More Information

Every day there is a different combination of foods to defrost. Each food has its own base Speed, and base Cook Margin.

After the first round, no matter what food you pick, the temperature will fall and freeze the room.

The boost button advances a set amount of time the defrosting. Using it gives a small multiplier to the score. Boosting while the room is frozen gives a bigger boost.

The speed knob lowers the time it takes to reach the cook margin. Every food item has its own base speed. The knob acts as a multiplier. The final score also gets a multiplier.

The power knob lowers the cook margin. Every food item has its own base power. The final score is also affected by this. Each power setting acts as its own category, and scores are kept separate in the leaderboard. The power cannot be changed after the first food item.

The score is determined by how close you can get to the end of the timer. Stopping right before it finishes gives the most amount of points, and stopping before it enters the cook margin gives no points at all.

The final score of the round depends on the stop time, the power, the speed and the boost multiplier.
