About this game

Pako is a maze chase built around clearing the eggs of invasive space pests. The story presents one hundred tests of the creature's ability to eliminate those eggs, with monsters, traps and bonuses added to challenge each attempt.

The default directions use the arrow keys. Pako offers two input styles: Event mode reacts to individual key presses, while Sampling mode requires you to hold a direction. F4 switches between them, so check the current mode if movement feels different from what you expect.

F2 and F3 use the game's own save and load functions. F7 toggles Turbo, which doubles the documented movement speed, and F6 cycles the sound output. Learn a maze at ordinary speed before increasing the pace. Controls can be reassigned through Key Definition, and the game has a separate Save Config option for its settings.
