85/100

Chefy Chef is a delightful surprise for fans of retro platformers. It wears its 16-bit inspirations on its sleeve, but it adds a 'mini-metroidvania' twist that makes it feel fresh on mobile. You play as a chef searching for ingredients across three distinct worlds, and the level design is genuinely clever. Instead of just jumping over pits, you’re using kitchen tools like frying pans and meat hammers as power-ups to traverse the environment.

The difficulty curve is steep—it can get quite frustrating in the later levels—but the tight controls (and controller support!) make it feel fair. The pixel art is expressive and charming, particularly the 'too-cute-to-kill' enemies. It’s a compact adventure that doesn't overstay its welcome, offering 60 levels of tight platforming that require both reflexes and a bit of puzzle-solving to find all the hidden burgers.

Tips

Tool Management

Don't just run forward; many levels require you to backtrack once you've found a specific tool. For example, if you see a high ledge, look for the hammer further in the level, then return to reach the secret area. Collecting all 3 secret burgers in a level is the only way to unlock the rarest Chef outfits.
