- Main Menu Overhaul - 28 May 2024
For a while now, we have been unsatisfied with the main menu in One-Armed Cook. It was confusing to use, and had unnecessary sections and buttons. We’ve completely redesigned the main menu, in style with our more recent game One-Armed robber. The two menus are now very similar in design. This makes the one-armed cook menu much more intuitive to use. The entire menu has been condensed down to a single easy-to-use screen. In the previous design you would have to press several buttons before you were able to play the game, now only a single click is needed. Previously you would have to select whether you wanted to play singleplayer or multiplayer before you could do anything else, but with the new menu design both singleplayer and multiplayer are possible in the same menu. Starting the game while you’re alone in the lobby will simply start a singleplayer game. Invite your friends or change…
- Multiplayer improvements - 19 September 2023
Movement A lot of players have recently complained about the multiplayer in One-armed cook, therefore we have spent a lot of time reworking the player movement system, as well as the item physics to improve the overall multiplayer experience. And we believe that we have done so. Physics items Multiplayer is now smooth for hosts as well as clients even when their ping is high, physics items now smoothly replicate and it is way easier for clients to handle items. In the past when players had high ping, there would sometimes be a delay between clicking on an item and picking it up. That has been completely fixed, and picking up items is now instant, even with 100+ ping. Item bugs We have also gone through and fixed as many of the physics replication bugs that we could find, or players have reported, this includes buggy boxes, food items, knives, fryer baskets, pizza shovels and more! Ice c…

- Freddy’s fried chicken - 30 November 2022
A new map has just been added! Freddy’s fried chicken is a fast food-inspired restaurant, and just like in most fast food restaurants this map also has food trays, this makes it easier to transfer food from the fryer to the assembly table. To empty a fryer basket you can hold down right click, and the basket will be emptied, line it up with a tray and you can pour it in, place that tray on the assembly line, and the food is ready to be put together by the assembler. This map has been planned for quite a while but has been sort of forgotten. Now it is finally ready to be played! The map is well suited for 2-4 players, but it is also possible to play it on your own. Many things in this map are new, including the customers, you don’t have to serve tables, but instead you have two lines of guests that automatically place their orders, making it more manageable and helps you focus on the rel…
- Changes to the experience system - 6 November 2022
Changes have been made to the way you earn experience. Previously the level was completed and XP was given based on the amount of customers you served, completely ignoring the accuracy and quality of the food you served. XP will now be given based on the amount of money you earned during the level. In the lobby you now have the ability to choose the “game length” in other words, how much money you have to earn to complete the level before the time runs out. The other side tasks remain unchanged. This way XP is given more fairly to the players who focus on making the best food! We think this is a better way to award players who focus on the actual point of the game, instead of those who just rush through. If you have any comments or ideas feel free to discuss them with us on our twitter, we will reply to every comment here.

Pizza time! It has been a while since the last update. The long awaited pizza map has finally been released, now it is time to serve some pizza!

Along with the new food system comes a lot of bug fixes, and a lot more flexibility and new possibilities when it comes to new maps. So expect to see more unique maps in the future! A lot of you have requested more in-depth graphics options, so now there is a “very low” setting, fps limiter, and the possibility to change the resolution scale, which should improve performance for low end devices. A field of view slider has also been added. - Please note! Due to a lot of changes to core mechanics of the game, new bugs or oversights are a possibility. If you find a bug feel free to join Our discord and report it. We are happy to help!
