A downloadable game for Windows


Welcome to the kitchen chaos of "COOK n' RUN"! In this single-player, first-person cooking game, you'll embark on a cell-shaded culinary journey that combines the hilarity of physics simulation with the challenge of time management.


  • Fast-Paced Gameplay: Race against the clock as you cook up a storm in the kitchen, preparing diverse dishes with physics-based interactions. From burgers, onion rings, fries, fresh sandwiches and more, we've got all the classic diner staples! Grab, chop, cook, and assemble ingredients with precision to complete orders. Players must manage their stamina bar, which drains from throwing objects, sprinting, and jumping to avoid hazards.
  • Randomized Recipes: Every order you receive is randomly generated, meaning no two orders will be the same! Well, they might be the same, that's the nature of randomness, but hey you get the idea.
  • Delivery Dash: Once your cooking is done, it's time to run! Navigate obstacle-filled levels and deliver your delicious creations to hungry customers, but watch out for hazards that could ruin your dishes.
  • Shop and Upgrade: Earn tips from successful deliveries and use them to upgrade your character with powerful, quirky, and even chaotic enhancements. Purchase permanent upgrades in the Hub like a stronger throw, increased jump height, faster sprinting speed, and more! You may even earn enough to purchase the rare "golden cutlery" upgrade.
  • Polished First Person Controls: Refined, smooth, and simple controls allow you to navigate varied kitchen environments with ease. From jumping to crouching and grabbing to throwing the controls offer a "easy to learn, hard to master" style of 
    movement that will keep you coming back for more!
  • Varied Levels: Cook and run your way through four unique levels all with their own twist! "Tic-Tac-Toe" requires you to plate up order while jumping across a set of 3x3 platforms suspended in the sky, while in "Hibachi Style" you are separated from your tables by a large pit and must throw completed order to deliver them. After each level you return to the Diner, which serves as a calm hub to take a load off and relax in between hectic shifts in the kitchen.
  • Dynamic HUD: Confused about controls? Worry not, as our patented "R.U.N-H.U.D" (Really-Uniquely-Named-Heads-Up-Display) has you covered! This contextual interface dynamically updates depending on what actions you can take, providing a helpful list of controls and information about your situation. Looking at an object will update your HUD accordingly and make sure you never stray too far from the joy of the kitchen.
