SANTA CLARA, Calif., (September 1, 2016) – BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America, Inc., is excited to bring the massively popular PAC-MAN series back to mobile platforms in a new colorful bubble shooter called PAC-MAN Pop. The new free-to-play mobile game combines the pick-up-and-play fun of PAC-MAN with hours of addictive bubble shooting puzzles and challenges. PAC-MAN Pop is available now as a free download from the App Store and Google Play. To celebrate the game’s release, new players who download the game through September 4, 2016 will receive a free bonus coin pack that will enable players to purchase in-game items.
In PAC-MAN Pop, the familiar fiendish ghosts, Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde, have trapped all of the fruit in PAC-LAND and left bubble traps for PAC-MAN’s beloved pets in their wake. It’s up to the player and PAC-MAN to save the day and save the trapped pets by matching bubbles, eating fruit, and using PAC Power Ups across hundreds of challenging bubble puzzle levels. PAC-MAN Pop includes unique gameplay elements like “Pop The Ghost” puzzle levels and new “PAC-ATTACK” mini-games that fans won’t find in any other bubble shooting game.
“The hallmark of a great PAC-MAN game is that it is a fun and delightful experience for fans across the world,” says Makoto Asanuma, Managing Director & Chief PAC-MAN Officer from BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc., “PAC-MAN Pop stays true to that spirit in an all-new game that combines beloved PAC-MAN characters with bubble matching gameplay for the first time. The result is a game that feels both nostalgic and brand new at the same time.”
Celebrating more than 35 years of worldwide popularity, the PAC-MAN series has gobbled up billions of quarters, earning the Guinness World Record as “the most successful coin operated game” ever. On mobile platforms, PAC-MAN games have been downloaded over 150 million times.
