How to play Maze Muncher
Maze Muncher is a fast arcade maze chase. You steer Mumpo, a round coral critter with big ears, through a maze and eat every glowing seed while four chasers hunt you. Every chaser has its own habit: Barb heads straight for you, Lurk aims ahead of you, Flank cuts you off from the other side, and Dozer chases from far away but sulks off to its corner when it gets close.
Each corner holds a power gem. Eat one and the chasers turn scared and dizzy for a few seconds, so you can catch them for 200, 400, 800 and then 1600 points in a row; eaten chasers float home as eyes and come back out. Side tunnels wrap around the maze, and a bonus fruit appears twice per maze. You start with three lives and earn a new one at 10,000 points.
Every level brings a brand new maze with no dead ends, faster chasers and a shorter scare time. Steer with the arrow keys or WASD, pause with P, or swipe on a phone to choose your next turn. Your best score and deepest maze are saved on your device, and after your last life you can watch a short video for one extra life.
