The Twitch Meter
Stress fills it. When it is full, something happens that nobody can control.
Co-op roguelite cooking chaos for 1 to 4 players
Everyone's losing it!
Cook, serve and rebuild your restaurant while chefs and customers alike have uncontrollable outbursts. Full Twitch Meter? Your chef throws, spins or sprints off. Turn chaos into combos.
Real in-game footage.
Six reasons your kitchen will never be calm
Chaos into combos
A flying tomato lands in the soup pot? Combo, bonus cash and confetti.
Guests with a temper
Angry guests get louder, pull out cake cannons and run to the press.
Build your kitchen machine
Wholesale market, workbench upgrades, conveyors, grabbers and a dishwasher.
Seasons and weather
Spring to winter, sun, rain, thunder, snow and late shifts into the night.
Made for streaming
Your Twitch chat joins as guests, votes on cards and triggers twitches.
How a day works
By day you cook. In the evening you rebuild. Runs are endless: how many days can you keep the doors open?
-
1Prep
Lay out ingredients and agree on who does what.
-
2Service
Guests arrive in groups, order, wait and pay at the table. Chop, cook, fry, bake, plate, serve, clear and wash up.
-
3Evening
No timer. Spend your earnings at the wholesale market next door and rearrange the kitchen together.
-
4Card vote
Every few days the team votes on a card: a new dish, a twitch modifier, an advantage or a nastier guest.
Plan the chaos. Make it your strength.
Good teams do not fight the twitches. They build around them. Put a counter where the throws land, keep the walkways open for pirouettes, and calm a stressed teammate down with a high five.

Guests with a temper
Unhappy guests get louder, and their noise makes your chefs twitch faster. From day 4 the angriest pull out a cake cannon or a stink bomb, and fire jumps from station to station. The critic pays well and forgives nothing. And whoever storms out runs straight to the newspaper stand across the street. Catch him before the bad headline ends your run.
Pure slapstick: no blood, nobody gets really hurt. Family mode swaps the flamethrower for a confetti cannon.

Some content was created with the help of generative AI tools and reviewed and edited by the developer: the main menu background, card illustrations and icons, parts of the key art, music loops and sound effects. All 3D models are hand-picked CC0 asset packs (KayKit, Kenney); gameplay, code and level design are made by the developer. The game does not generate any AI content while it is running.
