WHAT YOU GET

1980, FAITHFULLY The original 28×31 maze at 224×288, 240 dots and 4 energizers, the warp tunnel, and the fruit schedule from cherry to key.

THE REAL GHOST AI Each ghost picks its own target tile every intersection — including Pinky's famous "up" overflow bug, faithfully reproduced.

ARCADE TIMING Scatter and chase waves per level, frightened mode that shortens as you climb, ghost-house dot counters, Cruise Elroy speed-ups.

8-BIT SOUND Every effect is a code-generated square wave: the waka-waka chomp, the siren, the frightened wobble, the death spiral. Press M for silence.

CRT LOOK Scanlines, arcade palette, hand-made 5×7 bitmap font. Big crisp pixels, zero blur, no bitmap assets — it is all drawn in code.

NATIVE & SAFE Swift + SpriteKit. Developer ID signed, Apple-notarized, automatic updates via Sparkle. High score saved between sessions.
