Pac-Zania is a remake of the classic 1987 arcade game, Pac-Mania.
The remake adds new levels, includes the arcade intermissions as well as a few new ones, a whole set of remixed music tracks, new game mechanics and more.
The game is completely free and has been a lot of fun to work on, I hope you have as much fun playing it as I have had building it.
Downloads are available below for Windows and Linux. This is the first product I've released for Linux, and I'm not a Linux user, so hopefully everything will work as expected.
If you have any feedback on the game, I'd love to hear from you.

Version 1.1.0 (1st July, 2025)
- Add a new level select feature. You can start your next game from any level you've reached in a previous game. But you'll need to start at the beginning if you want to get the biggest scores!
- Modifed the high score entry system to prevent accidental name submission before the whole name was entered.
- The high score table now shows which level the player reached. (This isn't available for scores achieved in v1.0.0, but will be added for all new scores.)
- Added a new display setting that allows the game to be played in full screen mode, borderless windowed mode, in a maximized window, or in a normal window.
- Ghosts no longer reverse direction when a power pill wears off.
Version 1.0.0 (28th June, 2025)
