* The key to victory is to quickly cook the dishes Muto craves.
* Hunt monsters throughout the map to collect ingredients for the current recipe. Then, jump on the pot at the center of the map to add them.

<figure><img src="/files/U47Wv4OXpVJAWu2ijcTI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Each dish has a specific cooking time. You must complete the dish before time runs out to successfully push Gulla back.
* A green gauge at the top of the screen fills as Muto pushes Gulla back. If Gulla pushes Muto, a blue gauge will fill from the other direction. Fill the green gauge completely to win!
* The cooking time and how far Muto pushes Gulla vary for each food. More complex foods are tougher to handle, but they give Muto the strength to push Gulla back even farther.

* If you complete a dish before the cooking timer reaches the red bonus section, Muto will gain a huge boost of strength and push Gulla back even farther.
