This game is amazing! This was so nostalgic because we played this when we were little.
It was great to get eaten by the ghosts in this beautiful 3d pac-man game.
This we game is nostalgia we remember playing this game on our moms phone and its just a good game and a great game to wait for something.
This game is so fun. We would rate it five stars.
This is a 5/5 because it just makes the game better in the best way its just awesome and it gives good vibes.
We totally dig this! We wish it had a way to play the original version. But this does help our PAC man fix.
So we just started playing this game today and oh our God its wonderful. It is a 3-D pixel wonderful. Its Pac-Man. Wonderful everything is wonderful and perfect. Perfect game five stars.
Achievement Suggestions. This game is so amazing! We have been playing for around 3 years. Can pac-man 256 create more achievements? We have made a list of some ideas. -Ultra 512: Complete 2-256 pac-dot chains in one game. -Hunger For Ghosts: Eat 5 or more ghosts during Scatter Mode. Ghost Hunter: Eat 500 or more total ghosts in Scatter Mode. -Marathon: Travel 262 (distance) in a single run. -Olympian: Reach 10,000 score in a single game. -Smoothie: Eat 5 fruit in one game. -Into The Future: Use 5 different teleporters in the same game. You could also add achievements for each power-up. -Magnetized: Absorb 10,000 Pac-dots with one Magnet power-up. -Ninja: Pass through 10,000 ghosts while using the Ghost power-up. -Shocking: Electrocute 10,000 ghosts while using the Electric power-up. Double Trouble: Destroy 10,000 ghosts while using the Twinado power-up. And so on. Also, if you take this into consideration, could you add Shade Crampton to the Special Thanks To section of the Credits.
Pad man is cool we like the pac man of the pac the man ok actually though this game is super fun.
It is the best pac man game ever it has so many characters and power The game is for pac man fans We Love PAC MAN.
Its funny until we d@ed and we were we dont remember him saying.
So cool so cool so cool. We love it. We love it. We love it love love love love, Pac-Man, Pac-Man Pac-Man glitch, glitch, glitch, glitch, so cool.
This is one of the best PAC Man we ever played and spend lots of hours playing it. We really enjoyed this thanks so much.
We love the colors and the power up's our favorite.
When we were young we always play Pac-Man so this endless round game is nostalgic.
Its just fun playing all you want, with no ads.
Why did you shutdown the mobile PAC-MAN game? There must be a good explanation for this.
We love pac man and this endless pac man game is one of our favorite ways to play pac man.
We like this game because Im 6 years old.
Very amazing, just add the beam power up please.
Already said why we like it in the title but if you are a pac man fan you will like this game.
Game is smooth, fun, and exciting.
OMG This is so great we love it we cant stop playing it you should get it.
This is a pretty fun game. This is not the normal PAC-MAN. Its more fun because of the various ghosts, the endless mazes, and the power-ups. This is a great game to play offline with barely any ads.
This our childhood feels like an old era of games back when they were all unique and the devs actually cared, the themes are very cool too.
This game is so cool it it like the Arcade but your house we has cool themes like classic and Crossy Road because it is made by the people Who made Crossy Road.
This game turns the tables on pac-man. New ghost types and each have unique ai, abilities added to take out the ghosts, and the infamous pac-man kill screen glitch coming after you for no turning back, Best pac-man we ever played.
This is a nice relaxing game, and in our opinion better than the original pac-man graphics wise. Overall awesome.
So good that we like playing it. We like playing this game and we like how you added that glitch when you play Pac-Man actually comes and then die. This game is good chase out.
BANDAI NAMCO should make more games like this.
Ive been playing this game For a long time, Im really starting to love it.
This game is awesome!! We love playing it while we are waiting or watching a scary movie and when it gets to scary we can just open the app and start playing!! The best part is your friends or family dont even know youre scared. Its a great game to get your mind off things or if you are bored. If you are thinking about getting this game for your kids we think it is a great option! We are 12 and our mom is strict about the internet so when she opens the app for us we immediately fell in love!! You can change the themes such as Crossy roads, the office classic 80s or original, which makes it 100 times better than just regular Pac-Man!! You try to beat your high score and to play all you have to do is swipe for which direction you want to go!!! This is a great game for kids teens and adults!! 5 stars definitely recommended.
It's the best game ever but please put a new set to but if you make it transformers it would be awesome thanks bye have a nice life.
This is not an AI comment, this is an honest review saying that this mobile game revived pac-man for us. We play this game almost everyday and it never gets boring because of all the new things introduced to pac-man and its just amazingly well made. Definitely deserves a better review than this.
New take on the classic pac man love that the board is continuous.
Bring the original Pac-Man game back on the App Store. Make it have 3D graphics.
Why is pac man gone from app store.
Ok the game is fun and if you no po lay we will rizz you in Ohio.
This is our favorite is in our favorite we love it we love you we love it we love it we love it we love it our favorite game our favorite game our favorite game our favorite game.
This is like the best pac-man of all time,like, we love this game sooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
This is the best game ever created by man.
We give this game a five out of five.
PAC MAN is the best time killer and strategy game its also popular.
This game is so relaxing its fun and brain training.
Wish we were given 3 lives like the original but overall great classic game.
It super cool on the busting about it is that its super challenging too.
This is honestly just the best game ever please try it.
We love this game of the Pac-Man series, its always the best game series of all time! Just a little thing that this app is the ONLY Pac-Man app available that is not Apple Arcade, and NO other Pac-Man app besides Apple Arcade hasnt been available since the original game apps shutdown. Im disappointed that this is the only Pac-Man app thats none Apple Arcade, we think this game series deserves to have more Pac-Man apps. Because almost ALL Pac-Man apps have shutdown from the past when there were a TON of them when the internet was first introduced, but now all there is is justone app of Pac-Man.. We think Namco should introduce new Pac-Man apps that at least WONT shut down later on, we really would like to play new Pac-Man apps if they come out, but besides that Pac-Man 256 is a great game, but Im just saying that this is the only Pac-Man Non-Apple Arcade game currently available, and this series needs more apps for better legacy of an iconic 80s gaming character.
We love pac-man championship edition dx but pac-man 256 is as good if not better. We played 256 on 3 different platforms. While mobile isnt the best way to play, the fame translates to mobile well and its free without any predatory monetization. You dont have to pay a cent to play hundreds of engaging hours of gameplay. We will never get sick of this game. If we could only play 1 video game it would be pacman 256.
