About this game

Morinaga Pac-Man mini is an online game first published in March of 2020. Released by Morinaga, it promotes their "Hi-Chew Mini" and "Caramel Mini" candies. While defunct, this game is still fully playable via the Internet Archive. The Hi-Chew and Caramel Mini candies encouraged "flavor mixing" by eating two specific flavors at once, forming a "new" flavor when combined. The game is adapted from the arcade original, though the Power Pellets are replaced with the respective candies; the Ghosts will turn into the actual candy flavors formed by mixing. There are both "Normal" and "Special" game modes. In a standard game, the maze would be randomly selected to be either a Hi-Chew or Caramel maze. In the special game, the two mazes appear side-by-side, both being played at once. The special game was accessed via the UPC code on an actual candy box; this can still be played today by entering a known code, 166 and 001.
