Monstrous eating mechanics seem to be a popular trend in games lately. From carnivorous post-Soviet elevators to retro fantasy RPGs that devour themselves, players are constantly faced with unique challenges. In Super Dungeon Muncher, players take on the role of a tiny hero navigating through a corridor-shaped map filled with traps, platforms, coins, and critters. However, the twist lies in the corpulent red monster known as the Muncher, which devours the entire level as you progress.
Similar to games like The Maw, the Muncher operates in real-time while the player and other creatures move in turns on a grid. The Muncher’s insatiable appetite adds a sense of urgency to the gameplay, forcing players to stay ahead of its voracious jaws. In addition to avoiding the Muncher, players must also engage in traditional RPG tasks such as purchasing weapons, finding keys, and overcoming obstacles.
Speed is crucial in Super Dungeon Muncher, but players can also manipulate the Muncher by feeding it less appetizing items like toilets. The game is now available on Steam and will soon be released on Itch.io and Google Play. For a different kind of edible gaming experience, players can explore creations by former L.A. Noire developer Jenn Sandercock.
