Tasty Planet is a 2006 video game developed by Canadian indie game developer Dingo Games, which is similar to the Katamari Damacy line, but with Grey Goo instead of the Katamari ball. You begin as a micrometer-sized bit of experimental gooey grey bathroom cleaner created by a pair of scientists, eating tiny dust particles, but get free, and continue consuming, growing to eat mice, people, buildings, asteroids, the Earth, stars, a black hole, the entire universe, and finally SPACE AND TIME ITSELF.The game spawned a series of sequels and Spin Offs: Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds: Released in 2010, it can be described as a version of the first game changed to involve time travel, in contrast to the first game's mundane present-time setting. It introduced multi-part levels, wherein once you reach a certain size, the game zooms out to reveal a bigger scene, and you find yourself small again with new things to eat. Tasty Blue: A spin-off released in 2014 that features a layout similar to that of a Platform Game, where you play as a goldfish, a dolphin, and an experimental shark entity known as the "Nano-Shark", which was created by the same scientists as the Grey Goo. The overall gameplay and features are still similar to that of Back for Seconds. Tasty Planet Forever: Released in 2018, this game consists of multiple "worlds", each with its own protagonist (including the Grey Goo) and gameplay style. The worlds have about ten normal levels each, plus a similar amount of bonus levels.All games are available on PC through Steam, as well as on iOS and Android (with the first game being remastered for the latter two ports).A condensed flash version of the first game can be found here. A flash version of Back for Seconds, titled Tasty Planet: Dinotime, can be found here. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: A pair of scientists create a Grey Goo designed to eat dirt for use as a bathroom cleaner. Indeed, it eats dirt. All kinds of dirt. You think they noticed the planet we live on is named "Earth"? In Tasty Blue, the scientists create the Nano-Shark to compete against and eventually eat the ever-growing Goldfish and Dolphin in order to save the world, with the same results as the Grey Goo. Given the ending cutscene, it appears that they were anticipating the consequences now, since they have a "Failsafe Mode" to presumably eliminate the Nano-Shark, but they were too late in doing so. Even then, it proves useless anyway, as it turns out that a penguin had bitten one of the wires in the Failsafe Mode's system. In Forever, it's the older scientist's cousin who screws up with another of his creations, the experimental Parisian Cat, whom said cousin had sent out with the intention of cleaning the restaurant he and the younger scientist's cousin were working at in a similar manner to the Grey Goo. At least the Parisian Cat seems fine with only eating the entirety of Paris. | |

Canis Major: In one Cat level in Forever, you escalate all the way from a complete inversion of the trope with "pico poodles" who are millimeters long and small enough to be eaten by roaches to car-sized "poodles maximus". The Dingo in the same game eventually reaches this trope in size as he grows larger. | |

Protection Mission: In the sequel, you allegedly have one of these in the Roman era, where you're supposed to protect five Ballistas from Roman Gladiators until you can eat them. But really, all you need is to maximize your meter. Even in you fail to protect them, it's still possible (though not easy) to win even in Timed Mode. | |

| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_88ebc539 | comment |
Always a Bigger Fish: Many of the levels throughout the series, particularly multi-stage levels, are of this nature. In such levels, there are small entities (e.g. mice) that are consumed by bigger entities (e.g. cats) in the first stage, which are in turn pursued by even larger creatures (e.g. dogs) in the subsequent stage, and so on. There is even a level in Back for Seconds that is named the same as this trope. | |

Formally-Named Pet | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_c37e00e7 | comment |
Formally-Named Pet: In Back for Seconds, cats are given random individual names instead of being labelled as just "Cat". Sometimes the names get formal prefixes, resulting in names like "Ms. Kitty", "Mrs. Bitey", "Sir Pookie" or "Captain Patches". | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: The "Deadly" difficulty from Tasty Blue and Forever is the highest selectable difficulty level, standing just above "Hard". Enemy projectiles now deal even more damage, and some contact damage now outright results in instant death. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: The first game starts with you eating specks of dirt, and ends with you eating the fabric of time itself. Then the Grey Goo explodes, becoming a new Big Bang and birthing a new universe. The second starts with microbes, and ends again with the fabric of time. Then you find that the universe rests on a Turtle of Time, which rests on an infinite pile of Turtles. Forever starts with quarks and ends with multiple universes... that look like quarks. Then you work your way up again. | |

Uncanny Family Resemblance: The two restaurant employees seen in the opening to the Parisian Cat's section of Forever are cousins of the scientists (who don't appear in the game itself), and look almost exactly the same. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Various of the No Sense of Mass type. The goo is supposed to be able to eat anything smaller than itself, but sometimes what it can eat makes little sense. For example, it can eat entire sharks when it's less than a meter in diameter. In Back for Seconds, the size you can eat something at is determined from what it looks like from the top down. Thus, you can eat humans at 35cm. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Back for Seconds, as well as the mobile version of the first game, made it so that getting actually eaten is extremely unlikely, and in the latter, any entities that could eat you were changed to simply make you shrink, whereas in the PC version of the first game, some entities that are larger than you can actually eat you and cause you to fail the level. While this doesn't apply in hard variants, where Everything Trying to Kill You is in full force, see below. Back for Seconds introduced an indicator that points towards offscreen deadly enemies. This means that provided you are paying attention, you can't accidentally ram one because it wasn't visible yet. This indicator became a stay in subsequent titles when playing on "Deadly" difficulty. | |

Reset Button: Back for Seconds starts off with the same scientists inventing the same Grey Goo, but this time it's just something the older scientist made out of boredom. Presumably, this is in the new multiverse. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Tasty Planet (Video Game) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: The original version of the first game had a single art style for levels, cutscenes and the main menu, which involved rather rough drawings with thick lines and little shading. From Back to Seconds and the first game's remaster onwards, each game has an in-game style and a separate cutscene/menu style. While the former style remained consistent with outline-less figures and prominent shading, the latter had some considerable differences between games. The first two games had it as an improved version of the original art style with thinner outlines, larger amounts of shading, and a more polished look; in Tasty Blue it's more minimalistic in overall detail but otherwise has a more realistic approach; and Forever gives it its most realistic and detailed version overall. | |
