Lunch Box Hero is a 2D up-scrolling mobile platformer where you play as Brock, the sunglasses-wearing broccoli with attitude who moves around on a skateboard. Your objective is to clear each successive stage of junk-food enemies who have begun to take over. You are next in a long line of Lunch Box Heroes whose goal is to protect and promote the health-food way of life. To move around you tilt your device from side to side and tap the screen to jump from platform to platform, and your goal for each stage is to defeat every enemy, collect every item in the level, and reach the end all before your energy meter runs out.
In addition to defeating enemies, you also collect items throughout each stage that combine to give you some sort of bonus item, whether a healthy food recipe, a power-up you can use while playing, or a special item. The end goal of the game’s development is to expand the levels to include the whole world, allowing the player to explore cuisines of different cultures.
