THE IDEA
About Text Chomp
The words were having a perfectly ordinary day until you arrived. Text Chomp is an endless little chase through a page of moving type. Guide the yellow character across the text and watch the letters make room, tumble into new arrangements, and settle behind you. Four colorful ghosts follow your trail. Get caught and the chase bursts into a cloud of punctuation before starting again. There is no finish line to find: just a playful page, some persistent company, and another direction to try.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to steer. Your character keeps moving in the chosen direction and wraps to the opposite side when it reaches an edge. On a phone, swipe across the play area or use the direction buttons. Keep away from the four ghosts and watch the text react as everyone moves. A collision triggers a brief ASCII explosion, then you automatically return to the chase. Press P, Escape, or Space to pause or resume, and use Restart for a fresh arrangement.
GOOD TO KNOW
FAQ
- Is there a maze, a score, or a last level?
- This is an endless text playground. The fun is in steering through the letters, avoiding the ghosts, and watching the page rearrange itself. There is no maze to clear or score to chase.
- What happens when a ghost catches me?
- The characters scatter into an ASCII explosion. After a short moment, your yellow character and the ghosts return and the chase continues automatically.
- Can I play on a phone?
- Yes. Swipe in the play area to choose a direction, or tap the on-screen direction buttons. The page adapts to the available space, and the pause and restart controls work with touch.
- How can I take a break?
- Use the pause button or press P, Escape, or Space. Resume whenever you are ready to keep moving through the text.
- Does Text Chomp have sound?
- Yes. Your first move starts the arcade intro, followed by a looping chase background and a waka rhythm as you move. Getting caught plays a distinct sound before the chase resumes. Use the sound button or press M to mute. Your choice stays in this browser, and sounds stop when you pause or leave the game.
