Help for Roti Jal Gayi!

How to play

A roti drops onto a hot tawa and starts to brown on the side touching the iron — the side you cannot see. Tap anywhere on the game — or click, or press Space or Enter — to start, and then to cook. Every roti is exactly two taps: the first flips it, the second takes it off.

• Flip it when the side underneath is golden. The gauge under the stove shows the color of that hidden side, with the best stretch hatched. Your tap judges that side by its color at the moment you tap.
• Take it off when the second side is golden too. A good roti hops into the basket and a fresh one drops in.
• Points, for each side: golden is 1, golden and spotted (“Perfect!”) is 3, well done is 1.
• Raw or burnt, it is wasted. Take a roti off with a side still raw (“Kacha!”), or leave a side on the iron until it burns — the gauge flashes and smoke rises as it gets close — and that roti is thrown away. Waste three and the stove goes off and the run is over. Your points stay.
• The tawa gets hotter with every roti, so the golden moment gets shorter and shorter. Each roti is a little different, so watch the color rather than counting.

Common questions

Are there ads?

No. Not a banner, not a pop-up, not a “watch a video to carry on”. There is no advertising in Roti Jal Gayi! at all, and there is nothing to buy.

Does it really play offline?

Yes. Once you have opened it once with a connection, it plays with no connection at all — from your home screen, in airplane mode, anywhere. It never needs the internet to play, and it never goes online in the middle of a run.

My tap did not do anything

While a roti is in the air — flipping, dropping onto the tawa or hopping into the basket — a tap is ignored, so a tap meant for one roti never lands on the next. Two fingers landing together, or a finger that bounces, count as one tap. After a run ends, the card waits a moment before a tap starts the next one, so the tap meant for your last roti does not skip it.

Can I just tap fast?

No. Tapping early leaves a side raw, and a roti taken off with a raw side is wasted just as surely as a burnt one. Hammering the screen, or tapping on a steady rhythm, scores nothing and ends the run in three rotis. The only way to keep going is to wait for golden.

I left the game and came back

If you switch away from the game in the middle of a run, it pauses, so no roti burns behind your back. Tap to carry on.

My best score disappeared

In a browser, your best score is saved in that browser, on that device only. It is lost if you clear the site’s data or browsing history, and private or incognito windows forget it when closed. It does not transfer between devices or browsers.

In the Android app, your best score is kept in the app’s storage on your phone. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in your phone’s Settings removes it.

It says WebGL is switched off

The tawa and the roti are drawn with WebGL, which every modern browser has. If the game says it is switched off, turn on hardware acceleration in your browser’s settings, or try another browser.

It looks out of date

In a browser, Roti Jal Gayi! keeps a copy of itself in your browser so it works without a connection. When a new version is published, the first launch with a connection downloads it and the launch after that runs it — so if something looks stale, open it once more. Reloading twice is always enough.

The colors look muddy or too dark

Some browsers darken pages on their own when your phone is in dark mode. In Samsung Internet, turn on Settings › Labs › “Use website dark theme”, and the kitchen shows its own colors.

The game runs slowly or stutters

In a browser, close other tabs and reload the page. If it continues, send us your device model and browser — performance reports genuinely help, and we act on them.

Is there sound?

No. The game is silent, so it is fine to play anywhere. In a browser, on phones that support it, it gives a short buzz when a roti lands and a longer one when a roti burns. The Android app does not vibrate, because it asks for no permissions at all.

How do I report a bug or suggest something?

Email us. Small games are shaped by the people who play them, and suggestions are read by the person who makes the game.

Accessibility

The game needs one input and no aiming: a thumb anywhere on the screen, a mouse click, or Space or Enter on a keyboard. It has no sound to miss. The gauge and the words that pop up (“Kacha!”, “Perfect!”) show what is happening as well as the roti’s color does. In a browser, it respects your system’s reduced-motion setting for its pulsing buttons and flashing gauge; the roti itself still flips, because that is the game. If something makes the game hard for you to play, please tell us — that is a bug we want to know about.
