Gameplay

In Money Munchers, the player guides a small figure through a randomly generated maze, picking up the dollar signs and avoiding the deadly "Money Munchers": creatures that attempt devour the money before you can collect it. The goal is to clear each level of money to advance to the next. The second level adds deadly spiders, while the third adds snakes.[2]

Reception

Creative Computing wrote, "When we first got Money munchers, some of us were heard to mutter, 'Not another maze game.' When the mutterers went away, our play-testing panel was left with the game. Soon after, they were heard to say, 'No, it is not just another maze game'."[2]

gollark: We should have fully automated commodities markets and a futures exchange.
gollark: I disagree.
gollark: Actually, prediction market good, and Krist is an excellent platform due to the lack of regulatory hurdles yet real* utility of it.
gollark: It basically replaces "who happens to have lots of GPUs to burn" with "who got in first".
