Cook fast, serve happy guests and grow a cozy restaurant that sounds as good as it looks. Restaurant Rush is a time-management cooking game built audio-first: it is fully playable with VoiceOver, so blind and sighted players share the same kitchen. Take orders, work the grill, the toaster and the counter, and keep the line moving before patience runs out. Play a diner story, build a career in a burger, pizza or sushi kitchen, or push an endless shift as far as it will go. WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: a diner story told in chapters. Earn stars on every shift and grow your restaurant. • Endless: shift after shift, you draft a card each round - boosts, curse days and boss shifts. Chase the weekly and monthly leaderboards and climb the leagues. • Career: full cooking stories with their own characters and spoken customer orders. Run a Burger diner for 50 days, then cook Pizza or Sushi, in story or Endless. Open them with Coins. • Street Vendors: drive the Scoop Truck (ice cream), the Spit Stand (döner) or the Crêpe Cart. Each has 20 levels, an Endless mode and a Garage for horns, start-up sounds and tunes. • Teams: create or join a team, help your teammates, open the weekly chest, level up together, chat, and pick a team anthem, emblem and colour. Team standings show how you rank. • Season Pass with 30 tiers of rewards, and the Season Shelf with limited items. MADE TO BE HEARD • Fully playable with VoiceOver: tables, the tray and the door queue are buttons, and the game announces new guests, orders and warnings. • Spoken orders, clear audio cues and haptics tell you what is happening without looking at the screen. • Choose your pace: Relaxed, Very relaxed or Custom. Guests wait longer; orders, money and cooking stay the same. • Menus that work well with a screen reader. • Every accessibility feature is part of the game for every player. MAKE IT YOURS • Restaurant Studio for decor, Chef Studio for outfits and Music Studio with classical tracks. • Cat Corner with Holosko and Sabri, plus pets: Pasha the dog and Limon the budgie, with costumes and voices. • A Guest Book of your regulars, daily login rewards and daily missions.

Earcade is an arcade you play with your ears, not your eyes. Every game was designed for blind and low-vision players and is fully compatible with VoiceOver: none of them ask you to look at the screen, and all of them are played by following sound and vibration. PLAY WITH HEADPHONES Most games rely on directional sound. Is the car coming from your left, is the enemy jet straight ahead, which ear is the signal clearing up in? Headphones make the direction unmistakable. THE GAMES Maze Escape You are a cat lost in a dark maze, and the bell on your collar chimes with every step. Swipe to move step by step. If you lose your way, press and hold the screen — the cat waiting at the exit meows from the direction you need to go. Traffic Monster You are driving the wrong way and cars are coming straight at you on a three-lane road. Whichever side the engine sound comes from, that lane is taken; swipe left or right to slip into the empty one. Hunter Fish You are a small, hungry fish in a dark ocean: eat or be eaten. Drag your finger and your fish follows. Start with the smallest ones; as you eat you grow, and the mid-sized and then the big ones become fair game. If the tension sound rises, a fish you cannot eat is closing in — get away. Eat them all and the ocean is yours. Back To The Sky The ground is far below and you are climbing from cloud to cloud. The cloud above you hums as it swings left and right; the moment the sound is equal in both ears, tap the screen and your star jumps and grabs on. If the phone starts to vibrate, the cloud you are standing on is breaking apart — jump again before you fall. Piano Play freely, repeat the notes you hear, or learn a song from start to finish. Notes flow as you move your finger across the screen. Pong A ball bounces from wall to wall in a dark arena and you are the last line of defence. Move your finger across the bottom half of the screen and the paddle follows. Track the ball by sound: whichever ear it rings in, that is where it is. Miss it and the game is over. Signal Hunter Midnight at the front, and you are the soldier at the radio. The enemy's messages are buried in static. Slide the two edge bars to hunt for the frequency: the closer you get, the quieter the crackle in that ear becomes, and it falls silent when you lock on. Cannonball on Deck Gold coins are scattered across a pirate ship's deck, with bottomless holes between them. Hold the phone flat and tilt it gently; the cannonball rolls that way. Press and hold the screen and the nearest coin rings out its position, while the holes hum. Collect them all without falling in. Air Combat You are in enemy airspace and you are all that is left of your squadron; jets keep coming in waves. Hold the phone upright and tilt it left and right to steer. When the enemy's engine sounds equal in both ears it is straight ahead — tap to fire. ACCESSIBILITY • Full VoiceOver support: in-game gestures keep working while VoiceOver is on • Built-in Accessibility Mode: the app's own voice, with adjustable speech rate • Critical information is carried by haptics as well • Turkish and English • Open any game straight from a Siri shortcut DARK MODE Some games have a dark mode: the screen goes completely black and sound is all you get. A real test for sighted players too.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Earcade at none against Restaurant Rush's shown. Earcade also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Restaurant Rush's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Restaurant Rush sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Earcade sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Restaurant Rush holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Restaurant Rush has 89 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Restaurant Rush ships an update every 3 days, Earcade every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
