Tasty Planet: Final Bite is a fast-paced eat-’em-up game where you grow bigger and bigger by consuming everything in your path. Play through six wildly different end-of-the-world scenarios, each starring a unique creature with its own method of destruction. Paperclip Maximizer An office supply company built a machine to make paperclips. One tiny programming mistake later… it’s turning everything into paperclips. Convert ants, pushpins, erasers, crayons, hamsters, printers, office workers, pickup trucks, and even entire buildings into paperclips. Good thing the world can always use more paperclips… right? The Fall of Atlantis The civilization of Atlantis was once peaceful and fair. Over time, its people became prideful and greedy, angering the gods. Play as one of the gods’ pets, Cetus, sent to teach the Atlanteans a lesson in humility. Consume scallops, flying fish, catfish, centaurs, griffins, submarines, warships, and finally the ancient city itself! This is the true story of the fall of Atlantis. House Hippo A tiny, mythical Canadian household creature accidentally eats maple syrup, triggering a runaway metabolic response that causes it to grow out of control and devour the house it lives in, then the entire city. Eat pill bugs, coins, light bulbs, turtles, toilets, hockey players, snowmen, houses, hockey rinks, and more! Teeny Tiny UFO Aliens researching Earth attempt to deploy an inconspicuous UFO to quietly collect samples of life on the planet, but the wrong drone is launched, and this one grows with everything it collects. Abduct cellular structures, weevils, corn kernels, fireflies, scarecrows, chickens, pigs, cows, farmers, windmills, hot air balloons, barns, and entire military bases as your UFO expands far beyond its intended size. Hungry Dragon Mistaken for an ordinary quail egg, a dragon hatches and begins consuming everything around it. It is only a baby at first, but its hunger quickly grows out of control. Eat breadcrumbs, fleas, wheat, gold coins, pewter cups, crowns, helms, mutton, knights, jesters, princesses, unicorns, and eventually entire medieval towns. Clay Goo In an alternate universe made entirely of clay, a strange amorphous blob falls from the sky and splashes into the ocean, where it begins absorbing everything smaller than itself. Eat shrimp, stubby squid, boxfish, sea stars, flintlock pistols, treasure maps, tricorns, coral, barrels, palm trees, pirates, rowboats, tall ships, mountains, and eventually the entire Earth. Features: -Hundreds of unique objects and creatures to eat -Nearly 150 levels of growth and destruction -Local co-op mode on iPad - eat the world together -Six completely different worlds and playable creatures
