About

Grill Sitter

Features
Read full description

Mind the grill. Grill Sitter is a pixel-art endless timing game set in a quiet suburban garden. The grill stays put while hotdogs and seagulls cross three lanes. Let the coals build heat, then tap anywhere to fire a flare and cook every crossing before one gets past. The longer you wait, the higher the flame reaches. Spend your heat too early and the upper lanes stay out of reach. Wait too long and dinner escapes. You cannot light a new flare until the current one burns out, so every tap matters. Features: • One-tap controls — the whole screen is the button • Three readable lanes and fair, cookable waves • Day-to-night transitions with lit houses, stars, and moonlight • Landscape play designed for iPhone and iPad • Local high score saved on your device • No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no data collection • Fully playable offline How many crossings can you cook before one gets away?
