I think the dev already explained the gameplay but I could try to sum it up again. The game is all handled by simple one touch control where you simply tap on the screen to have your big big bad self try to fly right at that point in a straight line. Your mission is to grab as many yummies as you can before docking but the game has a pretty clever progressive scoring system. Once docked you'll get so many points per yummy swallowed but the points gained per yummy seems to be somewhat tied into your size. Pick up 3 guys before docking and you'd get about 75 points (3 x 25) but manage to snag 30 guys and you could make 9000 points (30 x 300)! The catch being it is pretty hard to maneuver around hazards when you're taking up 1/3 of the screen. The game has two type of hazards to thwart you. The meanies (looking like red bombs) and black holes. Bump into a meany and the game is over, simple as that. Bumping into a black hole is not fatal but instead empties out your ship of yummies and will enlarge the initially tiny black hole to whatever size you were before it shrunk you back down making it much harder to avoid for the rest of the round (each of the game's 30 rounds have their own scoreboad as well as one combined score scoreboard). Each level gets successively harder by throwing in more meanies and black holes to avoid. When it gets down to it, you're just playing a big ol' game of chicken vs. the meanies and black holes, how big do you dare to get before cashing your yummies in?

i have this for the iphone and ipad. definitely worth the extra buck to get the XL version. the bigger screen definitely makes it more fun. I would recommend this to almost everyone at this price point. Solid purchase.

This is a fun game for short play, but higher levels are very similar to the first, just with more pitfalls, so it gets dull quickly.
