Captain Tomaday

Captain Tomaday is an arcade shooter starring a mutated tomato who sets out to stop evil eggplant aliens. The game features five levels filled with enemies arriving in varied waves.

Its distinctive combat system gives Tomaday two independently controlled fists: the A button fires the left fist, while the B button fires the right. Both can be fired together or separately. Using one fist repeatedly causes the other to grow in size and power, eventually transforming it into a heavy 1-ton weight that deals increased damage. Fists return after hitting an enemy, creating a risk-and-reward choice between close-range attacks and safer long-distance firing.
