It is that good old classic Pac-Man game where the player controls the yellow hungry ball and eats the dots in a maze while evading the ghosts. In this game, players can eat ghosts after eating a power pellet. You might now wonder where is the battle royale in it.
So, players won’t play alone but will play with 99 other players. Further, players would become “Jammer Pac-Man” after eating the ghosts and be teleported to other players’ games, where the Jammers need to prevent them from eating the dots.
