    The Plot

    Oh no! Someone has stolen the secret recipes and spread them all over Cocktail land. You must help the superstar chefs to get them back or they will get in big trouble!


    Controls

    Player 1: Space bar to jump, cursor keys to control chef
    Player 2: "A" to jump, "S" "D" "F" "E" to control chef

    The standard controls can be changed in the Options menu within the game.


    Goal Of Every Level

    On every level there is a golden key, in order to get it you must collect all the fruits on the screen. When the key comes falling down from the sky you can pick it up and it will take you to the next level.


    Game Modes

    1 Player Game

    In this mode the player should go for a hiscore and try to collect as many keys & recipes as possible. If a second player joins a 1 player game it will turn into a 2 player team game.

    2 Player Team

    Same as 1 player game but the players help each other to collect recipes and keys. Players still have individual scores.

    2 Player VS

    A 2 player head to head mode where the best of 7 levels wins. You win a level by getting the better score. The score is reset every level. In this mode you can never get game over, if one player loses all his lives he will get an extra one but with a -500 points penalty.


    Choose Starting Level

    When you start a new game you may chose from which level you want to begin your quest. It's possible to complete the game from whatever starting level you pick, but to get the best scores and be able to collect all keys & recipes you will have to start from the first level.


    Protect Yourself

    There are 2 ways for the chefs to protect themselfs, either to stomp on the baddies or by picking up the Superpill. Superpills will give the chefs superpowers for a short while. When you have superpowers all the baddies will turn blue. During this time you only have to tought them to get rid of them! As long as the chefs got superpowers no baddie can hurt them and it only takes one hit to get a baddie out.

    Hint: Some baddies can't be taken out by stomping on them. You need the superspill to get rid of them!


    Scores

    Fruits - The more fruits you collect in one jump, the higher the score they give! Hint: if you collect more than 10 in one jump, a surprise will happen!
    Last fruit on screen - 250 points
    Gems - 25 points
    Coins - 25 / 50 points
    Balloons - 250 / 500 points
    Recipe found - 500 points (1500 points if you play on hard difficulty)
    Stomp on a baddie - 10 points


    High Scores Table

    If you get a good enough score you will be able to enter your name for the high score table. The hiscore table displays your name, score and how many keys & recipes you collected. Can you reach the number one spot?


    Game Difficulty

    In the options menu you will find the difficulty setting. Choosing Easy will give the chefs 2 safety hearts each which means a chef can take 2 hits whitout losing a life. In Medium difficulty the chefs get 1 safety heart and in Hard no safety hearts at all.

    Easy - 2 safety hearts, extra lives appears often
    Medium - 1 safety heart, extra lives appears now and then
    Hard - no safety heart, extra lives appears more seldom, no superpills
