Tomato Thrower FAQ

This page covers the most common questions players ask before or after a run, from score saving to sound settings and cookies.

Tomato Thrower is framed as a cartoon arcade target game. The emphasis is on reflex play, score chasing, and a playful visual tone.

What kind of game is this?

Tomato Thrower is a browser-based cartoon arcade game where you throw projectiles at moving targets, build combos, collect power-ups, and try to climb daily or all-time scoreboards.

Is Tomato Thrower free to play?

Yes. The game is free to play in a browser with no account required.

How do leaderboards work?

When a round ends, you can save your result with a display name. Daily boards track the strongest scores for the current day, while all-time boards keep the best long-running results.

Are scores moderated or validated?

Yes. Score submissions go through server-side checks including round-token validation, rate limiting, duplicate protection, and basic plausibility rules. Display names can also be rejected or removed if they are abusive, misleading, or obviously automated.

Is my progress stored?

The game stores lightweight local preferences such as your chosen player name, consent choice, and sound setting. There is no account system and no permanent cloud save for personal progress beyond the scores you explicitly submit to the leaderboard.

Can I disable sound?

Yes. There is a sound toggle in the game settings panel, so you can mute effects before or during play.

Are ads, cookies, or analytics used?

The site can use consent-controlled analytics and may use ad technology in the future if advertising is enabled. The exact handling is described in the Privacy Policy.

Why might a score fail to save?

The most common reasons are expired round sessions, temporary service issues, rejected names, duplicate submissions, or rate limits triggered by too many rapid requests.

Can I play on mobile?

Yes. Tomato Thrower supports tap controls on mobile, and short rounds work especially well on phones.
