Gobble

Gobble hands you a mouth buried in the ground and one rule that makes every level a small puzzle: eat everything except the people walking past, which means timing and target selection matter as much as raw speed once a level starts mixing eatable objects with humans in the same tight space.

Because clearing a level usually requires eating specific objects rather than everything on screen, scanning a level's layout before gobbling the first thing in reach helps avoid accidentally clearing a path you needed intact for a later object. Later levels introduce timing-based obstacles that punish rushing, so slowing down to read a new hazard once tends to save more attempts than repeatedly rushing into it blind. Pac-Man runs a similar eat-everything maze format from the opposite angle, avoiding threats instead of eating around them.
