PacMan is perhaps the most loved arcade game of all time that has turned 35 this year. The company that created PAcMan, Bandai Namco, celebrated the occasion with a new version of Pac Man that is having great success in the application stores for Android smartphones and for iPhones, so much to amaze the same developers who did not think PacMan could still be so appreciated.
Pac-Man 256 is in fact the classic game, with a single peculiarity, the scoreboard never ends .
Basically Pacman is played by moving along an infinite maze, eating the balls and being careful not to end up in the mouth of one of the many little ghosts that run along the map.
The game name comes from the failed level 256 of the original game which showed confused characters from one side of the screen becoming impossible to complete.
Pac-Man 256 can be downloaded free for Android and iPhone from their respective stores.
The game is based on the highest score, being impossible to complete a picture, you can only try to beat the personal best every time.
The score can also be compared to that of other people by connecting to the Google Play games store.
In addition to the score, the fruits eaten during the games, the ghosts eaten and the coins collected are also counted.
Coins allow you to purchase upgrades and continue games after you die.
These coins can also be purchased with in-app purchases.
Fruit, on the other hand, is a score multiplier, essential for breaking the record at every game.
During the games you can also find bonuses and power-ups like the laser to effortlessly annihilate the various ghosts that meet along the way.
To earn powerups or other bonuses for free it is required to watch an advertising video, a small price to pay to have some advantage to use in the games.
Ghosts behave differently depending on their color.
For example, the red ghost (Blinky) is slower, but chases Pac-Man when he gets too close while the pink ghost, Pinky, is very fast.
Pacman 256's graphics are that of the original game, with a three-quarter view from the top and a retro 80s design.
To play just wipe your finger on the screen in the direction you want Pac-Man to go.
Pac-Man 256 is a game that I recommend everyone to play on smartphones, fun, smart, addictive, maddening, exciting and never tired, with infinite games and always different mazes.
