OVERVIEW
This game is a multiplayer co-op cooking experience where teams of two compete against other players in fast-paced kitchen challenges.
Players must prepare recipes under time pressure by collecting ingredients, cooking food correctly, arranging dishes in the right order, and submitting them before time runs out.
The game also features a strike system that allows up to three mistakes per round, where failed orders or incorrect preparation can lead to losing the match.

In the game, players team up and start the match from the PC before putting on the VR headsets.
Players can assist each other by marking ingredient locations, allowing teammates to see highlighted ingredient icons for easier coordination. Some ingredients require cooking using a blowtorch, where the material visually changes to indicate the cooked state.
Item Pinging
Blowtorch Interaction
Ingredients are collected from item spawners placed throughout the kitchen environment. Players can move around freely using climbing and jumping mechanics to access ingredients on higher shelves. I also worked on the item stacking system, where ingredients must be placed on the plate in the correct order to complete the final dish.

Item Spawner
Once the recipe is completed, players ring a bell to submit the plate. The monitor then displays whether the recipe was correct or if the team needs to fix mistakes within the remaining time.
Teams are allowed up to three failed attempts before losing the round.
