Providing the impetus to move forward is a glitch that's based on the original Pac-Man's infamous kill screen, a game-ending bug that occurs on level 256 when the game tries to roll over to zero. It was a simple stroke of genius that created a whole new way to play Pac-Man, while still being faithful to the 36-year-old Golden Age coin-op's gameplay.īasically, Pac-Man 256 takes the original game's top-down viewpoint, gives it an isometric spin to the right, and replaces the screen-sized maze with one that's procedurally generated and scrolls perpetually upwards. Created by Hipster Whale, with help from 3 Sprockets, the free-to-play game iterated on the classic Pac-Man formula of eating pellets, and turned it into an endless runner variant. Pac-Man 256 was a big hit on mobile phones last summer.
