The back of the box reads "Perhaps it was a form of protest against bottled Ketchup, or maybe they were provoked by acid rain." 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.

It is believed that title and the concept of this game are inspired by the cult movie Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
