About this game

The world of Pac-Man games is far from narrow. Not only a whole category in "Journey to the Past," but also dozens, if not hundreds, imitations and innovations. If the information in front of me is authentic, Pacman is very high, at the top of the most admirable table of all time - so no wonder that his versions are many? Cruncher is one of many, but it still manages to innovate (even if it is a monitoring innovation). For those who do not know, if there is such a human, Pacman is a simple but addictive arcade game. The goal is to pass through a symmetrical labyrinth, collect all the golden grains in the game area and creatively evade the five colorful and colorful monsters (once I knew their names and properties but this memory was dropped along with the original version of the game). What's special about Cruncher, apart from the good graphics, is the speed and structure of the maze - two elements that are much missing from the game of Pacman. A second to rest is not here. There is a need for constant movement, high concentration and frequent use of the "big grains" that turn the chasing monsters into persecuted ones. Besides, many escape hurdles and "nodes" open up many escape possibilities, although most of the time they break themselves down best. Apart from these two important elements, there are no innovations and perhaps even better.
