About Dot Muncher

Munch every dot in the maze while the ghosts hunt you down. The four big glowing dots turn the tables: for a few seconds the ghosts turn blue and run away, and you can chase them instead. One ghost on level one, two by level three, three from level five — and they get bolder as you climb. Two promises the game keeps: a ghost is never faster than you, so there is always a way out, and no corridor is ever a dead end.
