One-armed cook is a chaotic co-op cooking game for up to 4 people. Work as a team or cook on your own, set your own pace, and don't let the stress of a full restaurant catch up to you. The goofy physics-based aspect of the game gives this cooking game a new twist.

You play as a one-armed cook running a restaurant, either alone or with up to three other players. The one-arm limitation shapes every task, from picking up ingredients to carrying finished dishes.
Take customer orders, prepare ingredients, cook dishes using simple recipes, and serve the results. A recipe book can help when you need a reminder, while a busy service can add pressure to keep orders moving.
Physics-based interactions make kitchen work unpredictable: objects can slip, spill, or fly across the room. Different restaurant settings offer varied menus, and the Catering Jobs mode adds city jobs, unlockable recipes and restaurants, kitchen upgrades, and power-ups.
Players often enjoy the game as a funny, chaotic co-op activity: awkward one-handed handling and physics turn routine cooking into shared mishaps and laughter. Some also enjoy cooking solo, but several describe playing with friends as the stronger draw. Reviews are mixed on how long the basic cooking loop stays engaging, and some report bugs or crashes.
