Comment: Needs a lot of work sadly: - It fails WP:GNG as most of the sources here are not WP:RS, such as WP:PRIMARY sources such as Creepypasta Fanon Wiki and Talking Tom Wiki. This needs significant coverage from reliable sources like those in WP:VG/S- It runs afoul of WP:NPOV and WP:PROMO by repeating promotional language like "wide range of exciting features", and also places WP:UNDUE focus on rumours that have no basis in reliable coverage. - Quite a lot of the article is uncited.

Space Trails is an online multiplayer mini-game within the app My Talking Tom 2, similar to Snake Trials in My Talking Hank: Islands, where players control a pet's rocket to grow longer by collecting space dust, similar to the game "Slither.io" or "Snake". Players aim to avoid crashing into other rockets, which results in their own defeat but gives their debris to others, and they can use "flight tokens" for a speed boost to outmaneuver opponents. The objective is to become the "king" of the game by being the longest rocket on the server[7].
Gameplay
[edit]- Objective: Control a pet's rocket in a spaceship arena to collect space dust and grow the longest trail.
- Controls: You steer the rocket's trail, which grows as you collect space dust.
- Collecting Space Dust: Collect floating space dust to lengthen and widen your trail.
- Normal dust: This dust appears randomly around the map.
- Pet dust: When a player is eliminated, they leave behind a trail of brighter, more substantial dust. Collecting this will give you a bigger boost in size.
- Speed Boost: If your trail is long enough, you can gain a speed boost to outmaneuver others.
- Elimination: If your rocket's top hits another player's trail, your rocket is destroyed, leaving a pile of space dust for others to collect.
- Flight Tokens: Find flight tokens to get a temporary speed boost and gain an advantage.
- The King: The player with the longest trail is crowned the "king" of the server.
Key Features
[edit]- Multiplayer': Space Trails is an online game played with other players.
- Pet-Centric: The game allows you to play as your pet from My Talking Tom 2.
- Leaderboards: The goal is to achieve a high rank and become the "king" by being the longest player.

Development and Release
[edit]My Talking Tom 2 is a virtual pet game developed by Slovenian studio Outfit7 and released in late 2018. The game is a sequel to the highly successful My Talking Tom, which helped establish Outfit7's presence in the mobile gaming market[citation needed].
Development
[edit]My Talking Tom 2 was officially announced by Outfit7 on February 28, 2018. Building upon the established formula of the Talking Tom & Friends franchise, which debuted in 2010 and exceeded 3 billion downloads by 2015, Outfit7 introduced new gameplay mechanics for the sequel. A key feature was the "ragdoll" system, allowing players to grab and move Tom's body freely, adding a new layer of interactivity.
The game was built using the Unity engine, with improved graphics and smoother animations compared to its predecessor. A major development for the sequel was the addition of new, interactive pets that players could care for alongside Tom.
Release Timeline
[edit]- Beta release: August 16, 2018
- Soft launch: September 2018 (regional release)
- iOS release: September 25, 2018
- Android release: September 27, 2018

Post-launch updates and Versions
[edit]Outfit7 has regularly provided ongoing updates for My Talking Tom 2, adding new content and events. On April 9, 2024, a stripped-down, ad-free version of the game, titled My Talking Tom 2 Lite, was released exclusively for Android.
Reception
[edit]My Talking Tom 2 was a commercial success, reaching over 200 Million downloads, with fans from the My Talking Tom & Friends series prasing it for it's graphics[citation needed].
User reviews for My Talking Tom 2 have been mixed. While many players and parents have praised the game's engaging gameplay and cute visuals, others have criticized its intrusive advertisements and excessive monetization. Some parents have expressed concern over ads for other games that feature inappropriate or violent content, despite My Talking Tom 2 being a children's game[citation needed].
Technical issues have also been reported, including game freezing, crashing, and unresponsive controls during mini-games. Additionally, some users have found the constant notifications reminding players to care for Tom to be nagging and manipulative[citation needed].
The most common complaint, however, is the large volume of advertisements, including video ads and banners. Some users have reported that this issue persists even after purchasing the ad-free version.
Despite these criticisms, many players, especially younger children, have found the virtual pet game to be fun, engaging, and addictive[citation needed].
It's worth noting that conspiracy theories surrounding My Talking Tom 2, have been thoroughly debunked. These rumors originated from a years-old hoax about another game in the series, Talking Angela, and have no basis in reality[citation needed].
Thought the many theories surrounding Talking Tom 2 are rising, there is no credible evidence to support the conspiracy theories, including claims that Tom has a hidden camera in his eyes or utters menacing phrases[8]. These unsubstantiated rumors have been circulating online, but there is no concrete proof to validate them.
The creepypasta "Tom's Alive" details a fake story where a glitch causes Tom to become self-aware and threaten the user[9]. These scary stories about Tom are created for entertainment and are not reflective of the actual game. Similar to the camera hoax, there are no documented instances of Tom uttering threatening phrases such as, "I know you, kid," or "I'm coming for you"[citation needed].
A 2020 study cited in an article by Hacked found that My Talking Tom 2 shares a device's Advertising ID and other metadata with third parties[10]
