Along with power pellets, which enable Pac-Man to eat ghosts, Pac-Man can equip and obtain various power-ups such as lasers, tornadoes, and clones to attack the ghosts, as well as collect score-multiplying fruit. Eating 256 dots in a row awards the player a blast that clears all on-screen enemies. The game ends if Pac-Man comes into contact with a ghost or falls behind and is consumed by a chasing glitch at the bottom of the maze. Pac-Man 256 sees the players take control of Pac-Man as he continues across an endless maze, collecting dots and power-ups while avoiding enemy ghosts.

#PAC MAN 256 SERIES#
The game is part of the Pac-Man series and is inspired by the original Pac-Man game's infamous Level 256 glitch. Pac-Man 256 is an endless running video game developed by Hipster Whale and 3 Sprockets and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One It’s playable on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, macOS, Linux, Android TV If you wish to grab a download of PAC-MAN 256 head over to the Xbox Store. But how about you? Did you play it back in the day, or do you fancy playing it now after reading my words? Let us know in the comments! It’s a PAC experience which didn’t just bring fun in the single player, but really came alive in multiplayer. These then are my memories of playing PAC-MAN 256 back in 2016 and onwards. Special power pills appear to allow you the chance to revive your fellow players, and seeing him frantically trying to reach the revive pill while dodging the glitch and all the pursuing ghosts is part of what made this game special. So, as he was being a chicken, zooming about the map, eating dots and ghosts, inevitably one of us would make a mistake and wind up dead. It was this that allowed for some fond gaming memories too as I spent a great deal of time playing 256 with my son – I honestly think that playing games like this with him, where the fun isn’t tied to the latest whizz bang graphics, is part of why he plays all sorts of games today. Fancy being a robot, or one of the chickens from Crossy Road? Well, now you can! I’m not angry, just disappointed.Īnother fun part is the chance for up to four players to play together on the same screen something made all the more fun by the introduction of some silly characters. This achievement glitched for me, sadly, and is the only one in the game I didn’t get. This kind of RPG-lite addition made PAC-MAN 256 much longer lasting, for me at least, especially as there was an achievement for upgrading all the power-ups to max level.
#PAC MAN 256 UPGRADE#
As you play through the game and amass points, these points can be used to upgrade the power-ups, making them hit harder and last longer.
Yes, this time around, in addition to the standard power pills that allow PAC-MAN to eat the dots, there are others such as lasers that bounce around corners and kill anything they hit, tornadoes that can be set loose, clones that can attack your enemies and more.
The power-ups also received an overhaul, with the addition of new types that can be upgraded. Keeping moving, climbing the screen, is very important. As you get higher up the vertically scrolling screen, the bottom of the level begins to be consumed by a glitch, and if the glitched section of the screen catches up to PAC-MAN, it’s instant death. The big change to the gameplay in 256 involves the game starting to glitch out as you progress through the levels. Oh yes, it’s not quite as easy as wandering about the maze – there are ghosts, PAC’s traditional enemy, that will try and stop you. Eating the dots starts a counter going, and if you manage to eat 256 dots in a row, you can unleash an attack that will clear all the enemies on the screen, for a while at least.
#PAC MAN 256 FULL#
You, as PAC-MAN, are in an endless maze, and this maze is full of dots. Now, as you’d expect, the gameplay on offer here, at least in the single player mode, is really not massively different from the standard PAC-MAN games we all know and love. Anyway, PAC 256 first appeared as a free-to-play game on mobile platforms in 2015, before being released for the PlayStation and Xbox in 2016, along with PC and Mac versions being available. That must have been somewhat annoying the first time anyone saw it. The game was apparently inspired by the infamous level 256 glitch in the original arcade game, where if a player was skilful enough to reach level 256, then an integer overflow error occurred and the game glitched out. This entry in the PAC-MAN franchise was developed by two studios – 3 Sprockets and Hipster Whale – and yes, you probably now have an image of a whale with a moustache and topknot in your head.
