Tasty Blue

Tasty Blue is an underwater side-scrolling game in which you eat creatures and objects to grow larger. You begin as a small goldfish whose owner has overfed it; after escaping into the ocean, you eat everything you encounter.

You can also play as a dolphin and a shark. The dolphin is an overworked aquarium star forced to jump through flaming hoops for food. It escapes by eating its way through the aquarium and taking revenge on its trainer. The shark is an artificial fish created by scientists to save Earth's oceans. It uses self-replicating nanotechnology to consume everything in its path and convert their matter into its own; its potential size is unknown.

Levels and environments

The main story mode has over 50 levels, followed by 15 more challenging bonus levels that you can play after completing the main game. The game has three main environments: temperate, tropical and arctic.

Difficulty and play modes

You can choose from a range of difficulty levels. On the easiest setting, enemies do virtually no damage; on the most challenging, enemies can eat you and cause instant level failure. Carnage Mode lets you adjust how much blood comes from your prey and is off by default.

Two players can play side by side on the same computer in local co-op. You can choose horizontal or vertical split screen, or shared screen, which gives you more screen space but constrains the players' movement together.
