Lucky for you, unlike a traditional Pac-Man game, this iteration endlessly scrolls upward: So you can escape the glitch as long as you can keep a forward bit-munching momentum.
Dawdle too long at the bottom of your screen, and those colorfully-bizarre numbers will swallow your Pac-Man whole, ending the game. In good fun, Bandai Namco has brought this conceit back for Pac-Man 256-but instead of an outright crash, the "glitch" has been retooled as a time-eating monster. The title-and those ominous munching numbers at the bottom of the screen-are nods to an infamous glitch in the 256th level of Pac-Man, wherein a coding error caused the entire screen to slowly fill up with nonsense characters and crash the game. Players can still watch ads to earn credits, too.But there are a few quirks that separate it from your average Pac-Man experience. While only a minority of players will likely buy either of the permanent upgrades, Hall says the ability to unlock the game was aimed at the kind of old-school gamer who remembers Pac-Man from back in the day, "people who have played games their entire lives and have been a bit hostile to the change ". You can wait for the refill, or alternatively you can pay $1.18 for a temporary boost of 12 credits or $9.58 for unlimited credits, effectively purchasing the game outright. When you're out of credits you can keep playing for free, although you won't get to use any of your earned power-ups. Meanwhile, the player also has a maximum of six "credits" that refill automatically over time and must be spent each time you start Pac-Man off on his journey. Collecting coins on the maze lets you purchase various power-ups, and for $5.95 in real money you can permanently double the worth of the coins, allowing you to progress faster.
