Tasty planet back for seconds5/9/2023 The levels are small, quickly completed and easily digestible, so you can dive in for a quick 5-10 minutes of gluttonous gaming joy. It’s got that little something that makes you want to go back. I’m a little surprised and pleased to say that I’m still going back to Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds. Some levels are near labyrinthine and are unlikely to be done to gold standard speed on your first try. Getting gold on every levels requires knowing level layouts, spawn points and ideal routes. On the flip side however, if you want to complete every level with a gold medal and unlock everything, then your time is going to be much harder. The enemies are easily avoided and there won’t be many reasons to retry a level. If you’re happy breezing through each level, not caring how quickly you do it, then chances are you’ll find this game very easy, almost to the point of it being relaxing. The difficulty of Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds depends on how many little gold medals you want to see, and how many of those bonus levels you want to unlock. The childlike imagery within the game helps to maintain that bright and bubbly consistency throughout the game. The protagonist is little more than a grey splodge with a face on it and the inter-level cut scenes are nothing but comic strips, but I’m not going to grade the game down for these because the entire package is perfectly fitting for this game. Graphically, Tasty Planet isn’t going to win any award for realism, but the cartoonish graphics, and bold colours are striking and effective. Tasty Planet keeps things very simple but effective. That’s it! Apart from using your left mouse button to select things from menus there are no other controls. Move the blob into your prey to eat things. The control method is easy your mouse moves the little grey blob around the screen. ![]() ![]() These bonus levels often have additional challenges, like finite amounts of things to eat and hungry predators for example. If this tromp through time isn’t enough for you, there are a few bonus levels that you can unlock depending on your progress through the main game. Depending on how quick you complete the level you could be given a bronze, silver or gold medal. If the blob touches them it’ll lose some health, lose enough health and you’ll have to start the level again. Some of the larger creatures will actively try to hunt the grey blob down and eat it. However, it’s not unopposed in doing this. There’s a little size gauge at the top of the screen that shows you how big it is and how big it will need to grow for you to complete the level. The more it eats, the bigger the blob grows grow enough and the screen moves backwards revealing bigger things that it can eat. ![]() ![]() Move the little grey blob around the screen avoiding anything bigger than you and eating everything smaller than it. The premise of Tasty Planet is very simple. You play as a small amorphous grey blob that, after being created accidentally by a scientist, escapes and jumps into a conveniently placed time machine, so off it pops to devour everything it can as it travels through various time periods of history Prehistoric Era, Ancient Egypt, Rome, Feudal China and finally the future. Tasty Planet Back for Seconds is the sequel to Tasty Planet. Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds is definitely one of those games. Every so often you come across a little Indie gem that grabs you by both ears and plants a giant smacker of a kiss on your forehead and a beautiful relationship develops between you.
