WHAT EXACTLY WILL YOU DO HERE IN 5 MINUTES?

Each match in Overcooked takes exactly 4 minutes. Excluding fails and having to restart the level, you should be able to complete a single stage in 5 minutes. And how many orders you'll fail during that time, God only knows.

Something for the fans of spending five minutes with their significant other on cute co-op... ending with yelling on at each other if the game doesn't go the right way. Overcooked isn't a title with captivating graphics, but has something that is not always there – simple and addictive gameplay. The idea for the gameplay is to cooperate in preparing ordered meals but doing it in a rather strict timeframe.

Even the kitchen is divided into two parts... installed on trailers of parallel moving trucks. If cooking isn't your favorite subject, there are similar games but with different themes. For example, in Polish Tools Up you engage in renovations while Moving Out allows you to live the life of a mover. All 3 games offer a similar dose of concentrated adrenaline.
