About Microwave Master
Microwave Master is a timing game set in a busy little kitchen. A customer orders a dish and pins a ticket with its cook time, never more than 4 seconds. Tap to start the microwave, then stop it on that exact time. Land it and the dish is PERFECT, YUMMY or OK, with a tip to match. Stop too soon and it comes out raw (or still frozen); too late and it burns. Leave popcorn, eggs or soup in far too long and they explode.
There are 48 days in six kitchens, and every kitchen brings a new twist:
- Home Kitchen: the classic stop.
- Busy Diner: steam fogs up the display, so you keep counting in your head.
- Food Truck: the truck hits bumps and the display blinks out.
- Fancy Bistro: tap once to FLIP the food, then stop on the DONE time.
- Space Station: space microwaves count down instead of up.
- Haunted Kitchen: ghosts play with the lights and the kitchen goes dark.
The last day in each kitchen is its busiest, and later days mix the twists together. Three ruined dishes close the kitchen for the day. Clear day 3 to open Rush Hour: orders keep coming, three strikes are allowed, and you play for your best tips.
Tips buy 9 microwaves, from Retro to Cyber, and there are 17 dishes, 16 hungry customers and 14 trophies to collect with Chef Whiskers.
How to play
- Read the order ticket: it shows the dish and its cook time, like COOK 2.50.
- Tap, click or press Space to start the microwave.
- Watch the display count up and tap again on the cook time. The closer you stop, the better: PERFECT, YUMMY or OK.
- Stopping too early serves it raw, too late burns it, and far too late can make it explode. Three ruined dishes close the kitchen for the day.
- Serve every order to finish the day and earn up to three stars from your tips.

Tips & tricks
- Watch the numbers, not the food. The cook time on the ticket is all that matters.
- Perfects pay the most: 30 tips, against 20 for YUMMY and 10 for OK. Three stars need mostly perfects.
- Count in your head in the Busy Diner. Steam hides the display, but the timer keeps the same speed.
- Keep your rhythm in the Food Truck. Bumps only blink the display out for a moment.
- Flip first, then finish. In the Fancy Bistro the first tap is the FLIP time and the second is DONE.
- Space microwaves count down, so a low cook time comes late.
- Mind the popcorn, eggs and soups. Leave them far too long and they explode.
