* {{Freemium}}: The mobile version allows players to purchase additional Themes for $0.99 US apiece if they don't want to save the coins to buy them. Otherwise, themes cost 2048 coins, making them time-consuming to grind coins for. Watching the ads and completing missions helps in this regard. Additionally, the player can pay $4.99 US for the Coin Doubler, which comes with an additional 2048 coins. The home console/PC versions of the game avert this, costing an upfront price while having all the themes unlocked on the get-go.

* GreenHillZone: The Garden skin gives the game a lush, green aesthetic with Pac-Man navigating dirt paths, with grass acting as the maze walls. The grass includes large flowers planted within, as well as white picket fences. Pac-Man has to contend with ladybugs as enemies instead of ghosts, and the Power Pellets that allow him to counter them are replaced with yellow mushrooms.
* GuestFighter: If the game is played using the ''VideoGame/CrossyRoad'' skin, you play as the chicken from that game instead of Pac-Man. The chicken is also one of the characters that can be selected when playing in multiplayer mode.

The game take the same traditional maze formula the series is known for and turns it into an endless runner. In a reference to the "level 256 glitch" seen in the original arcade game, Pac-man's primary threat is a giant glitch dimension that is slowly consuming the level and will kill him if he falls behind. In addition to the standard power pellets, there are other power-ups Pac-Man can obtain and use in game.
