Take on the world in this eye-popping PAC-MAN game! Enjoy the instant fun of arcade retro-gaming with a thrilling multiplayer twist. Join the 4-player Battle Arena mode and face rival players from around the world. Use power-ups and master the mazes to be the last PAC-MAN standing! You can also play matches with friends online or share the screen by connecting to 4 controllers on a single Apple device. Eat PAC-DOTS to gain speed and catch the Power Pellet first, and see your friends and the ghosts running away from the random Power-Up you got, from the classic Energizer, the L.A.S.E.R., the Electric Field or to trigger an Airstrike ! Be careful, the more PAC-MAN you eat, the more Ghosts there will be, and they will try to get revenge on those who ate them! Also beware of Itchy, a new Ghost poisoning you on touch with a random negative effect. Players who became ghost can come back as PAC-MAN if they manage to eat another PAC-MAN: don't give up on victory and get back in the fight! But beware the 256-glitch ! If there is no winner soon enough, the maze will start to collapse on you and the safe area will shrink until there is only one PAC-MAN left ! Stay tuned, for more game modes and mazes will be released over time, after the game release: the fun never stops with PAC-MAN PARTY ROYALE! - SUPPORT: Having problems?

"Freezes Time When You Stop Moving" You can control the speed of time with only one finger! Move slowly, and time slows down. Move quickly, and it speeds up. But the looming darkness behind you never stops. You must keep going — sometimes with calm precision, sometimes with bold aggression. Time Locker is a minimalist shooter. Many foes will attack you, including animals, mammoths, soldiers, and even a giant T-Rex. But you have one great advantage. Control the speed of time and enhance your character and equipment without limit to get a high score. [ Features of the Apple Arcade Version ] - Special characters only available in the Arcade version - New enemies will appear - Some weapons have been enhanced - Redesigned game difficulty
