From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Pac-Man, the conqueror of 1980s ghosts, is back, and he has been playing Candy Crush. He is far from home. Standing in his way is a series of 10-stage sections.
Instead of chasing dots around the screen, the Bounce version of Pac-Man is launched from a standing start at various arrows, collecting stars, consuming ghosts and eating the keys he needs to access his house.
As an amalgam of an arcade icon with the gameplay of a simple puzzler and the superstructure of Candy Crush, Pac-Man Bounce is, by definition, derivative. But it’s progressively challenging enough to feel like more than just a cash-in.
