Maze Muncher

A fast, original take on the classic dot-eating maze chase. Clear every pellet, dodge the ghosts, and use power pellets and a well-timed treat to survive deeper, trickier levels.

How to play

Guide your muncher around the maze and eat every dot to clear the level. Four ghosts roam the corridors — touch one and you lose a life.

Eat a large flashing power pellet and the ghosts turn frightened for a few seconds: chase them down for bonus points before they recover. Drop a treat to lure ghosts away from a tight spot.

Origins

Maze Muncher belongs to the maze-chase craze that swept the arcades at the start of the 1980s — clear a maze of dots while a pack of pursuers closes in, then turn the tables for a few frantic seconds when you grab a power pellet. The format was a phenomenon, drawing huge new audiences into arcades and helping define the golden age of the coin-op game.
