Mice and rats used to live together and share their products for cooking food but one day the rats decided to take most of the products to themselves. So now the poor mice need to save their products as they can’t waste the ones they have left. They started experimenting with different kinds of foods and  coming up with new diet cultures to enrich their gastronomic world and enjoy their daily nutrition intake. As they are now following some diets and principles of healthy eating they noticed how they started to gain strength from their new dishes and now have the chance to fight the rats back and take more products for their storage.

Help the mice to defeat as many rats as possible and reclaim their provisions! Choose your diet wisely:

  1.  Keto:
    Your task is to use more meat and fats to increase your strength, leaving the flour for other diets. Do more damage by cooking the right dishes! 
  2. Vegetarian: Your mission is to save animal-based products for other diets. By eating lots of vegetables and plant-based meals, you gain more physical health and can regenerate. Defeat the rats by lasting longer! 
  3. Lactose-free: Use lactose-free supplies to become more resilient and save other products for other diets. Keep holding your shield when the rats attack! (Currently, you can only play with the Keto diet.) 


Gameplay: At the start of the game, you receive 5 ingredient cards. Use these to cook dishes that suit your diet. The recipes list all the dishes you can cook, and by double-clicking on a card, you can find alternatives for ingredients. For example, if you can't use normal flour, double-click to get oat flour instead! 

How do you know if an ingredient is good for your diet? Drop a card on the rat: it becomes evil if the card is GOOD for you and happy if it is BAD for your diet. Each dish you cook gives you buffs or debuffs. Cook the right dishes for your diet and you'll be fine ;)

Despite a few initial difficulties, I understood the game relatively quickly. Once you realise how everything works, it's a lot of fun. You have a lot of replay value, it's challenging and the music fits perfectly with the overall feel of the game. The art style also fits the game perfectly.

The picture is my first real playthrough after I figured out the mechanics. Now a challenge to myself and anyone else who wants to try and beat this high score. Good luck and have fun!
