About the Game

Get your apron ready and your wits sharp! In a world that turned into cubes overnight, your mission is to rescue the essence of Minas Gerais gastronomy.

The Defragmentation changed everything...

Chef Buba was always known as an adventurous master cook, exploring the mountains of Minas Gerais for the perfect ingredient. But when a mysterious event known as "The Defragmentation" rearranged the world into cubic forms, her precious recipe book was scattered to the winds. Now, she needs your help to navigate 3D dioramas and recover every lost culinary secret.

Explore Living Dioramas

Inspired by puzzle and exploration classics, Chef Buba features stages in a 3D diorama format.

  • 360° View: Use the mouse to rotate the scenario and observe every angle. What looks like a dead end might hide a secret passage when seen from the other side!

  • Varied Environments: Venture through Forests, Gardens, Mines, and Caves, all rebuilt in a vibrant and charismatic cartoon aesthetic.

Puzzles with a Taste for Adventure

Mixing classic Sokoban logic with tactical exploration, you must master the environment to move forward:

  • Total Interaction: Activate levers to move platforms, turn giant cranks, and push blocks to clear the way.

  • Precision Challenges: Climb ladders, lie down to rest, or use cannons to blast through obstacles.

  • Beware the Dangers: Avoid spike traps, dangerous falls, and enemies patrolling the new cubic domains.

Key Features:

  • 40 Challenging Stages: A complete journey across 4 thematic worlds.

  • Culinary Collection: Besides the "Lost Recipe," look for 3 special ingredients hidden in each stage to reach 100% completion!

  • Accessibility First: High contrast settings, font resizing, and customizable controls so everyone can enjoy the adventure.

  • An Ode to Minas Gerais: Discover real recipes and ingredients inspired by Minas Gerais cuisine in a playful and comedic way.

Hungry for something new? Join Buba's journey and prove that not even a system glitch can erase the flavor of a great recipe!
