Cooking Tile

Cooking Tile is a highly addictive puzzle game that brilliantly blends a delicious kitchen theme with classic Mahjong-style Match-3 mechanics! You are presented with a massive board stacked with layered tiles featuring mouth-watering foods—from fresh veggies to delicate desserts. Your task is to click on these tiles to drop them into the holding tray at the bottom of the screen. The moment you get three identical tiles in the tray, they instantly match and disappear, helping you clear the board layer by layer.

The game boasts hundreds of meticulously designed levels divided into various culinary chapters. As you rank up, you'll unlock increasingly complex kitchen challenges. With its charming, vibrant pixel-art style, incredibly easy-to-learn controls, and surprisingly deep tactical gameplay, Cooking Tile is the perfect brain-training puzzle game for players of all ages looking for a relaxing break.

Your main objective is to completely clear the board of all tiles! You do this by strategically picking tiles to move to your tray, aiming to create sets of three matching foods. Be careful—as levels progress, the layers of tiles become incredibly complex, and you must plan your moves carefully so your tray doesn't fill up with unmatched tiles!

🎮 Core Gameplay Rules

1. Tile Match Cafeing: The board is covered in various tiles depicting ingredients, sweets, and kitchenware. When you click a tile, it drops into your tray. You need to gather three identical tiles in the tray to make them vanish and score points. Don't worry about running out of pairs—the board always spawns exact multiples of three for every item!

2. Tray Capacity Limits: Your holding tray only has 7 slots! You must constantly keep an eye on how much space you have left. If the tray fills up completely with 7 unmatched tiles, you lose the level instantly.

3. Winning the Level: You win the level when every single tile has been successfully removed from the board and matched in your tray.

🛠️ Core Item System

1. Undo: Retracts the very last tile you placed into the tray, sending it back to the board. This is a lifesaver if you accidentally misclick or realize you've trapped yourself!

2. Hint: Stuck and can't find a match? Click the Hint button! The game will automatically grab a tile from the board that matches something already in your tray, helping you secure an instant clear.

3. Refresh: Shuffles all the remaining tiles on the board. This is perfect for when the board gets completely deadlocked (like when the tiles you desperately need are buried under three layers of junk) and you need a fresh perspective.

⌨️ Game Controls

Mouse Controls: Simply use your left mouse button to click on any top-layer tile on the board to move it down into your tray. It's fully playable with just one finger!

My tray is full! What do I do?

If your tray fills up completely with 7 tiles and no match of 3 is made, it's Game Over! To prevent this, never just click randomly. Always scan the board first and only click tiles if you can clearly see a path to match 3 of them. Prioritize clearing out the tiles you already have sitting in your tray before grabbing new ones.

Will the game ever give me impossible tiles that can't be matched?

No, never! The game algorithm ensures that every puzzle is 100% solvable. Every item generated on the board will have at least two identical matches somewhere in the pile. If you can't find a match, it usually means the tiles you need are buried underneath others. Carefully peel away the top layers first!

Is there a time limit? Does playing faster give me more points?

Cooking Tile has absolutely zero time limits! You can sit back, relax, and stare at the board for as long as you need to plan your perfect move. Take your time—speed doesn't affect your final score or ranking!
