The Story

In the galaxy Foodomina, where food-themed planets are populated by civilisations of personified food people- you play as Takoyaki and Tempura; two childhood friends and cosmos travellers. Traverse a galaxy filled with whimsy, glitter, and flavour, make food friends, and battle Mould People!

A galactic wide Mould invasion is underway. Takoyaki and Tempura must travel the galaxy, to unite the Food Planets and eradicate Mould Kind... despite knowing that Mould people were once food themselves. However, along their journey, they discover the unthinkable- a chance that Mould can be cured, shattering everything they believed. Will they stay committed to their mission of saving Foodomina or risk everything for another way?
