steer the dot onto every pellet by reorienting the corridors, while keeping clear of the ghosts.
Spin the maze to redirect which way the dot falls
The dot drops under gravity until it's blocked
Collect all pellets to clear the level
A ghost reaching your cell ends the run
Controls
Desktop: left/right arrows or A and D to rotate; R to reset the level
Phone & tablet: keyboard recommended; use a connected keyboard for rotation controls
Game modes
Daily: a maze generated from the day's seed with unlimited rotations
Practice: hand-built tutorial and harder levels, plus an endless generated stream
Tips & strategy
Plan a sequence of spins, not one move, since every rotation moves the ghosts too
Sweep pellets into a corner so a single drop collects several at once
On budgeted levels, count your rotations and avoid wasted turns
