Pac-in-Time

Developer: Namco

Pac-In-Time recasts Pac-Man as the star of a colorful side-scrolling platformer that blends precise jumping, item-based puzzles, and light action across themed stages. Players guide Pac through traps, environmental hazards, and timed challenges while using tools and pickups to solve puzzles and reach exits. Levels reward exploration and pattern memory, with occasional boss encounters that recall arcade roots. The game balances accessible pick-up-and-play charm with some tough platforming moments, offering nostalgic visuals and sound for fans of classic 16-bit platformers and arcade-era Pac-Man.
