My first tip is, as it’s a Pac-Man game, you should be aware of the ghosts behaviors, and in UltiMix, you can even make the game run in a slower pace, so you have more time to react.
For the ghosts, the majority targets the players in very specific ways, with Blinky targeting you, Pinky in front of you, Inky ambushing you with Blinky’s help, Clyde who retreat in a corner when you’re too close to him, Sue targets you when she spots you, Funky goes behind you, Spunky targets you when she is fully awake, etc…
You can even spot the ghosts behaviors when you play with some game looks like the Enhanced look.
