Step across burger ingredients to drop them down toward the plate. Chain drops by stacking ingredients onto each other for combo bonuses. Beat the timer.
Three horizontal platforms are joined by two ladders. Burger ingredients (each three cells wide) sit on the platforms. Swipe to move the chef: left/right walks along the current platform, up/down climbs a ladder when you're standing in a ladder column between two platforms.
When the chef walks across all three cells of an ingredient, the ingredient drops one platform down. If it lands on another ingredient, that one immediately drops too — and so on, chaining all the way to the plate at the bottom. A chain of N drops in one event scores 50·N² points instead of 50·N, so setting up vertical stacks pays huge.
Deliver every ingredient to the plate to clear the level. Each level adds an extra ingredient and a more scattered layout. You start with sixty seconds; each clear adds thirty more. When the clock hits zero the run ends.
Read the column overlaps before you start stepping. The level generator biases toward aligning ingredients on the same columns so single chains can sweep the whole board — find that alignment first. Look at all three platforms and ask: if I drop the top ingredient, will it land on the middle one? If the middle drops, will it land on the bottom? When the answer is yes for both, one careful chef trip across the top ingredient scores you 50·9 = 450 in a single chain instead of three 50s walked out separately.
Don't waste a step. Each cell of an ingredient only needs to be visited once — walking back and forth on a single cell wastes time. Plan the trip so the chef enters one end of an ingredient and exits the other, treading every cell exactly once before climbing down.
Ladders are your scheduler, not your scenery. You only have two ladders and you spend almost as much time on them as on the platforms. Choose which ladder to climb based on which ingredient you want to land on next — climbing down on the wrong side often means a long detour across a platform. The chef's path is the puzzle.
Don't fight a bad layout, sacrifice the clock. Some levels generate without a clean three-chain — the ingredients sit on offset columns. In those cases the optimal play isn't to engineer a fancy double — it's to walk each ingredient down separately and bank the 50s. Spending twenty seconds trying to force a chain that doesn't exist costs you the next level's time bonus.
