Rush Hour Kitchen: Roguelike

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.
