Pac-Man 256

About

Pac-Man 256 turns the classic formula into an endless challenge. You guide Pac-Man through a never-ending maze filled with ghosts, power pellets, and fruit. Each level increases the stakes as you dodge enemies, eat dots for points, and use power-ups to reverse the tide. Fruits add temporary score multipliers but require timing to collect. The goal is simple: survive as long as possible and beat your own high score. The game leans into the infamous level 256 glitch from the original Pac-Man, turning it into a core mechanic. Developed by Hipster Whale (Crossy Road) and 3 Sprockets (Cubemen), it blends familiar retro vibes with modern mobile gameplay. Available on phones, consoles, and PCs since 2015, it’s a free-to-play test of reflexes that fans and newcomers have flocked to. The endless format and escalating difficulty make it a surprisingly addictive throwback.
