PURCHASES
PAC-MAN is sought out by PAL to help him. The ghosts stole PAL’s powers, which are used to help the inhabitants of the land of PAC-MAN throughout their day. In this game, PAC-MAN, PAL, and YOU join forces to go through wondrous mazes to find its abilities. Can you find all of them?
PAL is the PAC-Assistant and Liaison. He lives in smart speakers in the land of PAC-MAN, helping its denizens in their day to day, just like Alexa does for you! Unfortunately, his capabilities are very coveted, and the Ghosts stole his Powers! Can you join forces and help PAL out?
You play the game with just your voice! Say "waka" to go right, "waki" to go left, "wiki" to go up, and "wika" to go down. Each word means moving one tile, and you can use up to six moves in one turn.
Wakanese still difficult? You can use “right”, “left”, “up” and “down” as well. But there’s a special achievement if you manage to use only PAC-MAN’s native language, give it your best shot!
Wakanese is PAC-MAN’s Native language! You can tell PAC-MAN to go right, left, up and down by saying “waka”, “waki”, “wiki” and “wika” respectively. You can ask PAL to “turn on direction hints” and it’ll put the guide up on the screen for you.
Dash is a faster move that helps you gain some ground on the ghosts. PAC-MAN does one dash first when you say 3 or 4 moves in one turn.
If you tell PAC-MAN 5 or 6 moves at once, his first two movements will be dashes.
Congrats, you found a breakable wall! Try dashing through it: say 3 or 4 moves in a row for PAC-MAN to dash once, 5 or 6 to dash twice.
Strategic mode allows you to have all the time you need to plan your next move or remember how to say up, down, left, and right in Wakanese.
Just say “wait” to enter Strategic Mode.
Uh-oh! Sounds like you’re in trouble. Maybe you need to go through the maze faster?
