What conveyer belt sushi and tower defense games have in common

Last month I pointed to a fantastic "true stories" promotional video showing the curious inspiration for Hudson's iPhone tower defense game Elemental Monster TD [iTunes link], in which a low-poly company director Takahashi Meijin berated underlings for not being able to top the success of competitor Fieldrunners.

Now, the studio has created a brilliant second episode that genuinely makes you wonder why you never noticed the mechanical similarities between 'sushi-go-round' restaurants and the unceasing onslaught of tower defense enemies.

So sushi tower defence isn't an actual game? Aww.

Not YET, but if this isn't a call to action, I don't know what is.
