Needs more content.

This game is phenomenal. The visuals and controls are great. The only problem is the fact that there’s nothing to do. You can only play Party Mode with your friends that have Apple Arcade and are nearby. There’s a Quick Play mode that pitches you up against AI, but it’s not rewarding in the slightest. There are no collectibles or costumes of sorts. I feel like this game needs more single player content, unlockables, and please, random online multiplayer! It’s not common for someone to have multiple friends paying for Apple Arcade that are close by. Let us join parties from around the world. I have nothing to do in the game, aside from repeatedly playing Quick Play for nothing. Maybe there could be a trophy system? Gain trophies for online wins and go up the ladder? Player levels that could be raised from winning online? This game has an immense amount of potential. I hope we can see more reasons to hop back into the game in the near future!

Disappointed

I was really looking forward to playing this game but I opened it and it is having very slow response times and loading times it won’t take me to the game... this is quite upsetting...

It’s ok

Could have spent more time on game play, gets boring pretty quickly.

Nope

The mechanics don’t make sense. Pretty disappointing.

This game has bad controls and is rigged!

Hi guys!

So basically I had seen the video for this game and thought it looked amazing! So after I downloaded it I straight away played it. The controls hardly work.
It’s impossible to turn and or move your pac man!
So I can’t win! And it seems like it’s not just me! So please guys out there who made the game! Is it a bug I can fix? Or is it just a problem??

Also to me, the game seems rigged so players can’t win. When you are a ghost 👻 and need to eat a pack man to get back in the game they all seem to be faster and quicker! The same said when ghosts are chasing you! They are a lot faster! Also when you try to get the candies 🍬 they LITERALLY move away from you??

I just feel like this defeats the point of the game 😢

The truth kid xx

Local multiplayer

Ok loving the opportunity to get back to playing Pac-man again.. very addictive and plays nice on Apple tv......
However it would be great if friends were around one evening to pass them a spare controller to play on the television.
This would open up the games to competitive “round the TV” fun instead of being huddled around the i phone....
Otherwise superb game!!!🕹🕹🕹

Controls are a bit rubbish

Great concept and graphics but it needs controller support and I found the touchscreen controls to be really crappy. Needs to be fine tuned for such a frantic game they need to be sharp.

Promising game .

This could for sure be an Online hit and looks amazing. A splash of advertising on social media and a decent online and boom this is gonna be huge. Also some random suggestions that would be amazing
- Ability to give Pac-Man cosmetics that could even be monetised or you could watch ads and get them. These would include Hats , Gloves , Shoes and Colours and maybe even Trails.
- A ranked mode where players can advance through leagues.
- Quick Play for random matches
- And maybe some different part mini games modes with a Pac-Man spin

Anyways best of luck and don’t forget this game could be the next big thing <3

Really fun game. Needs online though.

I love playing bots in most online enabled games before I jump into the fray and play people who most likely will destroy me but it’s still a good laugh. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t find the online menu other then some friend code kinda thing and I don’t have any friends..I have a hot wife but no friends..go figure. This game starts out slow but once the glitch kicks in and the speed is cranked up..that’s where this game shines. I wish there was a way for the gameplay to start up in a faster mode because it feels sluggish after playing in the cranked up glitch part. But other then that..great game. Quick bursts of fun.

Potentially fun, but needs work

This game runs on a solid concept for a quick-play, multiplayer Pac-man, and is already helped a lot by a cute art-style and appropriately energetic music. But there are two major problems holding this game back from being a fun as it could be.

The first and most obvious problem is the lack of matchmaking. An app that bets its value on multiplayer loses a lot of that value when it relies on you to have three friends that have (1) an iOS device, (2) an Apple Arcade subscription, (3) the game and (4) an availability and desire to play with you. I understand the goal is to add a matchmaking feature, but we don’t know when.

The second major problem: the controls are not responsive enough. When compared to the other popular Pac-Man game on this App Store, 256, it’s particularly noticeable that Pac-Man doesn’t change directions as fast as you may want him too. This may be deliberate (each match starts at a slow pace before speeding up), but the delay between swipe and movement kinda makes the game feel like it’s fighting against you on a functional level.

This game has the potential to be a fun staple in Arcade’s lineup, so here’s hoping future updates will get it there. For now, though, Pac-Man fans may want to get their fix elsewhere.
