About KuloNiku: Bowl Up!
KuloNiku: Bowl Up! is a comedic cooking game. You inherit your grandmother’s once-famous meatball restaurant in the small town of KuloNiku, then try to restore it as the best place to eat in town. Townsfolk arrive with unique orders, and you are the one who cooks and serves them.
The flashiest rival in town is Souper Starz, a restaurant run by rockstar chef Stella.
In the kitchen, you chop, boil, fry, torch, pour, slice, and skewer ingredients with controls that feel immediate in your hands. Whether you want to add garlic or sprinkle salt is your decision as the chef. There is more than one way to prepare the right dish for a customer, and a bigger tip awaits if their order is fulfilled well. Endless Mode is also available if you want to cook without the limits of story mode.
Customers are more than just buyers. Some of them can become friends, rivals, or part of your story. Friendship levels with townsfolk can be raised to unlock special illustrations and decorations, while your mysterious past is slowly revealed as you look after your grandmother’s restaurant with your friends.
Rival chefs also compete for the top spot, and the way those rivalries are settled is Meatball Brawls. In these cooking duels you go head-to-head to win over a rotating panel of judges. What is scored is not only speed, but also strategy, creativity, and mastery of every cooking step. There are also mini-games to impress the judges and the live audience, which can add sudden requests that boost your score.
Your restaurant can keep being upgraded. New tools, higher-quality ingredients, and new recipes can be unlocked so the menu does not stay the same. Decorations can also be chosen in a range of styles, including buying complete sets. Those ornaments are not just for looks; some grant gameplay benefits that help impress customers. Special decorations can also be earned by taking part in festivals or raising friendship levels with townsfolk.
