Evaluation
Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds launched on March 29, 2016 as a complete, self-contained game. The store description presents a fully defined package: six time periods, nearly 50 main story levels, nearly 50 bonus levels, and a full co-op mode — with no mention of planned additions or future content. The developer has posted only two updates since launch: a crash fix in May 2017 and a controller/Mac compatibility update in March 2023. Neither patch added new content or referenced any upcoming additions. There are no DLC listings, no roadmaps, and no developer statements indicating further content is planned. The game was shipped as a finished product and has been maintained with occasional technical fixes since.

About this game
Control a tiny ball of grey goo with the ability to eat anything smaller than itself. The more it eats, the bigger it gets! Soon you'll be able to eat the entire planet!
The story begins with the goo eating a time machine, causing him to be sent back in time. Playing as the goo, you'll eat your way through six different time periods: modern, Late Cretaceous (i.e. dinosaurs), Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Feudal Japan, and the distant future. Each time period features a unique set of objects for you to eat. Mice, cats, Tyrannosaurus Rex, mummies, gladiators, and flying saucers are just a few of the hundreds of objects available for consumption.
Levels can span vastly different object sizes; in one level you'll grow all the way from the size of an amoeba to the size of a galaxy. A complete 2-player cooperative game is also included so you'll be able to play the entire game with a friend. After completing the main game you'll unlock a ton of bonus levels that provide additional challenge.
Levels
There are almost 50 levels in the main story mode of the game. There are also nearly 50 bonus levels - these include completely new levels and challenging versions of previous levels.
Controller Support
Keyboard and mouse controls are supported in all modes.
On Windows, most controllers will work for the single player game. To use controllers in 2-player coop mode, both controllers need to be Xbox 360 or Xbox One controllers.
On Mac, PS3 and PS4 controllers are supported.
