Bandai Namco Games America Inc. put out a gameplay feast today with the launch of Pac-Man Friends, an original arcade-style action-puzzler starring gaming’s most historic characters. This new experience, featuring an engrossingly challenging campaign, new characters with dynamic abilities and a buffet of control mechanics from which to choose, is available to download now on iOS and Android devices.

The mazes of Pac-Man Friends require sharp wit and fast reflexes to survive. As Pac-Man chomps his way through 95 levels across seven different worlds, he’ll have to rescue his eight allies and put their unique powers to use to escape the haunted corridors of Ghosts’ Castle. Running into obstacles like Blinky or his ghastly underlings – Pinky, Inky and Clyde – will cost Pac-Man a life, but diverse power boosts and the special skills of his buddies will help Pac-Man turn the tide from prey to predator.

Pac-Man Friends is bursting with retro-inspired artwork and design, harnessing the feel of classic Pac-Man titles balanced with vibrant colors, animations and Retina display support for a crisp, clean look. Daily rewards and the freedom to challenge friends for high score supremacy keep the adventure fresh and exciting long after the Ghosts have been exorcised.

Pac-Man Friends will be available for $4.99 globally in the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPad Touch or at http://www.AppStore.com. Pac-Man Friends will be available globally as a free to play app, in the Google Play store.
