Read full description

Hotpot Panic is a fast, juicy test of one thing: your sense of time. Drop ingredients into a bubbling pixel hotpot — they cook HIDDEN under the broth. Hold a marker to peek, then drag each one out at the exact moment it's perfectly done. There's no countdown and no progress bar. The food is the only timer. Trust your gut. Pull too early and it's raw. Too late and it's burnt. Nail the moment and the pot rings out a rising melody as your combo climbs. Fill the orders before the ticket timer runs out, keep your three lives, and chase a high score across a frantic 90-second shift. FEEL THE TIME • The whole game is your internal clock — learn each ingredient's rhythm and watch yourself get sharper • Hidden-broth cooking: hold to peek, drag to serve, toss the mistakes in the trash • Perfect pulls chain a satisfying pentatonic combo you can hear EASY TO PLAY, HARD TO MASTER • One thumb, one tap to drop, one drag to serve • Eight ingredients, each with its own fixed cook time — from quick shrimp to stubborn tripe • Four difficulties and endless, escalating orders • Local high scores and a Palate rank that proves your timing improving MADE TO FEEL GOOD • Chunky, high-contrast pixel art and a warm hotpot vibe • Bold, colorblind-friendly feedback — raw is cool blue, perfect is gold, burnt is charcoal • Buttery 60 FPS, one-handed portrait play, quick pick-up-and-go sessions Free to play.
