Chakudon: Ramen Slurp Rush

🍜 One bowl. Sixty seconds. How many calories can you take down?

Chakudon is a one-thumb arcade game about the Japanese ramen challenge: a huge bowl of thick noodles, and the will to finish it. Swipe up to slurp, keep your combo alive, and see how high your kcal score climbs.

■ The only control is an up-swipe
- Swipe up on the bowl to slurp a mouthful
- Land the timing gauge near the center for "Just!", dead center for "Perfect!"
- Chain hits to raise your combo multiplier and your score jumps
- One run lasts about 60 seconds, so it fits any spare minute

■ Three meters pulling against each other
- Time: always draining. A miss costs you one second
- Fullness: rises as you eat. Hit 100 and you give up
- Bowl: empty it and a refill arrives. The bowls never stop coming

■ Fullness is your enemy and your weapon
Past 50 fullness you enter the danger zone, where your calorie multiplier goes up. Playing it safe is slow. The high scores belong to players who eat right up to the edge.

- Oolong tea: brings fullness down
- Garlic: lowers fullness and adds calories
- Chili pepper: costs fullness but fires up a Spicy Boost multiplier

■ The Flip
Build a combo and your chance arrives. Trace a circle around the bowl with your finger to flip it, reset your fullness, and enter Bonus Time at double score. Finish the circle fast enough and Bonus Time runs even longer.

■ The final stretch
Inside the last 15 seconds every point is worth 1.4x. Save your multipliers, then unload them at the end. Nothing else in the game feels quite like it.

■ Three tickets, three difficulties
- Small: for practice. Start here
- Large: the standard run. Recommended
- Double Pork: for veterans, with the highest calorie multiplier (needs one Premium Meal Ticket)

Harder tickets pay more calories. Your best score, longest combo and most bowls are tracked per difficulty.

■ Premium Meal Ticket
The top difficulty needs one ticket. You get one free every day, and you can watch a video ad for an extra one. Small and Large are always open, no ticket needed.

■ Plenty to chase

- Lifetime calories, bowls finished and your daily play streak
- Your calories converted into "climbs up Mount Fuji" and "marathons run"
- Reach the top rank
- Share a score card image with #Chakudon
