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.
