2024-06-09 | Gabriel Androsiglio | Entertainingly chaotic! I only play a few games a week or so, but they're still pretty fun regardless. I'd tweak some of the powerups so they're less useless or annoying and actually helpful, but they're fine for the most part. Ads are present, but mostly optional. Really no other complaints. Never found any bugs ir glitches, aside from the raging wall of glitches chasing behind ya every run-but I think it's intentional... | |
2024-05-28 | joshua gilmore | Fun game, worth the download. My only complaint in the years and multiple devices I've put this on, is that the map hasn't been updated yet. There's maybe 7 configurations that you run through in a randomly generated manner, would it be possible to add a few more in the mix? Maybe some inspired by Ms. Pacman? And although I do like the extra powerups, maybe a challenge mode where the only power is the power pellet, or a change in orientation so you "run" from right to left, or vice versa. | |
2024-04-16 | Joe C | Game is fun! I've been playing this for a while. Only complaint is at this point I've bought all the in game rewards, which are maxed out at level 12. Would be nice if that limit were raised with rewards of longer duration or new rewards added. For example if the "cherries" reward could be upgraded to other fruit. Or get the option to only have one or two rewards instead of three to make it easier to collect for quests. | |
2024-03-15 | Vinn Corbitt | Love love loove this game they give you percs (over time) but that's all you gotta do it wait a little bit, i.e. you don't gotta spend money π©·π€π©·π₯° it also has different themes you can play and try for free and you can buy it you like it or you can play allot and win big and then you can buy it with your winning coins! Soo amazing and only have to watch ads if you choose to, to get more coins. Does NOT cost any coins to start/play game!!! Again does NOT cost any money or game coins to play π€ | |
2023-08-18 | Undead_LumberJack | Pretty cool Pac-Man game with a twist. You play in portrait mode which is nice but if you turn your device sideways you can also play in landscape mode which is awesome π Graphically it's great and plays great very enjoyable. Similar to normal Pac-Man but with new power ups and "The Matrix" behind youππ It isn't very ad heavy which is good and you can play until you die without any interruptions which is great. If you like Pac-Man it's definitely worth trying out, I Enjoy it a lot. | |
2023-05-17 | OctoChris | I cannot stop playing. The graphics stay true to the original Pac-Man while the game introduces new mechanics such as powerups which are upgradable. I'd recommend this game to literally anyone that enjoys pacman. Edit: 5 years later and this game is still such a treasure. It's a great way to pass the time even if you're offline. No crashes, no bugs/glitches, and no lag. The game still runs as smooth as ever. | |
2022-12-15 | Glenn Sullivan (HardAct) | This is a fantastic mobile game!! ..... This version is superior to the console & PC versions as powerups level to 12 versus only 8. This makes the end game the perfect pick up and play for minutes or hours depending on your mood. A single game lasts just about 5 minutes on average and is easily my alltime favorite game to play when gaming on a phone! | |
2022-09-06 | Dori Cuarisma | I like this game. I like the challenges and earning coins. There's no ads unless you need to earn coins. I'm good with the over 10000 coins I earned from the challenges. I rated it 4 out of 5 only because some of the power ups are a pain. Lol! For instance, the magnet and regen is a waste of time. The magnet not only grabs the fruits and extra coins, but it grabs the power ups when I needed it π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ. The regen lays down more coins, but I'm not going back to grab more coins. | |
2022-03-04 | FrozenBurst 64 | Game is a pretty fun, endless version of Pac-Man. Just go as far as you can, eat as many Pac-Dots, fruit, ghosts, and Power-Ups as possible. It is very simple but still requires strategy and good reflexes to get a good score. There is only a few issues with the game though. Game crashes a good amount of times, thankfully it is when you just start a game, so you don't lost much, but it is still annoying. | |
2021-09-15 | kev john | I've been playing Pac-Man since I was a kid in the 80s. Since that time, I've played multiple versions on multiple platforms but I've never encountered a version that worked well without a joystick, until now. PM 256 took about 12 seconds to get used to, but after that gameplay feels very fun and natural. I like the various power ups and the set roles the ghosts have. I've only been playing for a week, so it's tough for me to say it's perfect. But I can't name any flaws so it's 5 stars from me. |
