Dot Muncher - Arcade Game

About this game

Dot Muncher is the classic arcade maze chase rebuilt as a single page. Guide a hungry amber hero through a symmetric twenty-one by twenty-three labyrinth packed with two hundred forty dots and four power pellets while four ghosts hunt with distinct personalities. The red one recomputes the shortest path to your tile, the pink one ambushes four tiles ahead, the cyan one mirrors across the red ghost position, and the orange one chases only when far then wanders when close. Scatter and chase waves alternate every few seconds, power pellets flip the hunt for eight seconds, chained ghosts pay 200 to 1600, bonus fruit appears twice per level, and every cleared maze raises the pace by eight percent.

How to play

Steer with the arrow keys or by swiping, eat every dot and power pellet to clear the maze and never let a ghost catch you.

Tips & Tricks

• Snap up a power pellet before entering a crowded corridor — a full fright chain pays 200, 400, 800 and then 1600.
• Watch the pink ghost at junctions — it always aims four tiles ahead of your current heading.
• Use the side tunnels to break a tight chase, hunters crawl through them far slower than you do.
• Keep the corner pellets for emergencies, one sharp reverse near a dead end can shake all four ghosts at once.
