You must use special attacks to push other food-based characters off the table, using food related paraphernalia. All of this whilst dodging endemic culinary enemies, as well as making use of power-ups and setting fiendish traps to foil opponents. There are tons of colourful and dynamic stages packed full of surprises, which will make you laugh, scream, and want to play again and again.

Lunch A Palooza is available now on Steam Early Access (£9.99/$12.99/ €12.99), and will remain so for 6 to 8 months.

Roger Hulley, Manager Director of Alternative Software Ltd., commented, “Seashell Studio shows superb skill in what they’ve created so far with Lunch A Palooza. We’re excited to share the next phase of the game with the community, and hope they have as much fun playing as we all have in creating the game to-date. Now I’m hungry.”

• Game Modes
  • Main Course (Free-for-All): The standard game mode, all versus all. Every player starts with 5 lives and tries to knock the rest of the players off the table. The last player standing wins.
  • Royal Buffet (Different food types): The same conditions from “Main Course” apply, but when you get thrown off you’re brought back to life as another character. There is an unlimited amount of lives available, but limited time for every match. The player with the least falls wins. If two players have the same amount of lives the result will be drawn as a tie.
  • Side Dish (Team-mates): 2 vs 2 team battle. Every team will have 5 lives shared by both players, so you’ll need to work together to win!
  • King of the Cloche (King of the hill): Every player will seek to control the cloche of desserts that will be spawning in different parts of the stage. If two or more players stand on the cloche at the same time, the timer will stop, and only if one player remains the timer will continue. The cloche changes location every 30 seconds. In order to win the match, a player needs to control the cloche until the percentage hits 100.
