Pac-Man 256

A Puzzle game by Hipster Whale, released in 2015

75/100🔴Niche / Inactive🏆Proton PlatinumPlayStation 4LinuxAndroid

Pac-Man 256 is a 2015 Android and iOS video game in the Pac-Man series. It is inspired by the glitched 256th level of Pac-Man. In the game, the player must continuously navigate an endless maze while avoiding ghosts and using power-ups and power pellets to combat them. Fruits grant a temporary multiplier, and as Pac-Man eats dots, it is up to the player to try to top their high score. This game was co-developed by Hipster Whale, the creators of the hit Crossy Road video game, also on Android & iOS and 3 Sprockets, the creators of the Cubemen series on Android & iOS.
