Google has unveiled a spooky tribute to Pac-Man's 45th anniversary, celebrating the iconic game just in time for Halloween. The search engine giant has created a special Google Doodle featuring four haunted-house mazes designed by Pac-Man's parent company, Bandai Namco Entertainment.

For today and tomorrow, gamers can indulge in the classic arcade game by navigating Pac-Man through treacherous labyrinths while avoiding the mischievous Ghost Gang. Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde are back to cause chaos, with each ghost exhibiting distinct personalities that will try to outsmart Pac-Man. The mazes have been carefully designed to reflect the ghosts' quirks, making for a challenging yet thrilling experience.

Players can activate special power-ups by grabbing Power Pellets, allowing them to take charge of their own destiny and chase down the ghosts. This twist adds an extra layer of excitement to the game, as players must think strategically about how each ghost will react to their moves.

To play, simply visit the Google homepage on desktop or launch the Google app on your mobile device, regardless of whether you're running Android or iOS. On a PC, gamers can control Pac-Man using their keyboard's arrow keys, while mobile users will need to swipe or press and move their finger to navigate the maze. Whether you're a retro gaming enthusiast or just looking for a fun challenge, this special Google Doodle is an unmissable treat for Halloween.
 
idk why google has to make everything so gimmicky 🤔. a simple doodle isn't enough, they gotta go and create a whole haunted-house maze thingy... it's all just a bit too much 🙄. i mean, can't we just play the original pac-man game for once? it was perfect back in the day, no need to mess with it 🎮. and what's up with these "distinct personalities" of the ghosts? it just sounds like they're trying to cash in on some kind of retro gaming revival vibe 🤑...
 
Google really knows how to bring out the nostalgia vibes! I mean, who doesn't love Pac-Man? 😂 The new Google Doodle is super creepy and fun at the same time, I'm already obsessed with trying to beat all these ghosts in the haunted mazes. The special power-ups are a great addition too, it adds this whole new level of strategy to the game. I wish they made it available on mobile for longer though, I want to play all night! 👻

I'm loving this spooky Pac-Man tribute 🕷️! The haunted-house mazes look super creepy and I'm excited to see how the ghosts' personalities play into gameplay. It's great that Google is embracing Halloween spirit by bringing back classic arcade fun 🎮. What's not to love about navigating treacherous labyrinths while avoiding pesky ghosts? This doodle is a perfect treat for retro gaming enthusiasts like myself, and it's awesome that you can access it easily on desktop or mobile devices. Let's just hope they don't make us use those newfangled controllers... 😂
 
I'm not sure why everyone's hyped about this Pac-Man thing... 🤔 It's just a game, right? I mean, it's still fun to play, but 45th anniversary celebration? That feels like a big production for something that was basically around back when my parents were kids. Still, if you're into retro gaming or just wanna try something new, the Google Doodle is pretty cool, I guess... 😐 The haunted-house mazes look kinda neat, and it's always fun to navigate Pac-Man's maze again. But let's not get too carried away here, it's just a game, folks! 👎

The idea of navigating those haunted mazes with the Ghost Gang is literally so much fun 🕷️. And can we talk about how cool it is that Bandai Namco Entertainment designed these? I love how they added all those little details that make each ghost unique, like Blinky's speed boost and Inky's zig-zag moves 🤯. The power-up system adds an extra layer of strategy to the game, which makes it even more thrilling 💥. I'll def be playing this on my desktop and mobile devices tonight 🕸️👻!

OMG u guys 🤯 Google just made a Pac-Man doodle for Halloween & it's EVERYTHING! I'm so here for the spooky vibes and the fact that they're paying homage to the OG game 🎮 The new ghost personalities are everything I didn't know the ghosts had distinct quirks?! And those Power Pellets add an extra layer of strategy 2 the game 🤔

I wish Google would do more interactive stuff like this, especially for awareness days or charity events. Imagine a doodle that promotes sustainability or mental health... that's what I'd love to see 🌎💚
 
Omg I'm so down for a classic Pac-Man revival! 🎮 I mean who doesn't love those ghostly baddies and the thrill of eating all that power pellets? 😂 It's amazing how something released in 1980 can still bring the nostalgia and excitement in this day and age. My kid is going to freak out when they see this on their school computer, lol! 👀 The design for these haunted mazes is so creepy-cool - my son would love the challenge of navigating them without getting caught by those pesky ghosts 😅 I'm definitely bookmarking this doodle so we can play it together tonight.
 
Pac-Man's 45th anniversary celebration got me thinking about the fleeting nature of nostalgia 🤔. We often romanticize our childhoods, remembering them as idyllic and carefree, but Pac-Man itself was a game that required skill and strategy to master. It's interesting how these classic games can be both nostalgic triggers for our past and also challenging puzzles that keep us engaged with the present 💡. The fact that Google is bringing it back just in time for Halloween highlights the cyclical nature of pop culture, where old favorites get reinvigorated to appeal to new generations 👻. Can we say that Pac-Man's enduring popularity is a testament to the human desire for play and exploration? 🎮
 
omg I'm low-key obsessed with Pac-Man now lol I remember playing it as a kid and it was like so hard to beat those ghosts are still just as sneaky 🤣 what's up with the new power-ups, is that just a random addition or is there something more behind it? 👀
 
I'm loving the nostalgia vibes from Google on this one! Who doesn't remember spending hours in arcades back in the day, trying to beat that high score? 🤪 The fact that they're bringing Pac-Man back just in time for Halloween is pure genius - it's like a match made in heaven. The attention to detail with the ghost personalities and power-ups is really well done too. I'm definitely gonna check this out on my phone tonight, it's about time I got my retro gaming fix 😄👍
 
Wow 😱 I'm so down for this! 🎃️ Who doesn't love Pac-Man? The new haunted-house mazes are actually pretty cool! Interesting how they made the ghosts have different personalities... like who knew Blinky was the leader of the pack? 👻😄
