Pacman Rush is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Pacman Rush is a game you can play in the gaps of the day.

Tips and tricks

  • Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
  • Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
  • If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
  • Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
  • Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.

Who will enjoy it

We would recommend Pacman Rush to players who prefer thinking to twitching, from casual brain-teaser fans to dedicated solvers. A typical session is a level or two in five minutes, or a long relaxed session. The learning curve is gentle at the start and genuinely tricky later. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
