Rush Hour Kitchen: Roguelike

About this app

A cooking roguelike deckbuilder you pay for once — no ads, no in-app purchases, no internet. Rush Hour Kitchen is a cozy roguelike deckbuilder about a plucky cat chef chasing one dream: a diner with their own name on the sign. To get there you have to pay back Mr. Shark — a patient, menacing loan shark — one payment day at a time. Every run is a fresh puzzle of ingredients, combos and tough choices. ■ How this cooking roguelike plays Ingredients arrive on your kitchen board each turn. When they land NEXT TO each other they cook into dishes worth real coins: Rice + Seaweed = Gimbap, Meat + Onion = Bulgogi, Flour + Cheese + Tomato = Pizza. Place them well, cook several dishes at once, and trigger a RUSH HOUR bonus that multiplies your earnings. Make enough to cover the rent before your cooks run out — or the diner gets seized. ■ Build a deck, build a strategy This is a deckbuilder at heart. After every cook a new delivery offers three ingredients — pick one, or reroll if you don't like them. Over a run you assemble a deck of 57 ingredients, customers and kitchen tools, each with its own synergy. A Chef's Knife boosts nearby fish and meat. A Fridge keeps fresh food from spoiling. Regulars tip you for every dish. A Food Critic pays triple. The combos are yours to discover — no two runs are the same. ■ Level up your diner (roguelike progression) Every payment lets you upgrade the diner: pick one of three facilities from 14 passive perks — Night Shift, Party Table, Walk-in Fridge, Michelin Guide and more. Different picks send each run down a different path — deep roguelike replayability. ■ Depth that rewards mastery • 21 recipes to learn, from Gimbap to Curry to Fish & Chips • 57 ingredients, customers and tools with layered synergies • A customer order board for bonus rewards • Freshness: fresh ingredients spoil if you sit on them too long • Rerolls to smooth out your luck • A real ending — pay off every coin and the diner is yours — then Endless mode ■ A premium game that respects you • Pay once — no ads, ever • No in-app purchases, no loot boxes, no energy timers • Fully offline — no account, no internet, no tracking • No gambling, no real money, no wagering — just cooking and clever placement • Dark mode, adjustable animation speed, haptics, 26 languages If you love cooking games, roguelike deckbuilders and card-based strategy puzzles, fire up the kitchen and cook your way out of debt.
