Inspired by the legendary Pac-Man, Shmaze takes the maze chase concept and makes it endlessly replayable with procedurally generated mazes -- no two runs share the same layout. Navigate twisting corridors that are different every time, gobble up dots to rack up points, and grab a variety of power-ups that go well beyond the original's single power pellet. Speed boosts, ghost freezes, and score multipliers keep the action varied and surprising.

The ghost AI is where Shmaze really stands out. Each ghost has its own distinct personality and hunting strategy -- one might chase you relentlessly, another cuts you off at intersections, and a third patrols its territory waiting for you to wander in. Learning how each ghost thinks is the key to surviving the later mazes. The procedural generation means you cannot just memorize a safe route; you have to read the maze and adapt on the fly.

Shmaze is part of SHMARCADE, a collection of free retro browser games. Every run is recorded so you can watch replays of any top score on the global leaderboard, challenge friends head-to-head with shareable links, and climb the rankings. It works on desktop and mobile with touch controls -- no download, no install, just pure arcade action.
