Your hero is Muncher. You'll be directing his movements and eating habits while on your quest. Your objective is to eat the correct numbers or equations based on the heading of the level you are on. But be warned: there are creatures out there called Troggles that will get in your way! You may remember some of those shady characters: Reggies, Helpers, Bashfuls, Workers, and Smarties.
Without the hardware of your Apple ][ handy, you now move around the grid by touching a box. To eat the contents of a box, double touch it. Since you are no longer restricted to moving one box at a time, you must learn how Muncher moves to be successful at avoiding Troggles!
For every correct answer you eat, you receive points. Once you have eaten all of the correct answers you will move onto the next level. You will lose one of your Munchers if an incorrect answer is eaten or you cross paths with a Troggle. The game is over when you are out of lives. You can briefly keep yourself safe from Troggles while inside of the roaming 'safe box'. After every three levels you can sit back and watch a short, classic movie of Muncher taking care of business. When your game is over, you may be fortunate enough to have made it into the world-wide hall of fame!
There are five basic types of levels for you to play:
- Multiples: only eat multiples of the given number.
- Factors: only eat factors of the given number.
- Primes: only eat prime numbers.
- Equality: only eat equations that are equal to the given number.
- Inequality: only eat equations that are NOT equal to the given number.
You may also play all types together in series or in random order. As you progress in each type the difficulty increases. There are 250 distinct levels awaiting you!
Varying levels of difficulty are available to challenge your math skills. Also, as the difficulty goes up, more troggles will come after you and you will have fewer spare Munchers on hand. The harder you make it the more points you will receive per eaten correct answer.
Have fun!
Reviews
Read before munching

Bought this app hoping to revel in some 80s-era Number Munchers fun with my kids, but a few factors need fixing. First, as other reviewers have noted, this app requires users to double tap faster than most younger kids consistently can. Second, even on the Easy setting, this game progresses in difficulty so quickly as to be dispiriting. Third, there’s an occasional bug in which you will have munched all the correct numbers, but the level won’t clear. A few tweaks could make this a real winner.
Where’s the cutscenes

My favorite part and main reason I bought this was in the original you could watch little cut scenes after beating a couple levels.
Awesome!

I loved this game when I was in grade school and still enjoy it to this day. The game is as great as I remembered it to be. One drawback is that the game does not save if you return to the home screen.
Gooooooood

Ah nastalgia. Fantastic and would highly recommend to anyone that remembers this game.
Another Childhood Favorite

My only real complaint is that the Number Muncher isn't smart enough to avoid troggles that are in the way when you send him on a long path. Other than that, though, this is a wonderful update to a childhood favorite!
