Lunch War!

Picture the archetypal high school cafeteria scenario. The lunch lady drops a slab of questionable meat onto your plastic tray. You wrinkle your nose. She adjusts her hair net and points you down the line to the next cook; he’s armed with a flat expression and an ice cream scooper full of mashed potatoes.

The Automatic Gentlemen, developer of the new iOS shoot ‘em up Lunch War!, plans to shake up this tired formula. Meet Augusta Gudenov, a kind-hearted lunch lady. When the students demand chocolate treats, she throws apples at them instead because she cares about their health.

Check out the launch trailer below to see gameplay inspired by the old Atari greats. Lunch War! is available now on iTunes, and it’s coming to Android devices “as soon as possible."
