K.C. Munchkin is a maze game that's heavily inspired by Pac-Man (1980, Arcade).
+ The moving dots force you to constantly reassess your strategy across the mazes and help provide extra challenge.
+ Rather than continual movement, your character can stop anywhere on the maze to goad enemies in.
+ Temporarily saves your high score while playing a maze, which acts as a great incentive to keep trying.
- Each game only affords you a single life, so it's tough to improve your skills due to being thrown back to slower levels.
- Offers little gameplay variation over Pac-Man and it's more of a neat curiosity rather than an advancement of the genre.
- Sprite animation and sound effects when you chomp an enemy are peculiar and almost seem like a glitch has occurred.
