The Pac-Man Google Doodle is a playable HTML5 game, created by Marcin Wichary on May 21, 2010 to celebrate Pac-Man's 30th anniversary. The logo was originally featured on the Google homepage, before being removed after 48 hours; it is still accessible online by Google searching for the term "Pac-Man" or "pacman 30th anniversary".
The gameplay is very similar to the original game, with similar Ghost A.I. The main difference is the shape of the maze, which is now shaped around the Google logo. There is also a two-player co-op mode with Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, which can be accessed by clicking "Insert Coin" after the game has already begun; the description said that it was "a little easter egg".
