You choose the number (from one to four) of ghosts you wish to evade — the difficulty increases with each additional ghost, and they pursue you with increasing speed in each subsequent play. Though the maze is not adjustable, it is well-constructed and features complicated turns and passages. The keys that control movement (6, 7, 8 and 9) are very close together, causing difficulty during high-speed play. Another slight fault is that you must begin again if you wish to change the number of ghosts. But [Munchees](http://localhost/product/munchees/) is still a most enjoyable game to play — repeatedly.
