Maze Muncher
Gobble every dot in a compact maze while four ghosts hunt you. Grab a power pellet to turn the tables and send them back to their house.
How to play
- Steer with the arrow keys, WASD, the on-screen arrows or a swipe. Muncher keeps moving until you pick a new direction.
- Eat every dot to clear the board and move to the next level, where the ghosts get quicker.
- Touching a ghost costs a life. You have 3 lives and the board resets when you lose one.
- Big dots are power pellets. For a short time the ghosts turn blue and you can eat them for bonus points that double with each one.
Tips and strategy
- Each ghost hunts differently. One chases you, one aims ahead of you, one gets shy up close and one cuts in behind.
- Save power pellets for when two or more ghosts are close, so the combo bonus is worth more.
- You can queue a turn before you reach the junction. Press the direction early and Muncher takes it at the first chance.
- Clear the corners first, since a ghost in a dead end has fewer ways to escape you.
