Chapter: a run of levels that brings in a new trick.

Arcade: quick play built on one simple, repeated action.

How the game behaves

You play as a mouth set into the ground. You move it along the surface, and whatever it reaches is swallowed: cacti, rocks, trees, crates. The aim of each level is to eat everything there except the people.

People are the one thing you must not eat. Swallowing a person loses the level, and that single rule is what turns an arcade idea into a puzzle: the order in which you clear the ground, and the route you take past the people, matter more than speed.

Each puzzle builds on the one before it, and new chapters add new tricks. What you work out in the early levels is the base for the later ones, so it pays to understand why a level worked rather than just getting through it.

Worth trying early

  • Before you move, find every person on the level and plan a path that keeps clear of them.

  • Clear the objects far from people first, then deal with the ones standing next to them.

  • If dragging feels hard to control near a person, switch to the arrow keys or WASD for smaller, more exact moves.

  • When a new chapter starts, take its first level slowly: it is where the new trick is introduced.

Likely to suit

Players who enjoy a clear rule and a small puzzle in every level, on a computer, phone or tablet.

Worth weighing first

One wrong move next to a person costs the whole level, which can feel strict.

The game opens on Poki, which shows ads around and between its games.
