Namco, the creators of the Pac-Man series, have released another Pac-Man adventure on the App Store. Pac-Chomp! is a different take on the standard formula of munching enemies and collecting orbs.
Pac-Chomp! is a match 3 puzzle game that requires users to match sets of ghosts in multiple rows or columns, then have Pac-Man eat them. There is also a screen-rotation button of sorts that mixes up the gameplay. Here is the info from the app description that describes the gameplay in greater detail:
This is a simple puzzle game where you match 3 GHOSTS of the same color. Moving PAC-MAN is the key to getting a high score. Make use of the ROTATE button to get PAC-MAN to gobble up a range of items. When he chomps on an item lots of GHOSTS disappear at once! Gobbling a POWER PELLET causes all the GHOSTS to TURN-TO-BLUE! Eat as much as possible to get rid of those pesky GHOSTS. In later levels you'll run into even more types of GHOST. [Game modes] -NORMAL *In NORMAL mode eliminate pesky GHOSTS to fill up the time gauge and clear each level. -HARD CORE *In HARD CORE mode the gauge empties faster than NORMAL mode, resulting in an action-packed race against time. -SCRAMBLE *In SCRAMBLE mode rush frantically to build up your score as high as possible within the time limit!Pac-Chomp! is currently available on the App Store for only $.99.
