The back of the box reads "Perhaps it was a form of protest against bottled Ketchup, or maybe they were provoked by acid rain."[5] However they came into awareness, tomatoes have become killers that cannot be destroyed by mankind's weapons. The tomatoes can only be trapped by building a brick wall.[4]
It is believed that title and the concept of this game are inspired by the cult movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.[6]
