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 the lobby type to public to turn your game into multiplayer!
The map select has changed a bit as well, previously there were 2 separate designs for the map select, depending on whether you were playing singleplayer or multiplayer, not anymore.
The inventory tab is still the same overall, but you are now able to change your outfit even if you are in a lobby with other people.
Multiplayer improvements
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 cream map Many people were also reporting the ice cream map to be a laggy mess, and we agree, so of course we have also remade every system for that map, so now it will run smoothly.
Ships and Oceans DLC Some people were experiencing problems with the crates on Ships and Oceans DLC maps, where items wouldn’t attach to the crates, which has also been fixed.
DLC maps complete makeover
We have completely reworked all of the maps for the Space and beyond DLC, and the Drinks and bars DLC. Both for the regular gamemodes as well as the catering gamemode, when you play the game now, you will see the new maps, and their great visual improvement.
We've also done some upgrades to some of the other maps, this includes Freddy's fried chicken, and the Ships and oceans DLC.
We've remade the maps, while still trying to keep the original floor layout, in order to not confuse anyone who are used the old maps.

Mop it up!
We are excited to announce the new features in one-armed cook! We have made additions to the drinks and bars DLC as well as the base game!
In the Drinks and bars DLC you are now able to spill drinks, and mop up your mess, but watch out, if you don’t mop up the spill, it will attract rats.
Feeling thirsty? you can now have a taste of the wonderful drinks you create, but don’t get carried away, drinking too much will get you drunk!
If you leave spilled drinks or food on the floor, the customers will now take notice, that’s because a brand new addition to the customer review system has been made, now reviews will affect an overall score for the restaurant and once you complete a level a score of 0-5 stars will be given based on the average reviews of the customers in that game.
These reviews will be displayed in the menu. When you go to select a level, you can now see your star-highscore under the map icon.
In addition to these new features, we have also fixed some bugs and tweaked some things.
Full list of changes: + Added spills and mops in drinks DLC + Added the ability to get drunk in drinks DLC + Added rats to drinks levels + Added customer review scores
* Reduced customer timers in all drinks levels * Food items now display their cook state * Fixed food triggering rat spawn when in box/crate * Fixed fire spawning in walls * Fixed order food screen closing when order is in progress * Fixed icons for pizza dough and sauce on pizzeria map * Fixed items getting stuck in trash can * Fixed pizza dough roller bugs * Fixed missing fire extinguisher on Cruise ship sushi map * Other minor bug fixes
