SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PAC-MAN’s hitting Apple’s App Store but this time he’s equipped with an arsenal of power-up items and sneaky maze traps to aid in his battle against giant ghost-bosses. Namco Networks, a leading publisher and developer of mobile, iPhone and PC games for mass-market casual gamers, today announced the upcoming worldwide availability of PAC-MAN REMIX for $5.99 through Apple’s App Store.
“With tricks and traps, special items and battles against giant ghost-bosses, this isn’t your parents’ PAC-MAN,” said Jonathan Kromrey, general manager for Apple Games for Namco Networks. “Fans of the original are going to enjoy the twist on the arcade action of PAC-MAN REMIX.”
 
In PAC-MAN REMIX, players can acquire power-ups and traps as they play through six stages (with five levels each) to beat six giant ghost-bosses. Power-up items include:
•    Jump – jump over ghosts or walls
•    Dash – move faster
•    Lucky Item – all the pellets turn into Power Pellets
•    Ninja Item – Trick the ghosts with an illusion of PAC-MAN
 
The stage-specific traps give PAC-MAN an extra boost against the ghosts. For example, the dash panel lets PAC-MAN travel faster and run through ghosts while the warp tunnel lets PAC-MAN (and the ghosts) travel to other points in the maze.
 
PAC-MAN REMIX has two control types: Arrow Keys, and Flick. Arrow Keys give players an on-screen control pad while Flick mode allows players to control the action by swiping their finger across the screen. There are three difficulty settings and players can choose the number of lives as well as how often continues are available.
