How do I identify food: is there turkey or ham?

Creator guidance

Sitrex says there is no turkey or ham and points players to the allergy picture in the game description. Use that reference when the food sprites are hard to distinguish. This identifies the creator’s reference; it is not a tested rule for every mixed dish.

  1. Open the creator’s game page and find the allergy picture in the description.
  2. Compare the food image with that reference instead of assuming it is turkey or ham.
  3. If it is still unclear, capture the dish and ask in the creator’s comments; do not treat an unconfirmed food identification as a safe choice.

How do I clear a plate?

Creator guidance

Players report not realizing that another action is needed after the hand appears. The creator confirms the sequence below. Touch compatibility has not been verified.

  1. Hold the speech bubble on the left.
  2. Wait for the hand to appear.
  3. Use the hand to push the plate away.

Must I refresh to restart?

Creator guidance

The September 18 update adds a retry button. Refreshing is no longer the only way to restart.

Why does the game get faster, and can hunger end a run?

Creator guidance

Players report runs ending from hunger and a feeling of increasing speed. The September 18 update confirms that game speed rises during the night and that allergy and dish ratios were balanced. It does not specify a hunger formula or guarantee indefinite survival. Player reports do not identify the exact build or device; avoid comparing scores across versions as if conditions were identical.

Why can’t I eat the second dish?

Report · no verified fix

A player reports being unable to eat the second dish. Another player suggests moving the old plate first, but the original poster has not confirmed success. Check the steps above; if it still fails, record whether the hand appeared and the plate actually moved. No universal fix is verified.

Is a full version coming, and will it support Arabic?

Creator guidance

Checked September 27, 2026: Sitrex says the team is discussing a full version with more varied mechanics, but development has not started and no release date is confirmed. A separate reply says Arabic localization may be discussed if a full version is made. This is not an announcement of an available full version or Arabic support. Our translated guide is separate from the game’s languages.
