Google Pacman 30th Anniversary Logo, Day 2 – Play Pacman on Google

And so it continues! Google’s Pacman Logo is up for a 2nd day as Google celebrates Pacman’s 30th birthday by not only creating a Google Pacman Google Doodle logo, but by turning the Google Pacman Logo into a live game of Pacman that you can actually play.

Play 2 Players on Google Pacman

Here’s something that you may not have noticed. Where the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button used to be is not a button called “Insert Coin”. If you push the “Insert Coin” button once, the game will launch. If you push the “Insert Coin” button a second time, then Ms. Pacman will appear and you can now play simultaneously with two players!

Google Pacman Logo Not Using Flash

The other cool part of the Google Pacman Logo is that it is not using flash – only Javascript, HTML and CSS. So the Google Pacman Logo is something that even Steve Jobs would be proud of.

And since the Google Pacman Logo is not using Flash – this must mean that you can play the Google Pacman Game on your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Has anyone played the Google Pacman Logo game on their iPad?

How long will Google Celebrate the Pacman 30th anniversary?

There have been several instances in the past where Google carried on for days with a Google Logo celebration.

For example, Google celebrated Sesame Stree’s 40th Anniversary with 7 days of Google logos (see all 7 Sesame Street Google Logos).

Also, for this year’s 2010 Winter Olympics, Google celebrated the Olympic games with a new Google Logo for each day. During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Google decided to highlight one specific winter Olympic game with their Google Logo. And the day 2 Winter Olympic Google Logo actually saw 2 different logos because of the Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili incident where he died during a luge practice run.

I covered all 18 days (I think it was 18 days) of Google’s 2010 Winter Olympic Logos.

So how long exactly Google will continue on with the Pacman 30th Anniversary Logo is unknown at the moment, but since the Pacman Google Logo is the same today as it was yesterday, then I would guess that it will not be up for much longer. Perhaps through the weekend…

What do you think?

So have you played the Google Logo Pacman game yet?

Have you found any little secret golden nuggets or tricks that Google has placed in the Google Pacman game that aren’t obvious initially?

On the iPod Touch at least, the logo is just the standard google logo :-(

go to google.com on your ipod touch browser and at the bottom click desktop, it should load the game and you zoom on the logo and swipe to move the pacman, be careful not to touch the text input otherwise you will mess up your game lol.
if it dosent play on desktop make sure you have pressed the "insert coin" tab (where the old "im feeling lucky" tab was, good luck

It didn't work…the game starts, but I couldn't do anything with it

cant wait till summer holidays whooo

We have a holiday on Monday in Germany – would you please leave Pacman until then??

how do you turn the darned thing off?

I poked around in the files and links, I found the sprites PNG:

Notice that it appears to have Super Pac Man (just left of the board) and some sort of worm looking thing between two pairs of alternate Shadown/Blinky sprites. Not sure what the deal is with those…

The game replicates the original, so the Super Pac Man shows up in the first intermission (between levels 2 and 3). The other sprites you found are for the other intermissions. .

search for something?

the google logo IS using flash!! jeez who the crap told you it wasn't it's using flash to stream the music which is kinda a big thing for pac-man, it's day 2 and you still do not have it right.
