What? You want a story? It’s PAC-MAN! Eat all the dots in the maze to move to the next stage while avoiding four ghosts. Eat Power Pellets to temporarily turn the ghosts blue and soften them up for snack time. Swallow them to send their eyes scurrying back to their base. Use their recovery time to snag all the dots in every corner of the maze. Eat the fruits and bonus items that appear for additional points and see how high you can score.

Will PAC-MAN ever have his fill of delicious dots? What exactly is a Power Pellet and why does it turn the ghosts blue? Is PAC-MAN trapped in a maze full of monsters, or is he the Minotaur to the ghosts’ Theseus? It doesn’t matter. Leave the speculation at the door, grab your Android device, and get to gobbling.

After all, who can forget the countless hours and quarters spent avoiding pesky ghosts, devouring delicious dots, and snacking on sweet fruit? Now PAC-MAN, the world-famous arcade classic, returns in this faithful rendition for Android–with the same spectral chases, quick decisions, and insatiably hungry yellow hero you know and love.
