How to play Ms. Peppers
Ms. Peppers is a free browser maze-chase game where you guide a bow-wearing pepper around a classic 28-by-31 tile maze, eat every pellet and avoid four sausage characters that chase you out of a central house.
Ms. Peppers is Uncle Larry's maze game, built on the classic arcade proportions: a symmetric board of glowing blue corridors, a sausage house in the middle, side tunnels that wrap from one edge to the other, and a power pellet in each corner.
Four sausage characters leave the house one at a time and alternate between chasing you and scattering to their own corner. Eat a corner power pellet and they turn blue and edible for a few seconds, which is when the big points are on the table.
- 1Start a run. Press Start game to release Ms. Peppers into the maze.
- 2Clear the pellets. Eat every pellet in the corridors. When the board is clear, the next level begins with faster sausages.
- 3Use the power pellets. The four large pellets in the corners turn the sausages blue and vulnerable. Eat them for escalating points before they flash and recover.
- 4Use the tunnels. The side tunnels wrap left to right. Crossing one is the fastest way to break a chase.
- 5Keep three lives. Touching a sausage that is not blue costs a life. Lose all three and the run ends.

- Eating vulnerable sausages during one power pellet doubles each time: 200, 400, 800 then 1600 points.
- Clearing every pellet completes the level and starts a faster one.
- Your best score is kept in your own browser and shown as Best above the maze.
Tips for a higher score
- Turn early. Queue the next direction before you reach the corner and Ms. Peppers turns the instant the gap opens.
- Save a corner power pellet until two or three sausages are close, then collect the doubling bonus in one sweep.
- Watch the flashing: a blue sausage that starts flashing is about to become dangerous again.
