Power ups. Jump over walls. Boss battles.... Can we please let Pac Man go already? I feel like we have his rotting corpse on strings, jiggling him into a horrendous mockery of dance for our partial amusement.

Although that would make a wicked awesome Pac Man game, wouldn't it?

"Apple's silly non-disclosure policies" do not apply here, you can announce your game as soon as you come up with an idea in the shower. What you can't talk about is beta versions of the OS or the development tools.

Exactly. You'd think, given some of the other in-development iPhone games Joystiq has covered, they would realize this.

Maybe Jem was thinking about Apple's asinine approval process, but that is a different issue.

or pick up any of the numerous multiplat compilation disks that have multiple pac man games along with other old school classics for slightly more then $6 (less in some cases) and have a hard copy.

Check the source link if you haven't. The game looks far enough removed from the traditional Pac-Man formula to warrant a play/purchase. Don't write this off as just another Pac-Man port like so many poor souls did with Pac-Man CE which is/was $10 US and worth ever cent.

boss battles are new. that's about all i see that's really 'new'. you were able to jump several years ago and power up items, we called those power pellets back in the day.

who am i kidding though, my wife will want and i will say ok and i will get the bill on my credit card.

if it's worth it to you, then great.

of course i'm of the persauasion that pac man should be standard issue gear for every human on earth, on watches, calculators, id cards..ect.... :)

"The game looks far enough removed from the traditional Pac-Man formula to warrant a play/purchase."

Really? This game looks and sounds somewhat similar to the game Pac-Mania from 22 years ago. The main difference that Pac-Mania's board was tilted 45 degrees to the right.

Someone got Super Bomberman in my Pac-Man!

Game actually looks pretty good, might just be worth that $5.99.

Oh good god, I'm suddenly TERRIFIED of Pacman. I'm supporting the ghosts from now on.

"...just in case there are any die hard Pac-Man fans in the Joystiq audience."

All seventeen of us are very happy you shared.
