The game is not just your typical ‘Pacman’ running around eating dots and power-ups, the game was mainly inspired in the infamous glitch in the Pacman level 256 game series, where pacman will be chased by the glitch. The game is also graphically designed in a 2.5 dimension, almost 3D but not, so players will experience playing the game in a different atmosphere.

As I just said before that the game is inspired by the infamous level 256 glitch well here, pacman will also be needs to run fast and smart, not to be trapped in the maze because being left behind means game over for the glitch will come and catch pacman.
