works best with Sensitivity set to “LOW"

Update 2/16: Yet a few more tries, and I’ll say that the controls officially need a lot more work. But yeah, it’s a hoot and a big laugh when I’m at a T intersection and repeatedly try to go right before the ghosts come and…nothing happens. I’m a sitting duck and the ghosts just nab me. It’s hilarious. Makes me want to play some more! Hahaha! NOT. Even better is when a turn is miscued, and when I try again, I end up going in the opposite direction AND inexplicably making a couple more turns that I didn’t ask for. Does Bandai Namco have an evil department deliberately coming up with these annoying “features" on purpose or something?

Update 2/14: I gave this game another chance and changed the sensitivity of the controls to “LOW.” Although it still sometimes misses a cue every now and then, it’s much better with this setting. I was able to play longer with much fewer unintentional and fatal moves. I’m calling it three stars for now. That said, Pac Man 256 is a much better experience. I would love for this game to have that same feeling of reliable control.

This particular app makes a fun classic game very NOT fun. Whose bright idea was it to turn it into something that just makes me really mad every time I give it another chance? If I swipe right, it means…I want to go right. It does not mean go up. It does not mean go left and then up to aim right for the ghosts. I wish the controls were more reliable so I can actually enjoy this time-tested classic. But I guess this is the way the game goes: make random moves regardless of what I tell it to do. Bandai Namco, if that’s your goal, then GOOD JOB!!! I suggest that you just follow through and ignore every single swipe and just move 100% randomly. If you’re trying to ruin the game at all, then be more thorough and ruin it COMPLETELY.
