Pac-Man 256 is a 2015 endless runner video game developed by Hipster Whale, 3 Sprockets and Bandai Namco Studios Vancouver, and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is part of the Pac-Man series and is inspired by the original Pac-Man game's infamous Level 256 glitch, as well as Hipster Whale's own game Crossy Road, which previously featured a Pac-Man mode.

    To date, 2015's Pac-Man 256 is the only mobile game in the franchise to be ported to home consoles Released on PS4 and Xbox One for $4.99 USD (and more recently made available via Pac-Man Museum+), Pac-Man 256 removes the in-app purchases of the mobile version and dons four-player co-op multiplayer

    My heart is with Bethesda, obviously, but there have been some amazing smaller games with remakes that added content and expanded the story organically. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Atari games like Breakout Recharged PAC-MAN 256

    It's 2:25 AM and I have come to terms with the fact that the Pac-Man 256 mobile game is actually a great roguelike stealth game

    Underrated game: PAC-MAN 256, for example. It's like the iconic arcade game, but with some extra dynamics and the glitch from the 256th level of the original game makes the game more exciting since you have to gather as many dots as possible and avoid being defeated by both the monsters and glitch.

    6/3 - SAO Ordinal Scale Pretty good. Not as good as the GGO arc, but still enjoyable. Animation was good, the fight scenes were nice to look at. I wish I could win free cake by being good at Pac-Man 256. Also having PVP in an IRL AR game sounds like a terrible idea

    - and only a couple hours in but it continues to be cool. Just faced a boss that seems impossible at this point, but I we'll see lol. Replayed Limbo on a whim - still such a gem of a game. Started Pac-Man 256 which has been a great time sink, love how arcade-y it is. Been watching more movies -

    I personally don't like Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 (which is actually the third game) or Pac-Man 256, but I know a lot of people do like these games, so maybe you will like them too? 256 is included in Museum+ anyway A game I like that a lot of other people don't is Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures

    Pac-Pix is WEIRD but fun. Pac 'n Roll is Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble, but with Pac-Man. Pac-Man 256 is also WEIRD but fun. Pac-in-Time is... okay, but was better as the original game Fury of the Furries (yes it's a thing). Pac-Man 99 was awesome until they KILLED IT.

    Any gaming plans this weekend? Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Finished Act 2!! They could have easily ended there and it would have been a great game. Looking forward to see what Act 3 has. Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms Pac-Man 256 #WeekendGaming

    Over on Apple Arcade, a second exclusive Pac-Man game materialized in the form of Pac-Man 256+, an upgraded take on Hipster Whale's modern classic.

    Pac-Man 256 A really really fun and addicting remix of the Pac-Man formula. Big fan of how much stuff in this game just feels fresh. Probably my favorite Pac-Man title I've played so far, and there's a good selection of skins too.

    Backlog Day: PAC-MAN 256 If you know pac-man, then this is that game with an infinitely scrolling board rather than a fixed maze. And powerups! And brutal RNG. I had a few runs where I lasted in the low seconds due to ghost placement. Quite fun though! More for a party game, swapping turns.

    A guilty pleasure game? Probably Pac Man 256. I know it’s mobile grind slop, but when I have a minute, it does the job

    As of today, Costume Quest (2010) is the 455th best game of all time according to me, directly below PAC-MAN 256 and directly above Joe Danger. It is part of Tier 19. There are 25 tiers and 596 games in the list #PixelRankings

    Pac-Man 256 is a good example, being the first Pac-Man game after Ghostly Adventures 2 and not particularly sharing any stylistic elements with CE despite also being a retro game. I just think the targets of your ire are quite skewed.

    Pac-Man 256 My opinions on this one have already been fully solidified since I’ve first played on mobile. This is still one of my favorite Pac-Man games and is on of few mobile games I can confidently say is good. Just an endless runner game that’s insanely addicting to play.

    I like the character but I don't like playing Pac-Man the arcade game Pac-Man World and that PSX Ms. Pac-Man game are great though wish we got more variations of maze game type gameplay oh and I don't like Championship Edition shamefully kinda love Pac-Man 256 by the Crossy Roads people......

    The worst thing about Pac-Man 256 is the grind, which isn't fun. The other non-fun thing about the game is the random'ness of the level generation and placement of mobs, as such you can be surrounded without a way out and/or suitable powerup to get out.

  • Cascadia @cascadepersona.bsky.socialBluesky · May 11, 2025

    The problem with Pac-Man is that Pac-Man Championship DX+ is too perfect of a video game to be able to follow-up, so you can only get variations on original Pac-Man like Pac-Man 256.

    I finally reach the end of the Pac-Man Museum+ collection with Pac-Man 256. It's an endless runner remix of the iconic maze game developed by the folks behind the hit mobile game Crossy Road. I've played this one before, so this blog entry is a revisit: themaskoflife.weebly.com/blog/derryck...

    Pac-Man 256. Such an excellent one more go game. You move Pac-Man through an endless maze where ghosts and glitches try to hold your progress. As you continue to finish runs, you unlock crazy power-ups that really alter the way you play. Likely my fav Hipster Whale joint with a great style to boot!
