How it feels

A chaotic, fast-paced action roguelike where you slash and dodge through hordes of hostile kitchen staff in retro pixel art.

What players say

Players enjoy a cooking-themed roguelike where upgrades can quickly turn you into an overpowered bullet hose. The boss mechanics feel distinct, and the ability to tweak difficulty per run adds replay value. Some note the game is short, with one saying updates have stalled. Reviews are positive despite this.
