Sword & Spatula

About This Game

Sword & Spatula is a cooperative action-strategy game designed for two players, blending the thrill of combat with the art of cooking. In the game, players traverse a whimsical yet dangerous world, facing waves of diverse enemies and satisfying their hunger by preparing meals.

Each player has a health bar and a hunger bar, and the game level is failed if either bar reaches zero. Players need to simultaneously engage in battles and keep themselves fed, creating a dynamic and engaging gameplay loop.

The game presents varying enemy types, each with distinct speed, hit points, and melee attack damage profiles. From balanced medium-paced enemies to slow, hard-hitting brutes, and quick, weaker attackers that can stun players, the game provides an array of challenges for players to strategize and overcome.

Cooking forms a significant aspect of gameplay

Players need to use ingredients found scattered across the level to prepare meals using recipes they learn along the way. The cooking counters are relocatable, allowing players to customize their kitchen setup.

Defeat enemies and cook meals to earn experience points
