Universal Fun!
I rarely write a review, but I thought this game was worth it. I just spent a reasonable length of time (part of a Sunday afternoon) playing the entire game from beginning to end! I don't usually play these types of games, but every now and then I find one that I'm tempted to buy in order to play it to the end. The graphics were detailed enough to make it nice to look at, but I did turn off the music (I turn off most music for most games because I find it too repetitious).This was one of those games that I would describe as silly fun. Great for kids and adults alike, if all you want is entertainment that isn't scary or dark - like many popular games these days. It was fun eating stuff through the ages from the tiniest microbe to the whole universe. I enjoyed this one enough that I'm tempted to go back and try the original "Tasty Planet" and I most certainly will play this game many times over.

got it for son and i'm plaing it most.
greatly enjoy playing in relaxed mode. in this mode I always win, but definitely had to work for it. great fun eating people and their houses! The only thing I wanted was more levels! Eating things was great and making blockers blow up was fantastic!

Simple and enjoyable ARCADE game
This was classified as an Adventure game (which I enjoy), so I tried it. Actually, Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds is an ARCADE game. (What could be more directly ARCADE than a pac man type of game?)
Since I am generally terrible at ARCADE games, I played the casual mode. It was not as hard as I was expecting--and more fun. There is something enjoyable about being able to gobble up things that had only shortly before needed to be avoided.
I suspect the timed mode would be more of a challenging to those who are more skilled at ARCADE games than I.
If you like complicated games, Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds is probably not for you. Game play consists of gobbling up everything smaller than you while avoiding things that could harm you. There is enough challenge to be enjoyable--especially as levels get harder, but not so much as to be totally discouraging to those of use who usually do not play ARCADE games.

Great mindless fun
This game seriously needs to be made smartphone and tablet compatible. It's so much fun just sweeping the blob across the screen, and I couldn't help but laugh at the stuff it ends up eating. The comic book like inter-titles also add to it. The elevator music like audio took away from it for me, but was kind of a funny dissonance (like how gangsta rap comprised the soundtrack to Office Space.) All in all, I recommend this game; it's incredibly easy to play, switching between keyboard and mouse control is seamless and it's simple enough controls to play on a laptop computer. I hope to see more games in this series!

Super fun
The best of this type of game: the rules are simple, the story is really fun, and there's enough variation in play to keep things interesting.
Plus - I just got to eat a T-rex!

Munch Mania Again!
If you've got good mouse control and enjoy perfectly silly story lines, this is for you! Munching and growing you move your way through a delightfully zany planet dodging larger and and eating smaller objects/animals/people as you go. No serious concepts or high ideals, just lotsa fun!

Gobble Gobble Gobble!
Great fun, challenging without overtaxing your brain, thoroughly enjoyable. A very simple concept that I didn't think would have legs but I've played the whole thing today and wish there were more levels (not that it's a short game or anything).
Also is proving popular with my 4 year old in the casual mode.
Really enjoyed every second.

Good for young and old!
I bought this for my 7 yr. old grand daughter several months ago and she loves it! She keeps going back and starting over. Because it gets progressively harder my husband will finish the game for her when it gets to difficult. He enjoys it as much as she does.

Can't stop playing - it's all hotmomma1422's fault! lol
Never played a game like this before, it's lots of fun and hilarious!! Rather simple beginning, just eat all the stuff that's smaller than you and stay away from the big stuff, at least 'til you get bigger. Wow do you get bigger! Can't believe the stuff this thing can consume. Great gameplay, selectable play modes and a whole lotta fun. When my husband can't get me off this game ... I just tell him it's hotmomma's fault - because she bought it for her son, then she ended up getting addicted. If you want something different, give it a try. Sure glad I did. 5 Stars
