** Now featuring Achievements & leaderboards! **


The goal of the game is to eat all the strings in each level. But watch out for enemies! A single touch and you're dead! Whenever you go up or down on a string, all enemies will freeze - so use this to your advantage. With a bit of practice, you'll fly around all the baddies in a breeze in all directions.


Will you reach the end and beat the final boss?

Proplayer's tip : Did you know? You can actually kill enemies! For this you'll have to partially eat 3 segments of a string, the middle one being almost finished (1 munch left) and the two surrounding others eaten one time (2 munches left). And get that, you get 100 points for that. WOW! 


Proplayer's tip II : Some enemies can 't be killed... or can they? Legend is told that if you figure this out, you could potentially get 500 points each time!


Proplayer's tip III : Make use of the Invincibility Shafts™ - the extreme right or left sides of the levels. Some enemies can't touch you when you're there. Use this at your own risk... and advantage ;)


Author's note

This is a project I've been meaning to finish for a loooong time. The first design doc I did for it dates back to October 15th 2010! This is the third time I restarted coding it from scratch. The previous version was made in Flash in 2014 and was sadly abandoned halfway through because of my studies. So I'm quite proud of having finally completed it :D Have fun!
