- “You will be laughing and having the time of your life, slurping up food to grow and win.”

It's on App Lab and Steam; I've played both versions and included gameplay of both. If you see the graphical drop down a bit, that's the reasoning, but it's so barely noticeable between the two of them that I really don't think it matters that much.”
