Eating the pills will cause fruit to appear and eating one of those will reset the pattern of the pills (including power pills). One there is one player left standing, they win the round and move onto the next. Pac-Man Battle Royale is based upon Pac-Man Championship Edition which was released for home consoles like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 but it breaks away from that formula to a degree as the pill eating becomes secondary to the primary objective of eating any other Pac-Man on the board. Clean out the board to advance to the next. Most are already familiar with the typical Pac-Man formula – navigate a maze to eat all of the dots, avoid the ghosts unless you get a Power Pill where you can then eat them. The table or cocktail version as first offered was a neat break from the standard racer/light-gun fare and has the advantage of using the Pac-Man character. The latest arcade entry of Pac-Man to the market can as quite a surprise, designed as a way to celebrate 30 years of Pac-Man in the arcades. Originally Namco stated that they hoped to have the game ready for release in September 2010 but it was then delayed until January 2011. The game is simple, competitive, and highly addictive.” At the end of the game, statistics are displayed for each players such as “Won Most Rounds” and “Ate Most Pac-Man”, etc. Eating a piece of fruit or all of the pellets resets the maze with a fresh new set of power pellets. Players can also be eliminated by running into ghosts if there aren’t any powered up players. Players of the same size simply bounce off each other. Once powered up, they are now able to eat non powered-up blue players and ghosts. When players eat a power pellet, they power-up by doubling in size and increasing in speed. The original Pac-Man game concept has been given a carnivorous twist: Eliminate your opponents by eating them and the last Pac-Man standing wins the round.
