Pac-man Puzzle Tour is a real winner! If you are a fan of 3-match games like Candy Crush and Bejeweled Blitz, I think you'll really enjoy this one. Each level has different goals, so it keeps the game fresh. Some levels require a point goal with a set amount of time while other levels require matching hidden ghosts within the fruits within a set amount of moves. There are even levels that have biscuits that you must drop all the way down the board.

Unlike Pac-man Bounce, you aren't pummeled with ad videos, but they are available if you want an extra power or to recharge your hearts (energy.) The app is free to download with the option to purchase coins for energy power-ups. Loading the levels can be a little clonky at times and the menu headlines sometimes appear to be a bad translation from Japanese, but overall I've had fun playing. (I currently am passed level 100 if that tells you anything.)
