Two pots. Three pastas. Make every second delicious.
How to play & scoring
Select a ticket, accept it in an empty pot, choose pasta and start cooking. Spaghetti is ideal at 6–8 seconds, penne at 8–10, farfalle at 10–12. Lift during its green window, choose the requested sauce, then serve. The two pots run independently; tickets never expire. Lifting locks the doneness.
Correct pasta + sauce + al dente = 100 points. Each consecutive correct dish adds 10 bonus points, up to +50. Wrong dishes and discards earn 0 and reset the streak. At 90 seconds, service closes immediately, including unfinished pots.
Tab between controls; Enter or Space activates a button. Holding a key never repeats an action. Leaving the window pauses everything; resume explicitly. Restart clears the current shift.
Read the ticket, watch both pots
Accept an order into an empty pot, select its pasta and start cooking. Spaghetti, penne and farfalle have different timing windows. Lift in the green zone to lock doneness, then choose tomato or pesto and serve. Both pots keep cooking while you work.
A short service, a careful streak
Match pasta, doneness and sauce for 100 points plus a streak bonus of up to 50. A wrong dish or discard breaks the streak. Orders stay until served or discarded. Service ends at 90 seconds; unfinished dishes do not score. Pause freezes all clocks, and leaving the window pauses automatically. These accelerated game timings are not cooking instructions.
