Read full description

A little ramen shop. A warm bowl. Your next puzzle. Ramen Master Challenge is a cozy ingredient puzzle game with a calm atmosphere. Swap neighboring ingredients, connect everything your guests ordered and serve a delicious bowl of ramen. THINK, CONNECT, SERVE Each swap costs a move. Plan your path, work around blocked tiles and complete every order before your moves run out. Connections can turn corners, but cannot run diagonally. Need a little help? Hints are available. WATCH YOUR KITCHEN GROW Work your way through 150 levels, one at a time. Completed levels remain available to replay. • Levels 1–19: 4 × 4 boards • Levels 20–59: 5 × 5 boards • From level 60: 6 × 6 boards Discover new ingredients, larger orders and trickier layouts as you progress. MAKE YOUR SHOP YOUR OWN Earn coins by completing levels and spend them on decorations for your ramen shop. Coins can also buy extra moves. All coins are earned through gameplay — there are no paid coin packs. A COZY BREAK Enjoy gentle music, sound effects and light or dark appearance. Music and sound effects can be switched off separately. Play the puzzles offline, with progress saved on your device. TRY IT FREE Levels 1–10 are free. A single, non-consumable in-app purchase permanently unlocks access to levels 11–150. You still progress by completing each level in order. Both the free and full versions are ad-free. No subscriptions and no game account required. Purchases can be restored using the same Apple Account. Gameplay progress is stored locally and is not synced across devices. Available in English, German, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
