Game Description

Namco draws upon its most universally recognizable property in this Nintendo DS exclusive. The character that became an icon for the arcade heyday of the early '80s, Pac-Man gobbles his way onto the DS in a game designed to make good use of the handheld's most distinguishing feature. Pac-Pix is played on the lower touch screen, which is usually empty except for one or more ghosts. Players begin by drawing a picture of Pac Man himself. Assuming the rendition is reasonably accurate, it changes to a recognizable yellow color and starts moving forward. The goal is then to draw lines that lead the player's Pac-Man around the touch screen to chase and eat the ghosts. Proficient players can draw and control an additional Pac-Man, to double-team the fleeing ghosts. The number of Pac-Man characters that can be drawn is limited by the player's "ink supply," which is replenished by eating ghosts. The current level, time remaining, score, and other game-related information is displayed in the handheld's upper screen.

Pac-Pix (パックピクス?) is a video game developed and published by Namco for the Nintendo DS. It stars Namco's popular video game mascot Pac-Man. The game makes extensive use of the system's touch screen, making the user draw Pac-man and guide him through each level by drawing walls and devouring ghost monsters. Obstacles such as walls and shields must also be overcome by drawing bombs and arrows accordingly. Players also have control of the speed of the Pac-Man that they create, by changing the size of the drawing when it is created.

Story

A mischievous wizard one day came up with an invention called Ghost Ink that held great power. Whatever was drawn with the use of this ghost ink instantly turned into a ghost. These trickster ghosts then began to jump into different pictures and books, pulling pranks and causing general havoc and mayhem across the world.

Hearing of the crisis, Pac-Man rushed to defeat all the ghosts using the only thing that was powerful enough—the mighty magic pen. After a while, Pac-Man succeeded in trapping all the ghosts into one book, which was then promptly locked. But, before he could succeed in turning all the ghosts back into harmless ghost ink, he himself was also captured in a piece of paper!

With help from Pac-Man himself, the player must take control of the magic pen, turn all the ghosts back into ghost ink and free Pac-Man. Only then will peace and harmony return back to the world.
