How to play Meal Mayhem
There is very little to learn before your first run. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Meal Mayhem does not — it is playable from the first second. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
