Description
Adult Swim Games returns with another original and entertaining iPhone title, Bring Me Sandwiches!!, developed in collaboration with Grumpyface Studios, the creators of Castle Doombad and Super Mole Escape. The game introduces players to Invader Gourmo, a threatening extraterrestrial who intends to destroy Earth unless a very unusual demand is met: bring him sandwiches.
Gameplay Overview
Players assume the role of Jimmy Nugget, an ordinary fast food worker, who has been tasked by the President of the United States with saving the planet. The core gameplay revolves around creating sandwiches for Gourmo using a limitless range of ingredients. From conventional meats to bizarre items like trash or even cats, anything that can fit between two slices of bread is fair game. The game’s charm lies in this freedom, allowing players to experiment and discover increasingly outlandish combinations.
The game features intuitive touch-based controls, enabling players to run, jump, and navigate through dozens of levels set across multiple countries and even otherworldly planets. Players can enhance their sandwiches with alien technology, adding additional layers of strategy and creativity to the experience. A crucial challenge is to avoid dropping sandwiches, as each mishap can impact progress and overall performance.
