About Plate Fight
Plate Fight is one of those delightfully offbeat indie games that looks like it sprouted straight from someone’s daydream about kitchen chaos. You play as a chef—or sometimes a hapless waiter—who’s decided that the best way to settle disagreements in a restaurant is by flinging plates at each other. It’s got that cozy pixel-art charm, but don’t let the cute graphics fool you: the physics engine is all about sending porcelain projectiles careening across the floor, shattering in glorious showers of ceramic shards.
What really hooks you is how simple it is to learn yet so tricky to master. There’s a basic throw-and-dodge rhythm at first, but soon you’re juggling power-ups like exploding plates, sticky plates that cling to opponents, and special golden dishes that unleash a mini tornado. You can charge your throw for precision ricochets or go for a wide spin attack to take out anybody lurking around corners. Solo mode has a little story campaign where you bartend your way through themed restaurants—everything from pirate ships to sushi bars—and multiplayer gives you up to four people duking it out on the same couch.
Between rounds you unlock all kinds of silly customization: goofy chef hats, aprons with questionable slogans, even funky disco plates that leave rainbow trails. The soundtrack’s pure chiptune fun, with a jaunty beat that makes you want to keep playing just to see what ridiculous environment you’ll wreck next. Plate Fight isn’t about deep narrative or intense drama, though—it’s exactly the kind of goofball arcade romp you fire up when you’ve got friends over and you’re in the mood for some no-hassle, smash-’em-up fun.
