About the Game

Stan the Dumpling popped out of the pot as the result of a distracted chef's botched dinner.

The chef left the house for a short while — this is your chance! Navigate through rooms filled with surprises and dangers, pick up and combine objects to solve puzzles, and escape before the chef returns.

But watch Stan's energy — it depletes over time and can only be replenished to a limited extent. A retro arcade adventure inspired by the '80s, with pixelart graphics that will take you back to the early '90s.

About the Authors

The concept first emerged decades ago in the minds of two brothers (Roland responsible for coding, Zoltán for graphics and puzzles), who began development first for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, then for early VGA PCs — but work always remained unfinished for various reasons.

Until 2025, when a JavaScript web version was finally completed, followed by the present PC version in early 2026.
