I'm not usually one for indie games, so when my buddy asked if I wanted to play this game where you run around a kitchen and cook food, I wasn't stoked. It didn't take long for me to become completely hooked. The basic premise of the game is literally cooking food and filling orders; you chop vegetables, cook meat, prepare meals, and wash dishes, and you do it all in a kitchen that often changes and moves around and sometimes is trying to kill you. And it's brilliant the whole way through.
The beauty of the game is how they handle multiplayer. You can play the game solo if you want, but I feel like it would only be half as fun. Teaming up is how you really get the most out of this game. You can go faster with more people, but the points you need to pass goes up as you add more cooks in the kitchen. The great thing is that not only are you doing different tasks than your buddies, but you're also forced to communicate with each other, so it's really a true co-op experience. At the beginning, it's easy to simply choose your tasks and stick to them throughout the level, but later on in the game, the kitchen starts moving around, and you need to switch roles several times during each level. If you're not communicating, you'll have a tough time succeeding.
It's cute, it's challenging, it's fun. This is literally one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played.
