Hunger Crunch is a charity game that takes the form of a game that can be played either online or through an app. As well as providing you with a source of entertainment, the game also serves a much bigger purpose. Hunger Crunch was created by Rice Bowls, a non-profit organization on a mission to feed orphaned children.
The app is free to download, but there are several in-app purchases available, such as power-ups and coins to make the mission of stomping the creatures that embody hunger that much easier. 100% of the in-game purchases go towards feeding kids in locations around the world where food is needed the most, like Haiti, Ethiopia, India, South Africa and Rwanda.
