It's a good idea to grab them as you travel around the maze, as these will attach themselves to one of the normal Ghosts to create a Ghost Train.įrom here, grab your Power Pellet as normal as head for the Ghost Train. Near the centre of the stage you'll spot Sleeping Ghosts, all lined up and ready to be eaten at any time. That's the basics of attacking nailed down, but there are some more advanced tricks that will give you the best chance of winning. Jammer Pac-Man sit inside a maze and cause a player to slow down if they bump into them, so if you can send a good chunk of them to your enemies, they may get caught up and eventually be too slow to avoid being eaten – and wiped out – by a Ghost. Just like in traditional Pac-Man games, eating this turns all Ghosts into Frightened Ghosts, and if go on to eat a Frightened Ghost before the timer runs down, you'll send what's known as a Jammer Pac-Man to other players' mazes. To initiate an attack, you'll need to eat a Power Pellet (one of the big circles found at the edges of your maze). Just like in Tetris 99, the longer you manage to survive, the faster and more dangerous the game gets, and it's your job to damage your opponents and avoid being gobbled up until every other player has been wiped out.

The twist this time is that you're doing this at the same time as 98 other players.

You play as a yellow pizza-shaped blob thing (yes, that's our best Pac-Man description), working your way around a maze eating Pac-Dots, avoiding Ghosts, and simply trying to stay alive. How To Play - Attacking And SurvivingĪt its core, PAC-MAN 99 shares many similarities to the gameplay we've all come to know and love over the years.
