As the player progresses the levels, the logic rules have bigger numbers, and harder difficulty and multiple troggles pursue the muncher.
These modes include Multiples, Factors, Primes, Equalities, and Inequalities: The Troggles are monsters with two legs and a large head, whose goal is to eat Muncher and/or disrupt his progress by rearranging things on the board.
After approximately level 18, the game (especially the movement of the Troggles) accelerates to make responsible munching more difficult.
