Captures the classic arcade feel of the originalPac-Man.
Difficulty spikes between levels are sometimes drastic.
Limited unlockables and power-ups to keep gameplay fresh.
Umbrella Games
Namco partnered up with Hipster Whale to make an endlessPac-Mangame in the vein ofCrossy Road.
An endlessly-generatedPac-Manmaze is great fun, with the different ghost patterns being difficult to deal with.
And the themes added in later updates are fun to play with, too.
Tyson Ibele
It’s a great one-handed game, and thecontroller support is fantastic to boot.
It’s even fun on Android TV.
No matter what, it was one of the best games of 2015.
SMG Studio

Admittedly, the visuals and interface on this game skew a little too close to the originalCrossy Road.
It makes for a game that’s somehow its own unique thing despite having too-obvious influences.
It’s clear how it became a chart-topping game.

Fun and creative boss battles.
Every character has their own unique level backdrops.
No music, minimal sound effects.
Some items must be repurchased after a set time.

Upbeat soundtrack keeps players motivated.
You may respawn in inconvenient locations after dying.
