# Eat the dots … (GULP)

In this maze game you move around any one of six mazes at any one of nine speeds while a hunter tries to capture you. Though the mazes take time to master and contain some difficult passageways, the game can be played at reasonably fast speeds.

You may find the cursor keys difficult to use for movement because they are so close together. Another fault is that the game continues even after you eat the last dot, and you have to wait to be captured, which limits the number of points you can accumulate. But all in all, the game is enjoyable.
