Glyph Eater

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.
