What is Creep Kitchen?

Creep Kitchen is a free cooking game made entirely of twikoi's drawings. Her creatures come into your little restaurant, sit at the counter and order dishes made of her fruit, stars, bones and sweets.

You tap what you want done and your cook, one of her creatures, walks over and does it: grab food from a crate, chop it, cook it in a pot or bake it, put it on a plate and serve it before the customer runs out of patience.

Fast service earns bigger tips. Tips are ink coins, play money for kitchen upgrades. A friend can join online and run a second cook in the same kitchen.

How to play

Look at the bubble over each customer: it shows the dish they want. The ring around it is their patience.
Tap a crate to grab food, the chopping board to chop it, the plates to plate it, then the customer to serve it.
Queue up to 4 jobs: tap several things in a row and your cook does them in order.
Pots and ovens cook by themselves. Fill them, then bring an empty plate when they say Ready, before they burn.
Build dishes with two or three parts on one plate: a plate can wait on a counter while you make the next part. Tap 📖 for the recipes.
Shoo the ants and wash the dirty plates in the bakery and the palace.

Features

Four restaurants: the Strawberry Stand, the Ink Soup Kitchen, the Midnight Bakery and the Candy Palace, each with its own dishes and kitchen.
30 shifts with up to 3 stars each, VIP visits by her book originals, and a rush hour at the end of every shift.
22 dishes made of her drawings: berry bowls, star soup, bone broth, moon pies, sweet sundaes and more.
Kitchen upgrades bought with ink coins (play money): quick shoes, a sharp knife, thick pots, a hot oven, cosy stools, a tip jar and a plate rack.
A regulars album: every creature you serve three times becomes a regular, and each one has a favourite dish.
Online co-op for two: each phone runs one cook in the same kitchen.

Modes, levels and unlocks

Shifts: Thirty shifts across four restaurants. Earn stars to open the next shift and the next restaurant.
Daily special: The same shift for everyone today, with upgrades switched off. Earn a medal and share your result.
Cook with a friend: Make a room, share the 4-letter code, and run the kitchen together, one cook on each phone.

Tips

Tap several jobs in a row. Your cook remembers four, so you can plan the next dish while the last one cooks.
Start the slow things first: fill a pot or the oven, then chop and plate the quick dishes while it cooks.
Keep an empty plate ready on a counter near the pots.
Customers who are almost out of patience shake and show a red ring: serve them first.
Serving quickly one after another builds a combo for bonus coins.

Who will like Creep Kitchen?

Creep Kitchen is for anyone who likes busy, cheerful games: a shift takes two or three minutes and every second counts.

It is also for fans of twikoi's art: all of her creatures come to eat, and the regulars album links to each one on her site.

Her art in this game

Every customer, cook, ingredient, ant, potted plant and picture is one of her drawings, shown just as she drew it: only moved, turned, scaled, flipped or faded. Chopped food is three small copies of the same drawing, never cut apart. The plates, bowls, pots, ovens, counters, walls and floors are plain shapes and colours.
