1-10 of 11 | Next | Show All  Hilarious from start to finish, January 3, 2023by Lance Cirone (Backwater, Vermont) You are a Chef! is flat-out one of the silliest games I've ever played. Stuff randomly falls from the sky and you have to put it in a pot. There are jokes like "It's called a parking lot because there is a LOT of parking!" It's a game that consistently makes me laugh whenever I play it, and I love it for that. Not the hardest or most complex entry in the IF catalog, but it's fun to turn your brain off and just laugh at a funny clown getting a safe dropped on it. Was this review helpful to you?

Short and intentionally dumb. For fans of Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die., February 3, 2016by MathBrush You are a chef! is a short and purposely dumb game. The game has bad spelling and grammar, poorly defined locations, and mainly consists of picking up ingredients falling from the sky. Was this review helpful to you?

Original in a silly way, February 22, 2014by Simon Deimel (Germany) A very short game with a silly premise: So you are a chef and have to prepare a meal. There is a list of ingrediences that you have to use, and then a number of objects fall from the sky and you have to put the ones mentioned on the list into the pot (Spoiler - click to show)(or you take everything and then "put all into the pot" -- it also works, the game will automatically choose the right ones). Some things cannot be taken without previously getting hold of corresponding objects (luckily the game explicitly states the possession of which other item is required, as in some cases there is hardly any logic -- maybe it is knowledge based on community conventions which I am not familiar with). So there are no puzzles and the game progress takes place almost by itself. It just takes a short time to reach the ending. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Silly, but meant to be, December 12, 2011by LeMort I think this game serves more as a purpose to show what an IF-game can do, than actually being a game. It's very short, very silly and very easy to complete. If you need something to occupy you for a couple of minutes, go for it. Unless you're looking for a challenge. Then go elsewhere.

Best SpeedIF Evar., September 5, 2010by AmberShards (The Gothic South) Of course, given that most Speed IF entries suck more a black hole, the hurdle for good Speed IF is ridiculously low. All you have to do is finish your game and you're in. You are a Chef not only surmounts that apparently difficult hurdle, but actually succeeds in being enjoyable to play and funny, to boot. The humor here is wild-eyed breathless zaniness. The difficulty is very easy, and the time it takes to win is a few minutes, tops. The ending is nothing spectacular, but the fun is all in the breathless over-the-top style and the running gag. It's definitely worth a few minutes of time. Bravo, Dan Shiovitz.

Worth a couple of minutes..., September 1, 2010by Jeff Sonas I don't regret the time I spent on it, the recurring joke was kind of funny for a while. But I'm afraid it was more of a relief than anything else when the game ended, and that was after playing it for about two minutes. I guess the game was the perfect length!

Not funny, January 29, 2009by Victor Gijsbers (The Netherlands) You are a Chef! is solidly within the "look, I have written a really bad game!" school of comedy. We can see this from the very first line: "HELLO CHEF!!!!!1". The string of exclamation marks ends with a '1' because the fictional 'n00b' author put his finger off of the Shift-key a little too early. Was this review helpful to you?

grotesquely stupid and very funny, December 21, 2008by kba (berlin) The minute it took me to play was hilarious. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Zany, November 27, 2007This is a pleasant and zany little piece of SpeedIF. It's positively nonsensical, but so enthusiastically so as to be quite amusing. There's no real puzzle--walking about typing 'take all' would be sufficient to solve it--but it's brief enough that it's oddness alone is enough to sustain it. How can one not love a game that opens with "HELLO CHEF!!!!!1 You must make FOOD! You have a list! First to food wins!"? Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Very, very silly, November 26, 2007It's silly, it's fun, it has a monkey in it, and the goal is to make soup. What more could you want? (It's Speed IF, so don't expect it to be typo-free.) Effectively puzzleless. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
