Move each soft omurice toward the middle of the pan with the arrow keys or WASD, then use Space to flip it once without dropping it. Repeat for all 12 servings. Tilting the pan does not count as a flip, so reposition before attempting another launch.
Play and controls
Play the free official browser game. Released August 18, 2024 for a Japanese one-week game jam themed “flip,” this short game takes about three minutes. Omurice is a Japanese omelette-and-rice dish; here the challenge is tossing a very wobbly one. Use the mouse to navigate the menu.
| Input | Function |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys or WASD | Tilt the pan slightly to reposition the food; no flip-count penalty |
| Space | Toss and flip; holding longer sends it higher |
| Mouse click | Select menu options |
A repeatable plan for all 12
- Start a round and check where the current omurice rests.
- If it is near the edge, tilt the pan until it is closer to the center. This adjustment does not increase the recorded flip count.
- Press and release Space to make one controlled toss. The official rule requires a successful turnover without falling out. Excessive holding increases launch height; an exact ideal duration has not been verified.
- If it visibly flips but the game does not register success, move it toward the middle and wait briefly. That is the developer's stated workaround.
- Continue through the 12 servings. The developer says later servings are more difficult and has acknowledged a charge-gauge disappearance as a difficulty feature, without specifying the exact round.
- Review the final result. Secure clean single-flip successes before trying to optimize speed.
What does the score mean?
| Result | Confirmed rule |
|---|---|
| One successful flip | Up to 10 base points for that serving |
| Two or more flips | Base points decrease |
| Twelve perfect base scores | 12 × 10 = 120 base points mathematically, not a firsthand record |
| Equal base scores | Faster flips rank higher; a flip within five seconds adds a fractional time bonus |
The 120 figure is a base-score ceiling, not a verified maximum final score once time bonuses are included. The exact deductions and bonus formula have not been published in the description.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
Food flies off the pan? Try a shorter Space hold after centering it. It flipped but nothing happened? Recenter and wait a moment. Do arrow presses cost points? No, they are excluded from the flip count. Why does the gauge vanish later? The developer acknowledged the feature, but its precise trigger remains unconfirmed. Is there a guaranteed timing? No fixed winning duration was verified.
Bottom line: positioning is free; extra flips can cost base points. Aim for 12 first-try turnovers, then chase the five-second bonus. This guide is based on the developer's public rules, not a completed firsthand playthrough.
