About the Game

Players can collect kitchen cookware and install them into their kitchen, once that is done, players can collect ingredients and cook them in their installed cookware. Each ingredient and cooking way adds a special ability to your final dish that you can throw at yourself or your enemies.

To join a game, one player must press the host button, and the other player has to enter the given room code to join the host's lobby. 

Once joined, the players can collect ingredients and/or cookware that falls from the top  of their screen. Once they collect any cookware they can then approach their kitchen and hold 'E' to install it into their kitchen. Once the players gather an ingredient, they can cook it using the cookware they have installed. Each ingredient gives the players unique powers. For example: 

Chillies deal fire damage each second that goes through the enemy's defence.

Tomatoes heal the player they hit.

Mushrooms boost the strength of the player they hit.

There are lots of different maps that players can combat in, which include moving and rotating platforms.
