There's not much to it, looking at the map of each stage not all the mazes are the same, but there's not much variety, I managed to get to level 10 though, level 9 is so damned fast and it's almost impossible to shake a demon once he's on your tail. Arguably at this level it's better to ignore the map and just use the radar to dodge demons till you eventually cover all the ground. Come to think of it, I think the strategy that finally worked was, when you eat a Pac-man power pill use the map to navigate to the area with most dots or rather find the longest straight line of dots and get them all while you're invulnerable. After I realized Level 9 wasn't the and I assumed the levels just keep going up till the boot demons are so fast that each life starts with instant death. One problem I found was, while you're awarded extra lives, you have to have to earn a lot of points for it and I've never earned more than one per game.

I cared enough to record a levels 1-10 playthrough of the game for Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLltYseL-d8

Oh and I like that the author John Price used three old Scott Joplin rags as music :D
