PAC-MAN 256 combines the timeless gameplay of Pac-Man with an endless runner

Pac-Man is the kind of game that defines a generation, and yet 35 years after its first launch, it’s still chomping away. From the combined efforts of Bandai Namco Studios Vancouver and Hipster Whale, the outfit behind Crossy Road, comes a new Pac-Man game: PAC-MAN 256. While it does feature the age-old Pac-Man gameplay of running through a maze to get away from the ghosts, PAC-MAN 256 throws in the added danger of an endless runner. Check out the launch trailer to see how this all works:

Pac-Man has actually seen some great remakes and takes on its iconic gameplay, and PAC-MAN 256 looks like another appropriate use of the franchise while adding something a little modern as well. And for those Pac-Man fans who are wondering – yes, PAC-MAN 256 is named for the glitch in the original Pac-Man game when you reached level 256. If PAC-MAN 256 sounds like the kind of game you want to try, it’s free to download on the Play Store now – links are below – and there’s also an option to pay full price to remove free-to-play parts of the game.
