Description
About This Game
Your shop is broke. Your pan is not.
You opened a tiny shop on borrowed money. The dream: get big enough for the critics of THE GRAND HALL. The first payment is due in three days, and all you have is one frying pan and a really good sense of rhythm.
Cook on the beat
Drag the pan. Click and drag it over the conveyor and it grabs the food. It flips itself on every beat, and the burner under it fires to the music.
Pull it at the right moment. Every beat cooks a little more: RAW → WARM → COOKED → GOLDEN → CRISPY → BURNT. Customers want it exactly their way. Listen to the music and you'll feel when to take it off the heat.
Serve and chain. Touch the pass to serve. Back-to-back orders make a CHAIN: a DOUBLE pays more, and a TRIPLE starts GOLDEN TIME.
GOLDEN TIME
One golden ingredient, and everyone wants it: prices x3, tips x2, FEVER stacking up, the music adding layers and the screen on fire. Keep landing TRIPLEs and it just keeps going. The pan has entered the chat.
From one pan to a machine kitchen
More pans. A SECOND PAN, then a THIRD — drag each one on its own and cook on three burners at once.
Hire the kitchen. KITCHEN CREW tosses ordered food into your pans, RUNNERS carry it out, AUTO COOK fills empty pans, and FLYING PLATES sail to the right customer by themselves.
MACHINE KITCHEN. FULL AUTO. Late in the run, GOLDEN TIME turns your shop into a self-cooking storm and the numbers go from dollars to billions.
A 68-node skill tree of burners, windows, belts, chains and automation — build the kitchen your way.
Debts must be paid
Four shops, two debts each. THE OLD SHOP → NEIGHBORHOOD DINER → NIGHT MARKET HOTSPOT → FLAME HOUSE. Pay a debt to keep the shop; pay the second one to move up. Pay early for a market coupon — but the next debt comes sooner.
Then the GRAND TASTING in THE GRAND HALL: fill the whole platter before the critics put their pens down. After the crown, endless debts keep coming.
Your pan levels up. Tiny → Classic → Cast Iron → Wok → Copper → Golden. More room, better heat, and every sale multiplied. Then POLISH it.
A daily market and a bank. Gear, cards, risky curse cards that pay YOU, and one loan per debt when things get tight.
Go bankrupt. Come back stronger.
Can't pay? The shop closes — and you earn Star Coins. Spend them on permanent upgrades (a family loan, a hand-me-down pan, a rich friend who covers one debt, the KITCHEN MAGNET) and unlock the SUSHI BAR and the SPACE KITCHEN. Every new run climbs faster.
Absurd, warm, a little unhinged
Ingredients with their own "GET!!" cut-ins. "MUSHROOM GET!! Fungi with ambition." "Potato: Has eyes. Is watching."
Bosses that ruin your day: BREAKFAST RUSH, THE CRITIC, the FIRE INSPECTOR and LAST CALL.
Customers with opinions. "Is the chef a pan? Respect." "Extra crispy. Like my soul." "Marry me. The pan, not you."
A boss who only texts. "I renamed the conveyor 'Steve'. Steve deserves respect."
Achievements that pay out Star Coins.
