=========

Welcome to a high-pressure kitchen where precision and timing are everything. Your job? Cook meats to perfection, manage fire levels, and meet the head chef's demanding orders under intense pressure.

But be careful—too many mistakes will push the head chef to their limit. Stay focused, or the stress might bring your shift to an early end!

How to Play & Tips:

  • Cooking Accuracy – The kitchen allows a 10% tolerance above or below the requested doneness. For example, if the order asks for 50% doneness, you can deliver food between 40% and 60%.
  • Checking Orders – Tap the tablet at the bottom of the screen to see the required ingredients.
  • Getting Ingredients – Grab food from the ingredient container, located above the stove near the top-left of the screen, and place it on the stove to start cooking.
  • Managing the Stove – Keep an eye on fire levels to prevent undercooked or burnt food.
  • Handling Rotten Food – Rotten ingredients may appear! Trash them fast, but remember—the bin can only hold 5 items at a time.
  • Prioritization is Key – Always focus on what needs attention first to avoid falling behind.
  • Stay Cool Under Pressure – Mistakes happen, but keeping your composure can save your shift.

Stress Level:

Every mistake you make increases the Head Chef’s stress level. If it reaches the maximum, you’ll get kick out of the kitchen! But don’t worry—delivering the correct food will reduce stress and keep the kitchen running smoothly. Stay sharp, and don’t let the pressure break you!

Remember to check your meat, keep your cool, and everything will be fine.
Nothing can go wrong… right?

It's a good challenging game, the randomness like spoiled food, lights off, and inverted mouse movement makes it tough. 

Probably tune it down a bit by randomizing the protein count (meat, fish, scallop) and not fixed. Also ease in on the difficulty for the beginning for example only making it 1 type of food for the order or less protein.

Some tutorial/guide is needed, because for the first minute I don't know where the order is until I pressed randomly at the screen and found out that the bottom white tablet shows the order list.

Thanks for the response!
Noted, if we have time we will tune down the difficulty and add some kind of guide to play it
