Lava Chef: You're Cooked!
It's always been your dream to win the world-class cooking contest SuperChef International, bringing a taste of your local Volcanic cuisine to the big screen. To win over the judges, you'll have to use nothing but the finest ingredients and cook your authentic recipes from the heart. That means gathering your ingredients fresh from the local volcano for every dish — which means you'll only have 30 seconds to grab everything you need before the cavern fills with lava. Gather the ingredients quickly and cook your dishes to perfection to impress the judges in three rounds of intense competition, and you'll become the Lava Chef!

Such a cute game! I loved all tje little lava puns in thr dishes and ingredients 💛
Thank you so much! Designing the ingredients and dishes was definitely the most fun part :D
It doesn't run for me, unfortunately.
Is the issue related to the play button on the menu screen, or does the game itself simply not load? And if you don't mind us asking, what browser and system are you playing on? The game seems to be working for most players, so we'll definitely look into what might be causing that!
They gave this cat a chef's hat, mustache, and a tie. Incredible stuff.
Real talk though, this game's so cute, atmosphere's excellent. Nice cooking, chefs.
Of course we did. How else will you know he's a chef?!
Real talk, thank you so much, this is super sweet <3
Great game! really like the narrative of the game and the unique way you tackled the theme, well worth the wait!
Thank you so much for waiting and checking out the game! I’m so glad you liked it :D
was really looking forward to playing :(, will come back if they play button gets fixed
Thanks for letting us know! It seems to be an issue with detecting clicks when the game is displayed on certain screen sizes. We're working on it now, and I'll let you know when it's fixed!
great!
I just uploaded an updated version -- let me know if it works or not! Thanks!!
(Some of the UI elements might still scale a little weirdly on your screen size -- I'll look into fixing that -- but hopefully you should be able to play the game now!)
