Play Pac-Panic (Japan) Online
Slide tiles to match symbols while ghosts mess up your rhythm—it’s Pac-Man turned into a frantic puzzle game where speed kills.
Namco released Pac-Panic for the Game Boy in 1996, a time when puzzle games were thriving on handhelds. It stands out as a clever twist on the Pac-Man formula, trading mazes for tile matching under pressure.
You control Pac-Man, sliding rows or columns of tiles to match three or more identical symbols and clear them from the board. The main goal is to complete each screen before a timer runs out or ghosts overwhelm you. Two key mechanics define the experience: ghosts gradually fill the board from below, adding urgency, and special tiles like fruits or power pellets offer strategic advantages. The pacing is relentless, demanding quick decisions as mistakes pile up fast. It feels like a race against chaos, where every move counts.
