  • Top game

    Have been looking for an old school game and glad to see Pac-Man still doing its thing!
  • Fun but not flawless

    It is a fun game, but it is not near as hard as the original. You move at about a third of the speed you would be moving at an arcade machine, therefore making the game kind of easy. I hope you can add a mode where you move at the original speed, because I love PAC-MAN and I would really like to have a more authentic gameplay. There is another bug on the IPod Touch where the joystick glitches out and leads you in random directions. The ghosts also can sometimes, but rarely, go through walls. I was trying to get to a power pellet, like most usually do, when a ghost pulled a very “Interesting” move. That was on the first level. Unacceptable. It is still fun and I love it though.

  • Restore purchases

    It it a great arcade remake, I had purchased quite a few mazes before. Since the update I lost them and the restore purchases is not working.
  • Do Not Like Game After New Update

    I have been a big fan of pac man, since forever. My son got me hooked on this game. I used to take him to the arcades & we played till it closed. We always went home broke. I have a lot of health issues & stay home, very boring. My son added this game for me & I loved playing it. But after this new update about 1 month or so ago, it’s terrible !!!! Now they don’t give you any chance of extra plays like the other one. Some friends & I feel like this updated system is forcing you to buy if you want to continue playing. That’s Very Sad, because I know myself & others do not have money for that. But I do want to say ; “Thank You So Very Much” for letting me enjoy a little bit of time playing before the new update.....

  • Great game!

    I love this game. I love the fact that it never gets boring like traditional pac man can because there are constant challenges and new levels to play all the time. My only complaint is that it takes quite a while before you have enough coins to buy a new difficult level. One suggestion also is to be able to “skip” a challenge for a time/coin fee. I currently have a quest to earn 100,000 points in one game and Im no where near getting that.

    Also, if anyone can provide me with some info on how the “Don’t Eat Ghosts” challenges work, that would be great. I’ve got a quest to beat level 5 in the I Know maze without eating ghosts and I have several times without the quest being checked off. I can’t figure out if you need to not eat ghosts through the whole game (which is nearly impossible) or maybe do you need to beat the whole maze and not eat the ghosts on that level. Either way, I can’t get rid of it. Help would be appreciated 😊

  • FULL OF STUPIDITY AND CORRUPT ERRORS

    First of all, the in app purchase of full mazes in the Lite version does not in turn register on other devices where they want you to pay the same $4.99 again!
    Secondly, their design of the joystick is so pathetic and inauthentic, monkeys could have done better with no effort. Idiots, a joystick should always spring back to neutral (as with the original arcade game and all such)! Also it should be simple and an exact replication of the original without all the gaudy GOOFY romper room red arrows and such which NOBODY is looking at anyway as the game is played! If you are going to offer an authentic simulation of the original classic then GO ALL THE WAY MORONS! Don't screw it up on the joystick! You can add whatever newer innovations you want as OPTIONS!
    You stupid monkeys got it right on your Galaxian 30th, so why screw up here with the most popular arcade hit of all time?! Sloppy no taste Morons!

  • Tokens

    I just downloaded this game two days ago and already see that the tokens are going to be an issue. It stops you from advancing even in the game itself. Once you stop the game, it gives you a time limit to earn one token at a time completing tasks before you can unlock the next level which is frustrating when you have an allotted amount of time to play. (Like during your lunch or a break in the day). Especially because you can’t complete these tasks until time has elapsed. For example you cannot complete task #1 until 15 hours has passed. Or you cannot try this task again for another two hours. So frustrating will probably have to delete this game because I cannot play it out will. #Sad

  • “Give me more money for my 40 year old game you already bought from me”

    Paid $4.99 each for iPhone and iPad versions of PAC-MAN Premium. Now they don’t work because PAC-MAN “needs to update his mazes”. It’s been the same maze since 1980, buddy. This new version promises I will continue to enjoy the “same PAC-MAN Premium experience” but now with ads, apparently.

    “Why did Pac-Man Premium close and why?
    The reason the game closed is because we wanted to create a better and more engaging experience for all our PAC-MANiacs, as such, we decided it was time to focus our efforts on a single, unified PAC-MAN version.

    This was not an easy decision, but with your continued support, we hope to build the best PAC-MAN game.

    As you might expect, these new and exciting plans came with a downside and unfortunately, the PAC-MAN Premium version was removed from the Apple App Store on January 15th, 2018.

    On the same date, January 15th, the game servers were shut down. After this date, players only had access to limited features that were available for offline play.

    We strongly recommend (if you haven't done so already) that you transfer your Premium account to the other PAC-MAN version, which can be downloaded for free here: Download PAC-MAN, as soon as possible.

    As a Premium user, you will continue to enjoy the same PAC-MAN Premium experience once you transfer your account to the unified, free version of PAC-MAN.”

  • Eat me

    What a great game! I remember as a kid playing it on the little knob box! Now I got it at me finger tips on the phone! Love all the mazes to! Couldn't get any better! Thanks
  • Very poor control of movement

    The game and the boards themselves are great, but unfortunately, it’s impossible to simulate proper arcade joystick control of PAC-MAN by using swipe screen or button control. If you’re an expert Pac-Man player, you need to be able to move Pac-Man quickly and accurately. Without a manual joystick, on the harder levels, where you must move quickly, it becomes impossible to do that. In other words, when you swipe left, sometimes Pac-Man moves down or in another direction instead, and then you die. This happens every time the game doesn’t record your intended move correctly.... which for me is SEVERAL Times EVERY game. And swiping to make quick turns just does not work with the high degree of accuracy that you need to clear the expert (Elite) levels. If you try switching to button control, it’s not much better. Nothing can simulate a manual joystick.
