Gameplay

The player controls an eyeball in a maze. As in Pac-Man the goal is to collect all of the dots to advance to next level, but in Eyes the player shoots the dots rather than eating them. Computer-controlled eyes chase and shoot at the player. Shooting a computer eye gives points and removes it from the level, but it will reappear a short time later. Being shot by a computer eye is fatal.

As the game progresses, more computer eyes are added to levels and they take less time to shoot at the player. They also move faster. There are eight different mazes.[3]

gollark: Anyway, soon™ links are to be saved in the apiodata cores.
gollark: I wanted sentences but this was much easier and basically good enough.
gollark: And the slightly *hacky* logic which maps positions in the text node to position in the whole paragraph.
gollark: That's it, apart from the mildly more complex logic which will try and get more words from one end if there aren't enough on the other.
