* AntiFrustrationFeatures: ''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 the level to fail.

''Tasty Planet'' is a 2006 video game similar to the ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' line, but with GreyGoo instead of the Katamari ball. You begin as a micrometer-sized bit of experimental GreyGoo bathroom cleaner, eating tiny dust particles, but get free, and continue consuming, growing to eat mice, people, buildings, asteroids, [[PlanetEater the Earth]], ''stars'', a [[SerialEscalation black hole, the entire universe, and finally SPACE AND TIME ITSELF]]. Though it pretty much TastesLikeDiabetes.

But really, all you need it to maximize your meter. Even in you fail to protect them, it's still possible (though not easy) to win even in Timed Mode.

In 2010, the sequel ''Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds'' has come out, in which our protagonist can time travel. It also features multipart levels, which means 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.

A demo version can be found [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/dingogames/tasty-planet here]]

!!This game includes examples of:
* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: In ''Back for Seconds'', the last level in each time period is a concatenation of multiple levels from that period, with an added twist ending.
* ApocalypseHow -- Class 0, then stepping from Class X through X-4. [[spoiler:And then subverted when your BlobMonster becomes so powerful that in turns into a new Big Bang.]]
* BlobMonster
* BrainInAJar: The Professor and assistant become these to survive until the blob appears in the future.
* CuteMachines -- It's a blob with cutesy eyes!
* EarthShatteringKaboom
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: In the ocean and cosmos, almost everything bigger than you will kill you.
* ExtremeOmnivore -- Technically Ultimate Omnivore.
* GenreBlind: The scientists who created the blob have evidently never heard of the GreyGoo scenario.
* GoneHorriblyRight
* GreyGoo
* MadeOfExplodium: In the sky levels, planes will explode on contact with other planes, hot air balloons, the grey goo, kites, or even birds.
* MarathonLevel
* MegaMicrobes: That eat galactic superclusters.
* {{Nanomachines}}
* NonMaliciousMonster: The grey goo.
* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Lampshaded by the scientists.
* PlanetEater
* ResetButton: ''Back for Seconds'' starts off with the same scientists inventing the same GreyGoo, but this time it's just something the elderly scientist made out of boredom. [[spoiler: Presumably, this is in the new multiverse.]]
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: 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 the second game, 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.
* SerialEscalation
* TimeTravel: ''Back for Seconds'' has the GreyGoo eating a time machine, then going back to the Late Cretaceous, then to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, feudal Japan, and the distant future.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: In Cosmos 4, black holes actually suck in stars (yet for some reason don't suck in the grey goo...).
* VillainProtagonist: Arguably, the grey goo.
* WombLevel: During the tutorial levels of the first game, the grey goo bites one of the scientists and spends a level in his bloodstream.
