About the Game

Overview

You are a former hitman. You've escaped the crime family and now run a humble ramen stand.

To convince the assassin sent to bring you back—your old partner—you must serve her a bowl so perfect that it leaves no room for doubt.

Earn money to upgrade your skills and toppings, and serve even more powerful bowls of ramen.
An immersive yet casual strategic card game experience.

Gameplay

A simple game about plating toppings on your ramen.

Each run alternates between serving ramen at your stall and preparing for the next day, aiming to create the ultimate bowl.

Each topping card carries effects tied to three attributes: Trendy, Filling and Refined.

By combining them with coroutines (skills) you install, you can serve even more exquisite bowls of ramen.

By serving customers, swapping toppings, and upgrading your coroutines, you’ll create the ultimate bowl.

If you fail to satisfy the gourmet customer who appears at the end of each stage, your run ends immediately.
