About this game
Critter Kitchen puts you in charge of a restaurant staffed entirely by animal chefs, each with their own speed and carrying capacity, and sends them racing through the city for ingredients before your rivals grab them first. You secretly plan all three chefs' routes at once, weighing fast-but-limited runners against slow-but-loaded haulers, then watch the plan collide with everyone else's the moment it's revealed. Weekly challenges reward specific ingredient combos, rumors hint at what the celebrity critic secretly wants, and after seven rounds you have to plate one final dish that decides everything. It's programmed movement dressed up as competitive cooking, clever and a little cutthroat.
