Munch the numbers that obey the current rule, dodge the hunters, and survive each rule swap.

How to play
A rule sits at the top of the screen, eat only the cells that satisfy it, such as primes, multiples of a number, or factors. Eating a wrong number costs you; the rule mutates after a warning, so stay alert. Roaming hunters track you across the grid, so survival and scoring run side by side.
Match the live rule to score; ignore numbers that do not fit.
Avoid the hunters, contact ends the run.
Watch for the rule-change warning and re-read the board.
Three difficulty levels change pace and hunter aggression.
Controls
Desktop: move with the Arrow keys or WASD.
Phone & tablet: keyboard recommended, movement uses Arrow keys or WASD, so this one plays best on a physical keyboard.
Game modes
Daily seeded grid or endless Practice, each at Easy, Normal or Hard.
Tips & strategy
Plan a route that strings several matching cells together rather than darting cell to cell.
Keep an escape lane open, never let a hunter pin you against a wall of wrong numbers.
When the rule is about to flip, hover near a cluster that will likely qualify under the new rule.
