Pac-Man 256 puts players in control of Pac-Man as he continues across an endless maze, collecting dots and power-ups while avoiding enemy ghosts. The game ends if Pac-Man comes into contact with a ghost or falls behind and is consumed by a chasing glitch at the bottom of the maze. By eating enough dots in a row, players will be awarded with a blast that clears all on-screen enemies. Along with power pellets, which enable Pac-Man to eat ghosts, Pac-Man can equip and obtain various power-ups such as lasers, tornadoes, and clones to attack the ghosts, as well as collect score-multiplying fruit. Additional power-ups are unlocked by collecting enough dots. Clearing certain missions unlock coins, also obtained either on the maze or by viewing sponsored videos, which can be used to upgrade power-ups.
We think this game is just as addictive as the original and looks fantastic on a large screen or played with friends – at the same time (yes 2p/3p/4p mode exists!!) – someone has kindly shared a download of the game (obviously if you like it we urge you to buy it!) as well as a theme created for Hyperspin.
