How to Play
There are four control types in the game: D-PAD, Directional Buttons, Thumb Swipe and Point-Finger Swipe. Unlike traditional PAC-MAN, the maze is divided into left and right sides. Control PAC-MAN, avoiding the ghosts while eating all the pac-dots. Upon eating all the pac-dots on one side of the maze, a fruit will appear on the other. Eat the fruit, and the cleared maze side will transform into a maze of new shape. Play continues in this manner.
