The game gets continually faster and harder with each level.If you've got little ones who are just venturing along the road to learning their first numbers and are being introduced to the wonderful world of maths, then you could do a lot worse than point them in the direction of Number Munchers. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons, the scenes often involve a Troggle planning to catch the Muncher, where either the Muncher foils the Troggle in some comical manner, or the Troggle's plan backfires. After every three levels, the player is presented with a comedic short scene. If all grids containing information matching the criterion were eaten from the screen, the level ended. The objective is to consume all and only the grids containing information satisfying a specific criterion (determined by the mode of play) while also avoiding the deadly "Troggle" monsters which roamed the grid.Įating a grid containing information that did not match the criterion of the play mode chosen or being caught by a Troggle resulted in the loss of a life. In all the Munchers games, the player controls a green "Muncher" character across a grid of squares containing a short numerical or word expression. These games were followed up by other titles that focused on areas like fractions ( Fraction Munchers) and trivia ( Knowledge Munchers Deluxe), and the original games also received deluxe versions. Teachers had the options to select the vowel sounds and how difficult the word sets would be, such as whether to include words that break pronunciation rules. Though the gameplay was the same as in Number Munchers, specific to Word Munchers were the modes of play, which includes parts of speech such as verbs or adjectives. It was popular among American schoolchildren in the 1980s and 1990s and was used as a teaching aid widely used in schools. Word Munchers is a spin-off of Number Munchers designed to teach basic grammar skills. An updated 3D version, Math Munchers Deluxe, was released in 1995. Designed to teach basic math skills, it was popular among American school children in the 1980s and 1990s and was the recipient of several awards. Number Munchers is the first educational game in the Munchers series.
