Play Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes Online

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes on GB came out in 1992 for the Game Boy, published by THQ. It was part of that wave of games based on movies and cartoons, a common sight on the handheld at the time. You don't see many people talking about it now, but it was there on the shelf next to the bigger names.

You control a kid named Chad, who has to save the city from the tomato invasion. The game is a side scrolling platformer where you move from left to right, jumping on platforms and avoiding enemies. Your main weapon is a slingshot; you pick up different types of ammo to shoot the mutant tomatoes. The levels are linear, but you often have to find specific items or keys to progress, which adds a bit of exploration. The pacing is quick, and the difficulty can be unforgiving with precise jumps and aggressive enemies. Playing it feels like a straightforward, sometimes frustrating race against a ridiculous threat.
