About

Piranha is a 2D fixed screen maze game very similar to Pac-man. You play as a feisty fish that is trying to gobble all of the bait on the screen. Meanwhile, there are four octopi that are trying to make a meal of you. If things get too desperate, you can take one of the warp escapes that take you to the other side of the screen. There are also four power-bait pellets that allow you to turn the tables on the octopi for a short period of time. There is only one maze layout thoughout the game, and it has a lot more open area than the maze from Pac-man.
