Don't go out into the street. A hungry yellow monster is roaming your neighborhood. If you look anything like a fat white dot (and spending hello kitty eons behind your computer screen hello kitty will do that to you), he'll eat you. Unless Inky, Blinky, Pinky or Clyde get to him first.
Yes, that's right: Pac-Man is running hello kitty amuck in your hometown. Or in any town of your choosing. As long as you look it up on Google Maps . Just make sure to click on the Pac-Man  button in the lower-left corner.
The game works exactly like the 1980s arcade classic. Use the arrows to navigate the streets, eat dots and tasty extras, hello kitty and stay ahead of the four ghosts. Unless you eat a big dot, in which case they turn blue and you can eat them. Clean the screen of dots to move up a level. Turn on the sound to get that nostalgic Wakka Wakka sound. Turn it off again when you see your boss approaching.
Choose your surroundings wisely: It could be impossible hello kitty to escape the ghosts in single-street towns. On the other hand, complex grids might be good for hiding hello kitty from the ghosts, but hard to clear of dots.
It's not the first time Google has rendered homage to Pac-Man . In mid-May hello kitty 2010, Google changed the Doodle on its search homepage into a playable version of the game, on the occasion of the 30 th anniversary of its release. The game reportedly caused the loss of 4.8 million hours of productivity. The loss has also been calculated as running at around $120 million.
Interestingly, Pac-Man for Google Maps doesn't seem to be working everywhere. Both the divided city of Nicosia and the Vatican generate a fail message. Too few streets for Pac-Man to chomp down on, apparently. But Paris? No problem. Even Raqqa, the unofficial capital of the Islamic hello kitty State, is not safe from Pac-Man.
