Meerca Chase II is a action game where players must guide a Meerca around the screen collecting Neggs. It plays like the video game Snake, and is a remake of an older title called Meerca Chase which was sent to the Game Graveyard in Year 7.
Overview
The player controls the Meerca with the arrow keys and to collect a Negg, they must steer the Meerca over it. Every collected Negg earns the player points, but also makes the Meerca's tail longer. The player must avoid Red Neggs, the arena's walls, and the Meerca's own tail: hitting any of these ends the game.
Modes
There are three normal modes of play: classic, where the Meerca turns at ninety degree angles; freestyle, were the Meerca has a turning circle; and maze, which plays like classic but with the added obstacle of hedge mazes. In these three modes, the Meerca is continually running forwards and all the player can do is turn them.
There are two modes, gravity mode and ferocious Negg mode, that are not initially available on the menu screen but they can be unlocked by typing in codes while on the menu screen.
The fourth mode, gravity, is unlocked by typing the code superextrahypergravitymode. The player has 360 degree control like freestyle mode except the Meerca only runs when the up key is pressed which is called Stop 'n' Go meaning the player cannot play it in the normal difficulties. The difference to this mode is that the player is continually being pulled to the centre of the arena and if they touch it, the game ends. The closer to the centre of the screen, the stronger the pull.
The fifth mode begins if the player types ferociousneggsareontheloose, which plays like classic mode except Ferocious Neggs appear instead of Red Neggs but are guaranteed to appear every time a Negg is collected. Ferocious Neggs will move around the screen bouncing off of the walls adding an extra challenge to avoiding them. In this mode the Meerca's tail does not grow so to aid the avoidance of the Ferocious Neggs.
The three normal modes can all be played at three different difficulties: at higher difficulties the Meerca moves faster but the Neggs are worth more points.
