What players say
A childhood classic. Tasty Planet is one of those games that brings back so many childhood memories. The gameplay is simple but incredibly fun, eat everything, grow bigger, and eventually eat things you never thought you could. It's easy to pick up, relaxing, and still just as fun as I remember. Definitely a childhood classic that I'll always have a soft spot for. 10/10 pure nostalgia.

I just came in to ride a little gray thing, and in 10 minutes I'm already devouring cars, houses, and not asking any questions at all. The game is just insanely fun, my brain gets to rest, and the appetite of this thing is bigger than mine after school.
I usually like this kind of game where your character, in this case grey goo, gets bigger and bigger as it eats or absorbs things smaller than itself. Games like the Katamari series (personal favorites) , Feeding Frenzy 2, Mutant Blobs Attack or Donut County. However, Tasty Planet feels like a more primitive example of that subgenre. To be fair, it was the first game in that series released back in 2006 and I'm sure...
