How to play Pac-Chef
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Pac-Chef is the kind of game that fits into a gap between other things. Two minutes is a real session, and so is an hour. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
