Captain Tomaday

About

You play as a sentient tomato armed with fists and a flair for chaos in this fast scrolling shooter. The game tasks you with mashing through waves of enemies using a mix of melee attacks and projectile weapons. Each level lets you switch to oddball characters like a squid or a chef, each with their own quirks and abilities. The controls are tight and the action never slows, making it a pick up and play kind of game. This 1999 release has built a cult following over the years with players praising its goofy charm and replay value. Community sites list it as a hidden gem with a 8.2 out of 10 average score. The two player co op mode and unlockable characters add extra incentive to keep coming back. While the graphics feel dated by modern standards the energy and humor hold up well for fans of over the top arcade action.
