What players say

Players describe it as a chaotic cooking game similar to Overcooked but with a nutritional twist: you combine ingredients to meet carb, fat, and protein targets rather than following recipes. The short rounds and simple controls work well for local multiplayer, and the story mode is surprisingly fleshed out. A few reviews mention learning real food facts while playing.
