I came across this game while picking tomatoes from my tiny garden. It was fun to see a rat biting a tomato in a Sokoban-style game… wait—was it a tomato? An apple? Heck, who knows… I just wanted to flex that I’m capable of growing some healthy tomatoes all by myself. This tiny garden is my personal paradise.

I love tomatoes.

But I must confess—this passion of mine was acquired and inspired by… Gianina. See, life is always packed with the entropy of love and destruction. You build an empire of greatness only for it to be destroyed in seconds. You love, just to be rewarded with ruin.
Gianina was the kind of woman you never forget… I met her at the green market downtown; she sells tomatoes—the best ones—red and steamy from the sun.

As a man of lust and dedication, I wanted to meet her. So I pretended to like tomatoes, just so I could buy those little devils.
Why devils? Well… I’m allergic to tomatoes.

Week after week, I bought those red problems while making her smile and giggle. Until the day I came with a special tomato—one I grew myself. On day one, I had thrown a single tomato seed into my garden. Little did I know it would eventually grow into a plant. That was my shot. My destiny.

I gave her my tomato… and I was rewarded with a kiss.
The kiss I had been waiting for.
The kiss that changed everything.
The kiss that sent me to the hospital…
Because she tasted like tomato.

With a taste of her lips, I’m on a ride.
“You're toxic, I'm slippin' under! Toxic!!” —I yelled from the ambulance.
“With a taste of a poison paradise…” —she whispered in my ear.
“I’m addicted to you, don’t you know that you’re toxic?” —I whispered back.

Now we’re married. Two kids. Living in a tomato paradise. 🍅
