And with bonus cherries to collect and ghosts to avoid, each run keeps you coming back for more.

Get the hang of Tapman in seconds. The controls are simple but strategic, built for quick reflexes and split-second decisions. Here's how it breaks down:

  • Use the arrow keys to move quickly around the maze and dodge enemies.
  • Collect all the white dots to clear the level before the clock runs out or the monsters catch you.
  • Eat cherries to boost your score and power through tough sections of the level.
  • Watch out for ghosts—hit one and it's game over unless you’ve eaten a power-up.
