  • The sound control button is in the lower right corner.
• Game Play
  • Indicators
    • The upper left corner shows how many spare lives you have.
    • The current level number is shown at the top center of the screen.
    • Your score is shown in the upper right corner.
  • Comparison to Pac Man
    • In Pac Man power pellets last a limited period of time. In this game the question mark lasts an unlimited amount of time.
    • In Pac Man the ghosts always come back, whereas in this game after you eat the ghosts they disappear for good.
    • In Pac Man you beat the level when all the dots are ate. In this game you must defeat all ghosts to beat a level.
    • This game has a total of 5 levels & does not award free extra lives as you score certain point amounts.
    • This game only has 2 ghosts in the first level and then subsequent levels gain another ghost each to where there are a total of 19 ghosts over 5 levels.
  • Scoring
    • Each dot you eat is worth 1 point.
    • Each piece of fruit you eat is worth 100 points.
    • Each ghost you eat is worth 100 points.
  • Strategy
    • Try to eat all but one of the question marks as early as you can.
      • If you run over a second question mark while you already have another active the game ignores it until you have ate the current target ghost.
    • Each time you eat a question mark quickly eat the correct ghost.
      • The question marks power up last indefinitely until you eat a ghost.
      • Make sure you do not run into a ghost with a different amount shown on it or you will lose a life.
      • Try to wait until a ghost is isolated from other ghosts before you eat it, as all remaining ghosts return to their normal form as soon as you eat the ghost holding the correct solution.
      • On some plays multiple ghosts may show the same correct value. When this happens eating any of them will suffice.
      • Ghosts change values each time you eat a question mark, so be sure you locate the correct ghost before chasing after them.
    • When you are down to the final ghost there is no risk of running into the wrong ghost, so try to eat the rest of the dots and any fruits that appear & then eat the final ghost after the level has been cleared.
      • Each time you score a perfect level you get a trophy. A perfect level is a level where all dots have been cleared and you did not lose any lives.
  • Hard Mode
    • If you score a perfect on all 5 levels you unlock hard mode.
    • Hard Mode is similar to the regular mode, except when you eat a ghost it stays in the game for the remainder of the level, sort of negating much of my above strategy advice.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for children learning arithmetic who love to learn through play.
  • The game has no adult content.
