🎮 What is Let's Cook?

Let's Cook! is a frantic, co-operative top-down cooking game where two players must work together in a chaotic kitchen to prep ingredients, assemble dishes, and serve orders — all against the clock.

No talking. No mercy. Only salads.

Inspired by the legendary Overcooked series, rebuilt from scratch using web technologies.

The only recipe (for now):

Every order has a countdown timer. Serve fast for bonus points. Let orders expire and cry.
