Dec. 2024

One of the very few games I've played on mobile and I liked it there and I liked it here but its pacman as an endless runner high score chase and well.. those old arcade genes still get the job done in spurts.

Nov. 2024

A blast of nostalgia with various customization in terms of map design. 8/10.

June 2024

A pretty neat little twist on the Pac-Man experience. It plays like an endless maze-runner with the addition of permanent new power-up upgrades like a rogue-lite. A lot of what this game provides is kinda neat, but overall it just feels obtusely bloated with unnecessary content like multiple power-ups that basically do the same thing the same way anyway, and its grindy upgrade system that feels solely reminiscent from its phone ports, which is where I previously played it on when it released. Yet, 256 also has some new and overhauled ghost variants that I found quite fun to play around with. I like how vibrant this game is, especially with its fake visual and gameplay glitches which has a significant, interesting impact on gameplay. And I enjoy the side-angle perspective, as it's a cool way of presenting a Pac-Man game board. The game isn't bad -- not by a long shot, I just don't find it as appealing as I do other Pac-Man spin-off games, and I see very little reason to return to the game again. It's still fun for a few short sessions and just to see what it's all about.

My all time favorite go to PAC-MAN game. I always come back to it, especially when I’m frustrated!! with the controls being simple and it’s endless gameplay, it’s perfect! I’m only a few hours in but I’ll eventually 100% one day. It’s an enjoyable game to come back to every now and then. What I will say though is, it’s such a fight for survival 😭. Happy Gaming <3 !

It's fun for what it is, but it tends to be pretty repetitive. The chunks of maze that they string together feel like they show up very often, I think more variety could help. The powerup system could be more interesting, too, perhaps combining powerups or having the upgrades be more interesting than extended time. This game gets a dragon rating of 0/10, for no dragons.
