Maze Muncher - Tiktok Live Interactive Game

Maze Muncher is a maze chase that plays itself. Munchi, a round fluffy critter, clears a glowing maze floor dot by dot on its own while your TikTok LIVE chat sends spooks wearing their own faces to catch it. The big number is DOTS EATEN: one dot is one step of the maze, so every gift's amount is literally how many dots it eats or spills back, and a gift of the same size in the other direction cancels it exactly. Clear a floor and Munchi dives through the exit into the next, bigger one, and the maze changes as it climbs. Knocked back far enough, Munchi drops into the basement floors below the start.

Nobody has to do anything. House spooks patrol every floor and catch Munchi on some of them, and sometimes one beats Munchi to the gold exit, so the run can go wrong with nobody gifting. A catch only spills some dots back out: there is no game over. Pick a goal floor; when Munchi clears it the gold exit opens and Munchi runs for the gate while a countdown ticks, and a gift that knocks the dots back before it ends blocks the exit. Reach the gate and that is a win, and the next goal moves further up. Autoplay is a setting: it is on by default, and switched off you drive Munchi yourself with the arrow keys, WASD or a swipe.

Gifts are the spooks. Each hurt gift sends a spook wearing the sender's own TikTok picture that bonks Munchi and spills dots, and the bigger the gift, the bigger the spook, up to a Mega Spook that rolls through the corridor. A Finger Heart turns Munchi into a turbo that inhales a long line of dots, and every 20 likes send a little wisp while every follow drops a cherry with the follower's face. A Galaxy brings the Ghost Storm: unless someone sends the Power Pellet before the countdown ends, every dot on the floor is blown back out. Every maze floor, every dot and every gift amount is worked out on the ScrollPlay game server.
