Paku Paku

About

Paku Paku is a free arcade game that shrinks Pac-Man’s maze into a single line of 16 points. You control a six-pixel character, moving left or right to gobble up dots while dodging a red ghost that zips faster than you can move. The simplicity is deceptive, each run demands timing and reflexes, as the ghost’s speed makes mistakes costly. Released January 5, 2024, it plays on PS4, PS5, and web browsers. The game’s stripped-down design focuses on pure action, with no power-ups or complex mechanics. While there's no community data yet, its short learning curve and replayability could appeal to quick thinkers. Kenta Cho’s background in experimental games shows, with Paku Paku offering a bite-sized but addictive twist on a classic formula.
