Piranha

About

Piranha is a maze-based arcade game where you guide a character through a grid filled with enemies and power-ups. The goal is to collect all the food while avoiding pursuers that increase in speed. Each level tightens the tension as you balance movement and risk. Released in 1981, it’s a lesser-known cousin to other early maze games. Its two-player mode stood out at the time for letting opponents chase each other directly. Simple mechanics make it easy to pick up but tricky to master. While it lacks the staying power of era-defining hits, it’s a quick, twitch-focused test of timing and evasion with a retro charm.
