Help Us Name Tasty Planet 2

Posted by James on July 2, 2010 under General | 30 Comments to Read

We aren’t too far off from releasing Tasty Planet 2 so we really need to come up with a final name. For a variety of reasons we want to name it “Tasty Planet: Some Subtitle” instead of “Tasty Planet 2″. So far we haven’t come up with anything amazing. The game has you traveling to different time periods and eating them, so we have been trying to come up with a play on words involving eating and time travel.

“Tasty Planet: Snack to the Future” (a play on the movie “Back to the Future”) was one of our favorite ideas but we found out that another game already used “Snack to the Future” (and put a little trademark symbol on it), so that one is out.

A few other names that I don’t mind (but don’t love either):

  • Tasty Planet: Snack Time
  • Tasty Planet: Snack in Time
  • Tasty Planet: A Morsel in Time

Actually one of my favorites ideas is “Tasty Planet: A Link to the Repast”… Pretty funny if you’re familiar with “The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past”. Unfortunately most people will not get it.

We could also go the Die Hard route – “Tasty Planet 2: Tastier Planet”.

Or how about Tasty Planet: Too Tasty?

What do you think of those names? We would love to hear your suggestions!

Preview Screenshots Of Tasty Planet 2

Tasty Planet 2 is really coming together. I took some screenshots to show everyone what it is looking like (note that the HUD elements are not in there). Usually when I take screenshots to release to the press I spend a lot of time trying to capture the perfect situation (sometimes I even play the game in slow motion to make sure that everything is just right). Not so with the screenshots – I just quickly grabbed a few from different levels (the goo’s eyes are even in the middle of a blink in one screenshot – the horror!).

There are still a few tweaks that we need to do, but overall we’re really happy with the look. What do you think?
