  • Objectives still bugged and blocking off rewards

    Specifically, the Grey Admirer and Green Fan objectives in the section leading to the Piñata Reward. No matter what map or for how long I stay near the ghosts, no progress increments. I know how close I need to be because similar objectives have completed without issue. I’m bumping the review up to 3 stars due to the daily objectives being fixed, but since I’m completely blocked from obtaining Piñata and progressing that branch, I’m keeping the rating as is for now. EDIT: And now the Purple Supporter objective is entirely blocking off the Magnet reward path. Done with this game until these are fixed.

  • Stay close to ghosts 40 seconds/ impossible objectives.

    The objectives of staying close to any colored ghosts for 40 seconds are not updating and showing zero progress while working on them. Glitch wall is totally maxed out but it’s impossible to stay close to a ghost that moves horizontally for 40 seconds, the glitch wall just doesn’t allow it. Love the game but in order to get/unlock certain things these objectives stand in the way and are seemingly impossible to achieve. Extremely frustrating.

  • Recent Bugs are a Bummer

    This is a great game where you play Pac-Man in a new way. The powerups are fun. Love the responsive developers 😊

  • Improved, but noticed a new glaring issue

    First off, I want to give props to the devs for addressing the bugs from the first release; already, the game feels 100% better. That said, I have noticed a new bug crop up: the “stay close to X ghosts/the glitch wall for Y seconds” goals are now completely broken. Even if I grab a Sonar power-up and literally sit INSIDE the ghosts, it doesn’t count a single second of the goal. Given that a couple of power-ups and upgrades are locked behind this type of goal, you can see where this is a major issue.

  • Can’t complete objectives

    The update fixed the daily challenges issue but I still can’t complete the challenges that want the player to stay close to certain colored ghosts. It’s very frustrating because it’s preventing me from being able to unlock some power ups and upgrades. It would be a very fun game otherwise.

  • Fun but buggy

    The game is fun but right out of the gate has some annoying bugs. Just yesterday they fixed the bug where “daily quests” never reset. But I still can’t see any fixes for quests where you’re supposed toto “stay close” to a certain color of ghost. At this point I see no indication that I’m doing anything to move that indicator. The controls are also not great and seem, to me, worse since the patch yesterday. Finally, the patch notes are not helpful. Generically saying that there were bug fixes doesn’t help us to understand what was fixed.

  • Was better before they broke the controls

    It’s Pac-Man 256, but with all the IAP stripped out. Update: they fixed the broken dailies but appear to have tweaked the controls; now my up swipes turn me right with annoying regularity, which is just awful. Whatever they did they need to revert it, the game is basically unplayable now as I consistently turn right or straight up go backwards if I was traveling left which is, again, just awful in a game where consistent movement is so important. I saw in another review response that the update that fixed the dailies also included ‘improved’ controls, so unfortunately if this doesn’t get fixed I won’t be playing the game any more. It’s pointless when you can get into a good run and then your straight up swipe becomes a right turn into the ghost that’s chasing you instead.

  • So many issues.

    This is fun, but apparently the developers don’t know the definition of the word daily. It took two weeks for them to finally come up with new daily challenges. Also, sometimes in Pac-Mania, Pac-Man does not move forward after going off a jump, and sometimes he does. Turns out it isn’t just an issue with moving forward out of a jump, sometimes he will turn when I tell him to, sometimes he won’t. And the transition when going out the right or left side and appearing on the other side takes too long so I can’t actually see where I need to go. Both these issues can result in getting killed by a ghost or affecting combo count. And the more I play, the worse the swiping controls have become. It doesn’t properly recognize the directions and I die because Pac-Man will go the wrong way. The more I play the more issues arise. I was upgrading my upgrades and one of them had two then reverted back to one when I upgraded another to three.
