## What is Saute?

Drag two matching ingredients together and watch them level up. Fill the guests' orders, bank the gold, unlock a new city. Simple to pick up — but the fun is in how fast you go.

MOST MERGE GAMES MAKE YOU WAIT. THIS ONE DOESN'T.
There are no energy timers in Saute. Generators recharge on their own, even while the game is closed, so you never open the app just to find out you can't play. The only limit is the space on your board.

MERGE FAST — THE COMBO PAYS
Merge again within 3.5 seconds and your combo grows. Every step raises the gold multiplier, up to ×4. Keep the chain alive and the board turns into a rhythm instead of a chore.

COMBO 8 OPENS CHEF MODE
Hit combo 8 and the kitchen catches fire for 9 seconds: gold doubles and every generator becomes unlimited. It is the best nine seconds in the game, and it is entirely in your hands.

TRIPLE MERGE
Line up three matching pieces instead of two and you skip two tiers at once, with double the gold. Planning ahead is worth real money here.

SERVE THE GUESTS
Orders arrive from hungry guests. Deliver them back to back and your serving streak adds up to twice the reward. Red-framed hot orders pay double — if you can get them out in ninety seconds.

EIGHT CHAINS, SEVEN CITIES
Start with the bakery and the coffee house in Istanbul. Level up and the road opens: the vegetable garden in Naples, the kitchen in Tokyo, the patisserie in Paris, the fish market in Lisbon, the grill in Mexico City, the creamery in New York. Sixty-four recipes in all, and every city brings a new chain, a new generator and a new look.

POWER-UPS THAT ACTUALLY HELP
Magnet chain-merges everything on the board at once. Broom clears low-tier clutter for gold. Joker merges with anything. Charge refills every generator. They drop from combos and orders — you don't have to buy them.

BUILT TO RESPECT YOU
• No ads, anywhere
• No in-app purchases
• No account, no sign-up
• No internet connection required
• Nothing is collected about you — the game has no analytics and makes no network requests
• The whole interface in 39 languages

Just a board, eight ingredient chains and a combo waiting to be pushed one step further.
