Bugs > Fun
Numbers, letters, and ghosts cover part of the screen and it gets worse the longer I play. The longest I've played is a minute because the scary digital bugs always win. Not with the price (and it's free).

    This game is so much fun and totally worth downloading. My only issue after playing it for years on different devices is that they haven't updated the map yet. It only goes through about 7 different setups in a random order. It would be great if they could add a few more, maybe get some ideas from Ms. Pacman? I like the extra power-ups, but how about a challenge mode where you only get the power pellet? Or mix it up so you're running from right to left or vice versa? That would be super chaotic! I don't play too often, maybe a few games a week, but they're always enjoyable. Some of the power-ups could be more useful and less annoying, but most are okay. There are ads, but they're not too bothersome. Honestly, I don't have any other complaints. I've never come across any bugs or glitches, except for the occasional swarm of glitches chasing you down once in a while

    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2015

    Hear me out: There's nothing particularly wrong with the game. It's cute, it's pretty, and it may supply some people with a bit of nostalgia, but from a pure gameplay perspective, I think it's kinda forgettable fun that runs its course pretty quickly. I hope it doesn't sound too hipster-ish to say that I am biased because I own a Ms Pac Man arcade cabinet. I bring it up because of this: The gameplay in Pac Man (and to an even much greater extent in Ms Pac Man) was frustrating in a very good way. It was frustrating because the game would BEAT YOU. There is a science to it, and in Ms Pac Man, there were hard rules programmed into the behavior of each of the ghosts. --And each one employed a different "strategy." I won't bore you with the details (you can look it up easily enough if you're interested), but suffice it to say that learning the behaviors and being able to predict the moves of the ghosts made playing Ms Pac Man more like "practicing" something than just wasting time. Like learning an instrument, the more you play, the better you get, because you literally actually gain skills. And when it was frustrating, it was frustrating in a "I have to put another quarter in; I KNOW I can do better!" kind of way.
    This game, on the other hand, most definitely doesn't follow the logic or the behaviors of the Ms Pac Man ghosts, and seems to be a mixture of randomness and outright chasing. While that may be what most people think the bahavior of Pac ghosts is supposed to be, trust me, it is not.

    So, when this game is frustrating, it's frustrating in the wrong ways. For me, it always ends with a feeling of, "this is boring and that shouldn't have happened like that." It just doesn't inspire me to come back for more.

    That said, if they worked on the ghost behaviors a little, this game could be great.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dieses Spiel ist genial
    Reviewed in Germany on October 30, 2023

    Ich muss gestehen, ich bin ein echter Pac-Man Junkie. Seit den 80ern liebe ich Space Invaders und Pac-Man sowie deren moderne Clone.
    Dieses Spiel wird jeden passionierten Pac-Man Spieler in neue Dimensionen heben.
    Neu ist, dass jedes Labyrinth augenscheinlich neu aufgebaut ist. Erst bei längerem Spielen wird man Wiederholungen erkennen. Es ist auch nicht so, dass man einen Level komplett abräumen muss, um den nächsten zu erreichen. Es gibt quasi nur einen Level, und dieser ist endlos und scrollt von oben nach unten.
    Es gibt viele neue Boni, die man erst freispielen muss. Diese können dann durch die eingesammelten Credits aufgerüstete werden. Selbst wenn man alle Boni voll ausgerüstet hat, wird das Spiel nicht langweilig. Es werden immer neue Aufgaben gestellt, die man erfüllen muss. Dies hält den Spielspaß und die Motivation aufrecht.
    Ich spiele dieses Game in einer gekauften Version auf der Playstation und in der kostenlosen Version auf dem Fire TV.
    In letzterer bekommt man öfter angeboten, Credits zu kaufen. Dies ist nicht notwendig. Ich habe nicht einen Cent ausgegeben und inzwischen alle Boni aufgerüstet und noch weit über 100.000 Credits auf der hohen Kante.
    Jeder der mit Pac-Man etwas anfangen kann, sollte sich dieses Spiel mal anschauen.
