How to Earn Points or Progress in Dumb Pacman

Points in Dumb Pacman are earned based on various actions and achievements within each level. Here’s how you can maximize your points and progress through the game:

Collecting Pellets

Basic Pellets: Each pellet you collect adds points to your score. The more pellets you gather, the higher your score.
Power Pellets: These larger pellets give you temporary power to chase and eat the ghosts, providing a significant points boost for each ghost you consume during this period.

Ghosts

No Death Bonus: Completing a level without losing a life can give you additional points.
