But aside from that, the modes are pretty good . It’s a shame that the game will be closing March 31, 2025… Keep it open please! 😀 ### 4/5 — Amazing but… *2025-04-10, version 11.5.5* I don’t like the coffee breaks can u please remove them? ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2025-04-09, version 11.5.5* The Pac-Man X Easter is to hard, you can eat pellets easy but after you eat the power pellet and it expires, blinky targets you the rest of the game in his angry mode. Please make easier and I will change review ### 1/5 — “ad free” option is a lie *2025-04-08, version 11.5.5* The ads are truly obnoxious. So I paid the three dollars or whatever. Thought that would stop the ads. And yet the advertisement to continue despite me paying for ad free. I am so done with this game and all other games like it thst extract so much of my time and energy when all I wanted was a few uninterrupted minutes of gameplay. ### 5/5 — Pac-Man *2025-04-07, version 11.5.5* This is the best game from the 80’s and now it’s in our phones ! ### 3/5 — No ads forever… or k ust about 6 weeks *2025-04-07, version 11.5.5* Why even give the option to buy “no ads forever” in a game you clearly keep putting out for money, then wiping off the App Store only to release it again 6 - 12 months later… for more money? ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-06, version 11.5.5* Good ### 4/5 — Completing Achievements 24/25 *2025-04-06, version 11.5.5* There 1 problem when I start classic game from stage 1 it only show strawberry instead of cherry, if you fix it start from stage 1 & see cherry! I need 1 achievements left to complete collect all 8 fruit in 1 game! Because game is ending soon & I don’t want to be late😢 ### 1/5 — ads? *2025-04-05, version 11.5.5* garbage ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pac-Man *2025-04-29, version 11.5.5* I love this game! It is a lot of fun. I’m really sad to see it go though 😭 the only bad thing about this game is that the bug in this game has me crashing out. But, it is still LOADS of fun! I hope there will be more fun with Pac-Man in the future! ### 1/5 — No *2025-04-21, version 11.5.5* Can we make an original Pac-Man game? Like I just want to play pac man ### 1/5 — Sad its leaving *2025-04-15, version 11.5.5* 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 1/5 — PAC-man *2025-04-14, version 11.5.5* Still can’t beat me but it’s still a great game 😘 ### 1/5 — Nothing beats the original *2025-04-14, version 11.5.5* Go back to the original pac man no one asked for this trash update ### 1/5 — Closing? *2025-04-13, version 11.5.5* I’m giving it 1 star because Bandai is pulling the game from the store,for no reason given. ### 1/5 — 90% ads *2025-04-13, version 11.5.5* Did 3 “levels” before having to watch a 90 SECOND ad. Can’t play without internet connection to avoid ads. Forced to play the “story mode” instead of just playing a regular game of pac man ### 1/5 — Not a surprise it is shutting down *2025-04-12, version 11.5.5* Doesn’t appeal to original pac game players, most of the original features of the game are missing in favour of more complex looking mazes but they don’t up the ante of the gameplay. The ads frequency and duration makes the app unplayable. Especially for new users, if I liked the game I still wouldn’t play with all those ads and I haven’t had the chance to get attached to the game enough to want to spend money to remove them. I played three games and 90% of my time in the app was watching ads that weren’t even well targeted. ### 1/5 — Good riddance to bad rubbish *2025-04-10, version 11.5.5* Waaay too many ads, and too lengthy ads. It’s a good thing this is shutting down. ### 1/5 — Noooooo please don’t end PacMan! *2025-04-09, version 11.5.5* I’m giving one star due to the fact it has been announced that “the service is ending in May”. Please say it isn’t so! I had thought is was an April Fool as it was announced on April the 1st when the game updated.☹️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DIS GAME COOLZAAAAAAA *2025-04-21, version 11.5.5* DIS GAME IZ AWZOME ### 5/5 — Great for fans of the games *2025-04-20, version 11.5.5* I’m a 34 year old game reviewer and this is by far one of the best ones.
