Quirky, level-based puzzle, where you must cook up the creepiest dishes imaginable using ingredients straight from your worst nightmares.
The game takes you through 18 progressively harder stages, and while that may sound a bit small, there’s a twist: you’ll need to earn at least two out of three stars in each level to unlock the next stage on the path. It's a linear journey with only a few diversions, like an infinity mode and one bonus stage.
Each level tasks you with creating strange, unsettling meals using bizarre ingredients like bones, brains, eyeballs, and other spooky fare. The catch is that each dish requires several distinct ingredients, and you'll need to collect enough of them to complete your meal. There are around 10 dishes overall, and those with more “exotic” ingredients will make stages a lot harder to beat.
The mechanics are straightforward. Your job is to drop random ingredients into a bowl and match them with similar ingredients already in the bowl, making them disappear and adding them to your stash. The real twist lies in the 20-drop limit per level.
You begin with a few ingredients already in the bowl, and after 10 drops, a fresh batch of ingredients will drop in to help you. But if you don’t manage to grab the right number of ingredients before running out of drops, you’ll have to sacrifice some of your health for the next round.
The goal is to cook the dish and earn a star, but to earn all three stars, you must complete three successful runs per stage. You also have to choose between two potential meals, but you only need enough ingredients for one. Although the bowl opens for a short time after each round to remove excess ingredients, you might get lucky and have them stay inside. This will greatly help you in the next round.
As you progress, the game becomes progressively harder. New, challenging ingredients that take up more space appear, and if they disrupt your carefully laid plans, it can be tough to recover. These tricky ingredients require a bit of luck, as you can only remove them through random drops, but you'll also have access to three abilities to help you out. However, these abilities come at a price—bones, which are earned during your drops. The better the ability, the more expensive it is to use.
The most expensive ability is a laser that clears an entire line of ingredients, perfect for eliminating tough-to-remove ones. The bomb, while cheaper, is often less effective, and the ingredient changer ability is cheap but invaluable, as it lets you swap out an ingredient you're about to drop for a more useful one. It’s often a good strategy to use a few bones for this ability to ensure you have just the right ingredient to complete a dish, especially when you’re one ingredient short. The laser becomes especially critical in later stages, where certain ingredients are nearly impossible to remove without it.
The later levels feel like true puzzles, forcing you to strategize and save your bones for the right moments. Each new stage adds something interesting, like a new ingredient that only shows up among drops in later stages. You'll also encounter larger ingredients that break apart into smaller ones, adding another layer of complexity as you figure out how to use your resources wisely.
