I thought I was in for a good time when I started this game, as it is decently well-made and looks good enough, but it's really quite repetitive and dull and the traps and other unlocks don't do much of anything to alleviate that. You just lure aliens into the same traps, or just chop them up, and then serve their corpses to their friends in mostly just cumbersome mechanics where you have to run back and forth to the fridge and none of the game design feels especially elegant or clever. You can level up by going to the next planet, a few times, but looking at the info screen, it looks like aliens on the second planet start asking for different meats, which just seems like it adds complexity with no added enjoyment. I had some fun with this, especially since it was quite cheap on sale, but I'm not sure if it's actually good or if anyone should play it. Maybe not. Diner Dash is probably more exciting even without the cannibalism.
