Re-live the era with blocky but colourful graphics and simple but captivating sound effects.

Four cunning Hoonos are in hot pursuit of your Munch Man. Can he make it to an energiser in time to change the attack, or will the Hoonos devour him? Munch Man challenges you to: - Score points by connecting passages with a chain - Score points by capturing Hoonos while your Munch Man is energised - Avoid being eaten by the Hoonos Movement on the screen can be controlled by on-screen buttons, swiping in the direction you wish to go anywhere on screen or using a MFI Bluetooth controller. To play the game, tap the screen or press a direction when “ARE YOU READY?” appears. You start the game with three Munch Men; one in the maze and two at the top of the display. Four Hoonos are ready to escape from the square boxes seconds after the game begins. These Hoonos are tricky, so don’t let them catch your Munch Man or he’ll be eaten! After your Munch Man leaves the protection of the maze’s centre, he cannot return to this area. In addition, your Munch Man cannot enter an opening into a Hoonos cell. You may pause the game during play by pressing the on-screen pause button or the pause button on your Bluetooth controller. When the pause screen is displayed, you may select the Hoono logic: -Munch Man. This means the Hoonos will behave exactly as the original TI-99/4a game. -Pacman. This means the Hoonos will mimic the behaviour of the "Pacman" ghosts as in the well known arcade game. This adds an interesting spin on the old classic! Each Hoono has a different intelligence level. The red Hoono has the most intelligence, the yellow has the least and so has the ability to disappear occasionally. Once a level is filled with chain is is completed. There are a total of 60 levels to master, each with varying difficulty, Hoono design and colours. ## Key features - Retro 80s arcade style - Classic maze gameplay - Score points by chaining passages - Capture energised enemies - Avoid being eaten - On-screen controls, swipe, or Bluetooth controller support - 60 levels with varying difficulty ## Chart rankings - #199 in Top Paid · Family (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 11) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/munch-man/id1321288894/reviews.md ### 2/5 — Please fix controls *2025-12-30* Game is perfect except the controls are very unresponsive. And no swiping dosent work. Hard to operate **Developer response:** Have you tried swiping? You can swipe on screen anywhere to control the player! ### 1/5 — Please fix controls *2023-01-10* Game is perfect except the controls are very unresponsive. And no swiping dosent work. Hard to operate **Developer response:** Have you tried swiping? You can swipe on screen anywhere to control the player! ### 3/5 — Need a joystick *2022-06-09* Great, nostalgic game. However, it’s very hard without a joystick. Hoping there will be an upgrade to make it more user friendly. ### 5/5 — Munchman Memories! *2022-04-28* Thank you for hard work of bringing this brilliant Ti 99 4a game back to life in iOS! It’s totally spot on! Please remaster ‘The Attack’ ! You’ll make me and I’m sure other Ti nuts very happy ! ### 2/5 — Great to see it; impossible control timing *2022-03-12* Played this often growing up and am so happy to see it again in what appears to be a pure recreation. However without the no-lag input of keys, the control scheme here whether utilizing on screen touch arrows or swipes make this an exercise in frustration, making the precisely timed inputs required nearly impossible to achieve. ### 1/5 — It’s time for a bug fix. *2021-03-10* I lived on this game as a kid, and as thrilled as I am that you have brought it back, I must point out... The finger swipe control works pretty well on my new iPhone 11 though it’s far from ideal, and that’s only when in regular mode. As others have stated, once the Munchman eats a power pellet and goes into speed mode there are several turns that are entirely too difficult and are nearly impossible to hit, thus distracting from the classic fluidity the original game had on the Texas Instrument. The swipe controller is one thousand times better than the other option of the directional controller you have offered, but the swipe controller definitely still needs some work, because it really could be fun if it worked better, but as is, it’s a bit disappointing. ### 3/5 — Amazing recreation, but controls tough *2020-05-25* I played this game for countless hours when I was a kid, and was so pleased to see this online. It’s everything I remember, but you can’t get past level 1 with these controls. Initially I though the only means of control was the little direction icons on the screen which made the game unplayable. The developer pointed out to me there were swipe controls which I didn’t know about, so I amended my review. Swipe controls make the game much easier, but it’s still very tough to execute specific turns, making the game very hard to play. Particularly when munch man is in speed mode after his power pellet. Not sure if the solution. Maybe have an option to slow gameplay or fine tune the swiping. When I was a kid using a keyboard, I was able to beat level 99 after a few days of play. It would be nice to have that level of control again. I love simple games like this to kill time in waiting rooms, but until the controls get improved a bit more, it’s not really playable. **Developer response:** Hi thanks for the feedback. It does have swipe controls. You can swipe anywhere on the screen. Please give it a try! ### 5/5 — i love TI 99/4A *2019-09-10* Its a good TI 99 pac-man like. i wish Car Wars (TI 99/4A Texas Instruments), the best ti99 game cartridge for me, please for iphone/ ipad Munch man is one of the 10 best TI99 games, like a pac man. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Car Wars is definitely one under consideration for future! ### 1/5 — Please improve the controls! *2018-09-21* I used to play this all the time back in the 89s, so I was delighted to see this available (and with a little luck, “Tunnels of Doom” won’t be far behind). Unfortunately, the controls are so lousy as to be unusable. The screen buttons are small and extremely unresponsive; not good for a game focusing on speed and making quick turns. The port is perfect, but please fix the controls! **Developer response:** Hi and sorry to hear you don't get on with the controls. I'm looking at ways to improve it but do you know you can swipe anywhere on the screen to move Munch Man? Also the game supports MFI controllers. ### 5/5 — AWESOME!! *2018-07-25* Thank you SO MUCH for giving us Munch Man!! I loved this game as a kid, and missed it terribly! What was cool about the Texas Instruments computers, is that it was set up to code, play a few games, and spread sheets and word, this was BEFORE cell phones and the internet, so imagine life when it was simpler and home gaming was new. ## Frequently asked questions about Munch Man ### What is Munch Man?
