About the Game
Omelet You Cook from solo developer Dan Schumacher is a cozy-chaotic cooking roguelike where you assemble omelets for an increasingly demanding student cafeteria, ingredients arriving on a conveyor belt, with score thresholds and round modifiers ramping up over each run. The "roguelike" framing means each run feels different — Principal Clucker introduces new restrictions, hazards (literally chickens running across the prep area), and ingredient combinations that reward experimentation.
It's small in scope but tightly designed — the kind of indie that runs full-tilt on a Steam Deck and earns its replayability through the deep combinatorial space of which weird ingredients actually work together. Released February 2026, the patch cadence has been steady; this is build 21838995.
Released with CSF + Goldberg, fully offline-playable. 157 MB installed. Single-player only.

Our latest update fleshes out the Fungi category by giving them a unique new scoring mechanic! This mechanic has been in the works since before the EA release and we're super excited to add a new way to play with your food!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/10efe0a5784ff9daea3955cd50c7c0bb9f68c638.png"]
We've added 10 ingredients utilizing this new mechanic and further expanding what's possible for the Fungi lovers out there. Plus this Onion Ring that's been laying around in the project files for over a year...
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/a95e08c3730edc041c7c17c1090add530d534e99.png"]
We also wanted to give love to another underexplored tag: the LARGE ingredients. Some of our new ingredients and helpers either manipulate the size of ingredients, or score pts for the big boys.

Rounding out the content update, we've added 7 new helpers interacting with Fungi or Large ingredients.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/6d9bb8e9dba3a9c364bd534e68cfee36ce52141a.png"]
Plus 6 new achievements related to the new ingredients!

With this update, we feel that each of the Primary tags is fleshed out enough to have viable builds. We've still got a few more updates planned and we're doing our best to ensure each of them adds new build possibilities without needlessly bloating the ingredient pool.
We're constantly inspired by ideas from our community on Discord! So please keep letting us know what you want to see more of! Are there any tags you want us to focus on? Any mechanics that you love and think we could apply in new ways? Please keep the ideas coming, it helps us a ton!
In case you missed it, we recently put out a demo for our next game - BIG DIG! It's a quick ~30 minute experience setting up the story of Mayor Dog's election campaign. If you enjoyed the narrative/art/vibe of Omelet You Cook, please check it out and let us know what you think!

That's all for this update! We're excited to see what you chefs can do with the new mechanic!
Happy cooking,

Hello chefs!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/22b99d18192001179d18a5673a9207db00637c18.png"]
It's time for our first major update of the post-1.0 era! For this update we wanted to flesh out some niches we felt were lacking and introduce a long-promised major feature!
In the omelet selection screen, you can now replay any weekly pantry whenever you want! There's currently 27 such pantries, so we've more than tripled the number of available starter pantries. It should be pretty easy to cycle through them and find one that looks interesting. To incentivize you, we've added a couple achievements for completing Weeklies.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/5211400b56dac355a8e575431357e3e48dd659aa.png"]
For those of you chasing the 100% Catalogue completion achievement, this should help you track down some missing customers and ingredients. We've got 25 more weeklies to add so if there's any boss customer you want us to guarantee or any fun helper/ingredient combinations, please let us know and they might make it into the game!
In terms of content, we wanted to focus on fleshing out the Seafood and Wiggly categories even further. There were previously no Wiggly ingredients that came in groups of 2+ in the shop, which made Octopus Leg a bit useless. Now we've got a new type of wiggly that just flop in place a bit but comes with some great scoring potential! Plus some more mult-providers that should help create more ridiculous strategies!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/9de7a5fd311c5894ac2c205343550eb718475241.png"]
Another reason we wanted to focus on Seafood is because we only had 1 Seafood-related helper previously! That's fixed now along with some more helpers that convert tags, since that's a design space we're very curious to explore. Please let us know which of these new helpers is your favorite and what you want to see more of!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/3632711b2118452149226498e3b27b54484a5824.png"]
In case you missed it, we've been running several brackets on our Discord to determine the most beloved ingredient in Omelet You Cook! Join us on Discord to participate and vote for your favorite!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/ef19b8e47c77e48dd5a372a59a63400eefcb2022.png"]Another major objective for this update was to rebalance and address some of the most common frustrations y'all have brought to our attention. In particular, we've made Scissors (and therefore the Wrapped pantry) much easier to unlock. More details in the patch notes. (Note you may need to unlock them again but it'll be much quicker this time!)
We've also added 7 new achievements because Principal Clucker disdains chefs celebrating their 100% completion. So get cooking, keep sharing those Ws, and we'll keep moving the goalposts!
We still have a lot more planned for Omelet You Cook, and all your feedback is incredibly helpful! Please keep sharing what delights and frustrates you, and any ideas you have for new content you want to see!
Happy cooking, chefs!

v1.1 Patch Notes
Content
Replay any Weekly Run whenever you want!
There's currently 27 Weekly Pantries which means we've more than tripled the number starting pantries available!
We'll need to make 25 more so if you have any requests for ingredients/helpers to build pantries around, please feel free to suggest them!
9 new ingredients
8 new helpers
7 new achievements
New Minimalist music track
Balance
Helper Rarities have been rebalanced to reach a more balanced distribution. Previously the majority of helpers were Rare and there were very few Common or Uncommon. We've adjusted it so that generally Commons are simple and useful in almost any build, Uncommons are more specialized but still simple, and then Rares are more complex or contain multiple effects. The new distributions are as follows:
Common: 10 (was 6)
Uncommon: 28 (was 10)
Rare: 28 (was 41)
Legendary: 30 (was 27)
Mythic: 8 (unchanged)
The following Helpers are now Common (instead of Uncommon):
Extendo Top Hat
Doggie Treat
Infinite Mystery Box
Piggy Bank
The following Helpers are now Uncommon (instead of Rare):
Union Delegate
Emergency Egg
Chatterbox Kevin
An Expiring Feast
Travel Trash Dog
Pillow of Softness
Chew Toy
Crunchwrap Supreme
Processing Factory
Baker's Mitt
Cornucopia
Tenderizer
Salad Spinner
Jimmy Jar
Mushroom Grow Kit
Market Basket now makes Raw crates more common in the shop
Soy Sauce Fish gained Seafood tag
Soy Sauce Fish is unlocked by one of the new ingredients
Previously it was unlocked by Salmon, which now unlocks another new ingredient so you will need to re-unlock Soy Sauce Fish
Scissors are now unlocked by Pizza Pocket instead of Skewer
This unlock was one of the longest and most painful. It also unlocks one of the pantries so we decided to make it much easier. Now it's just Hash Brown -> Pizza Pocket -> Scissors
Again, you may need to reunlock it. Sorry about that, but it'll be better in the long run!
Another benefit is this should ensure chefs learn how to unwrap before they get Scissors
Plus we're rewarding your hard work with an achievement for unlocking Skewer!
Bug Fixes
Reworded Piggy Bank for clarity
Reworded the Founder/Finisher to say "to the ingredient taken first/last" (instead of to each)
Fixed bug where you could get a duplicate Legendary Helper from the take random choice
Fixed bug where bullies would bully ingredients that had lost their targeted tag (like a formerly Raw ingredient that's been Baked by Hot Pot)
Improved in-game Steam links so they open the app rather than your browser
You can test it by Wishlisting Big Dig :D
Fixed bug where some descriptions (like Cash Register) had 2 spaces instead of 1
Fixed bug where stamps would be unstamped on reload
Fixed some typos, miscapitalizations
Pricing
Decreased the price in Poland by 17% to match current currency conversion rates
Hello, chefs!
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/a4ccd9181936c39cf7405c8abd8c0395c5509c05.png"]
Today is a very happy day! We reached a milestone we never thought possible for our little omelet cooking game. 1,000 positive reviews on Steam! Thank you so much to every chef who's taken the time to leave a review, it helps the game reach more chefs!
Shortly after launch I made a promise to Hjalte and today that promise was kept. This video tells the story
[dynamiclink href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmdstRXuu34"]
We've also added Steam Community Items, including trading cards, badges, profile backgrounds, and more! You'll earn trading cards just for playing Omelet You Cook and you can spend Steam points or whatever they're called for some sick backgrounds and emotes.

Just look how beautiful this profile background is!

We also had time to put the demo back up on Steam! Go tell your friends to check it out!
Now that I have my own Steam Deck (shoutout Valve), I've made some improvements to Steam Deck. Firstly, touch screen now works as it should. Secondly, I've adjusted click-drop to be a bit more logical.
[img src="{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45193829/edafdb6782c61b892f697366d4382a25b1ec3269.png"]
Hjalte and I will be taking the next couple weeks a bit easier. My main priority is fixing any bugs you report and listening to your feedback so I understand what I should prioritize for the coming updates.
Lastly, we're running a bracket to determine the MOST BELOVED ingredient amongst all chefs. Please join us on Discord and check out the poll channel to get involved. Since there's 144 ingredients, we'll be running March Madness-style brackets for each food category and then pit the winners of each category against one another to determine the ultimate champion.
Join us on Discord to vote for your favorite ingredient.
I'm convinced y'all are the nicest community on Steam. Thanks for supporting us, chefs! See y'all in March
Happy cooking,
-Chef Schu
