GET OUT.
OR GET EVEN.
REBELLION IS ON THE MENU.
Boiling Point! A competitive boss battler meets a high-stakes escape race — where the ending changes what it takes to win, and every move can shift which ending comes first.
Rival crustacean factions stack, battle the chefs, and race the rising heat. If the Head Chefs fall first, the faction with the most Vengeance wins. If the pot reaches Boiling Point first, whoever escaped the most crustaceans wins. Fight for revenge. Race for freedom. Every move shifts the balance.

TWO WAYS THIS ENDS.
1. HEAD CHEFS FIRED
All Head Chefs are Fired before Boiling Point is reached.
Winner: Most Vengeance Points (VP)
2. BOILING POINT REACHED
Boiling Water reaches Boiling Point before all Head Chefs are Fired.
Winner: Most Escaped Crustaceans
Fight your way through the cooklines and defeat the Head Chefs before the pot boils. If the rebellion succeeds, the faction with the greatest Vengeance becomes Champion of the Rebellion.
But if the water reaches its Boiling Point first, the fight for revenge is over. Victory belongs to the faction that pulled off the Great Escape.
Push toward the ending that favors you. Counter a rival’s push. Pivot when the pot changes.
GET FIRED UP. GET EVEN. GET OUT.
Stack your rebels. Battle cooklines. Drink the Tears of your enemies. Recruit Legendary Crustaceans.
And get out before the rising water boils your revolution alive.
Climb to the Top
Crustaceans sharing a space stack on top of one another - and where you land matters. Fight from above for more actions and a stronger position in battle, or shelter underneath other crustaceans for protection from the heat. Every stack is a tactical choice between power and safety.
Make the Chefs pay
Battle your way through cooklines standing between your faction and freedom. Defeat chefs to secure Vengeance and collect their salty Tears.
DRINK THEM
Cool down and gain powerful boosts.
TRIBUTE THEM
Call Legendary Crustaceans into the pot.
Lead the Great Escape
Clear the cooklines blocking your path and lead your crustaceans to freedom. But every escape turns up the temperature, bringing everyone still in the pot one step closer to the Boiling Point.
Getting out saves your crustaceans. It can also make life much hotter for everyone you leave behind.
Raise the Rising Heat
The pot gets hotter every round - and every crustacean that escapes or boils turns up the temperature even faster. Hot Water makes staying Fired Up increasingly dangerous. When the water itself begins to boil, anyone caught in its path cooks immediately.
The clock is always ticking. Every escape and casualty ticks it faster.
Tribute their Tears. Summon a Legend.
Offer your hard-earned Tears as tribute and call a Legendary Crustacean into the rebellion. Each Legend jumps into the pot with a game-changing ability that can reshape your strategy.
