The add-on, simply titled Pac-Man, turns the pie-shaped hero into a series of blocks who is still navigating mazes, eating pellets, dodging ghosts, and racking up high scores.

The ghosts—Inky, Pinky, Blinky, Clyde—also return and are in blocky fashion alongside the new ghost, Creepy, a green ghost that blows up when it gets too close, similar to Minecraft.

The add-on contains 10 3D mazes, a store that offers various power-ups, a high score board, and a maze editor for players to create their own.

The Pac-Man downloadable content pack is available in the Minecraft Marketplace for 1,340 Minecoins, or about $8. Minecraft is available on Windows 10 PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS devices.
