Improved handling of d-pad inputs for certain controllers and prep situations where it would register as incorrect.

The narrative bits that pop up between or even during levels are also a great motivator for the player to keep coming back to the game to explore more of its story. The game follows the journey of a young and passionate cook who decides to take a leap of faith in her life and move with her partner to another city to enter a major cooking competition and find a job at a restaurant run by a renowned chef, her role-model in the art of cooking. All characters and dialogues are also wonderfully voice-acted.

The levels have also been overhauled so that there’s pelo more need to grind the same level over and over again to advance—simply complete a level to advance the game, and every single level advances the story!

You’ll have to alternate simple key presses with longer ones, simultaneously press a specific combination of keys, remember your last key pressed, and twist your brain for those annoying “NOT” modifiers that are randomly added to some of the keys in the ingredient sequence (such as “NOT arrow down”).
