It's the season for sequels, but luckily here's a good one. Feed Me Oil 2 is back with shiny new graphics, though the basic premise stays the same: get the required amount of oil into the marked space. It's harder than you'd think. Apart from the initial easy level, there are obstacles to guide the oil around and you are supplied with a limited number of tools with which to do it: rods to block the flow of oil, fans to direct it elsewhere. Getting the three stars for each level will require some thinking, and at times it seems almost impossible. However, if you want to breeze through the levels, you can do so relatively easily and quickly. But it quickly becomes addictive as you challenge yourself to try to get just one more star on a particularly difficult level. It falls firmly into the category of "time sucker" also occupied by the likes of Temple Run, Cut the Rope and Where's My Watery. Easy to pick up, hard to put down.
