PAC-MAN 256

PAC-MAN 256 is an arcade maze game where players control a character to navigate a maze. Players must move continuously within the maze; slow movement results in penalties. Players must find items within the maze to mitigate penalties and level up. The game supports gamepads. This version optimizes the bosses and adds new challenges. This type of game has few restrictions, allowing players to explore various gameplay options. It's an excellent game, and we hope you'll experience it!

Gameplay

This version differs from the original because it's infinite. That is, there are no levels. The game ends when a ghost kills you or catches you at the end of a level (based on a well-known glitch in the original game). If you don't move quickly enough through this endless maze, you'll suffer the consequences.

The game's controls are perfectly suited for touchscreen devices. Simply swipe your finger in the direction you want Pac-Man to move. As you progress through the maze, you can collect power-ups that will protect you from ghost attacks. You'll also find the famous pill that allows you to eat ghosts, as well as a special laser and some other new items.

User comments

This game is a very good modern take on the original PAC-MAN. I enjoy the low amount of ads, replaying for a higher score, and unique art style. I do have a few problems with it though. First of all, it hasn't received a meaningful update in probably about 4 years. Also, if I boot up the game while online, and then close it and then boot it up while offline later, it will work for about a day before having to boot it up online once again. So the offline functionality has some issues. 7.5/10.

Really Good game. Runs take about a few minutes on average, so you can play multiple times repeatedly. Gameplay is fun. The progression system could be better for getting new powers, but it doesn't take away from the experience. Had no issues with being able to run the game, and it didn't crash once. Overall, a great game for those who like classic Pac Man, with a twist.

looks a great addicting game. Nice, chill, low pressure fun, just the way I love it. But there seems to be a little bug and I'd appreciate it being looked at. The game just freezes after each game I lose, once I choose end game, it just freezes and usually I got to quit the app and restart it to keep playing. Definitely not ideal. Please fix this....

Summarize

PAC-MAN 256 reinvents the iconic arcade experience by introducing an endless maze, turning the traditional quest for high scores into an ever-escalating challenge. Players guide the familiar yellow character through an infinite grid of pellets, fruit, ghosts, and power-pills, all while outrunning a creeping digital “glitch” that consumes the screen from the bottom up—a clever nod to the original game's notorious 256th level glitch.
