This feels like a very clever evolution of the "Luck be a Landlord" like gameplay. You're given a small amount of space (an omelet) to add ingredients to, 1 at a time from your deck of ingredients. At each turn you'll need to choose 1 of 3 of your collection of ingredients in which you need to factor things like positioning, how the various ingredients put in the omelet so far will work with this new ingredient, any …

Deckbuilding, pixel-fiddling, meta-progression, troll mechanics, tomatoes infused with the power of 1,000 suns. Why is there a coconut in my omelette? Who decides these recipes?! Fun + cozy. Very replayable. Crazy fox lady Kirsche says "Time for the omelet inspection!"

Wonderful game packed with math combo chaos, silly animals and even sillier ingredients. The replayability of this game is insane. The core mechanics are really easy to pick up but you WILL sink hours into calculating which ingredients are the best for the highest scoring build. The game also has multiple levels of difficulty and a relaxed mode so every gamer can find their perfect speed. And to top it all off, the …

Someone in the comments said it gave off Luck be a Landlord vibes with Balatro shop mixed in and that's completely true. I love both of those games and this meets all the standards of a quirky roguelike.

If you liked Balatro and enjoy cooking games, you'll really enjoy this game! I have bought many games the past year, and I always end up coming back to this game. And I haven't even played all the games I bought! ^^' This game satisfies my urge for roguelike deckbuilders and cooking games which is a combo I never knew I needed in my life until now. The pixel art is cute and perfect, and the music is fitting despite …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game! I like to made omelets for the animals. the animals are cute and seem nice, like they would be good friends. i don't know why some of them like to eat trash but some of them like to eat trash and that's very funny ha aha ahahahaha. I like this game. It makes me happy. if you like to be happy, you might like this game. i am 41 years old.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Found this game through Kirsche and I'm glad I did! Very much an easy to learn, difficult to master kind of game that's awesome to spend an hour or two at a time playing. The experience can be described as soft, yet crunchy and a little chewy - just like a well made omelet!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great fun game, watched vtuber Kirsche play it on 2/7/26 and saw how much fun she had with it and so i had to try it. Downloaded the demo and had a lot of fun, then bought it fully. Can say, the full game is harder than the demo, for some reason, but it is still VERY fun.

neutral · AI labelView post →A very charming take on a deckbuilding roguelike! I absolutely love the cute pixel art and the little blurbs about the customer's personalities, it really sells the setting! Perfectly captures the appeal of the Papa's series but brings a much more engaging gameplay loop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun bite-sized roguelite. Though ten hours in, you suddenly find yourself acting like a psychopath, trying to feed someone cans and wrenches. (that's fine – we'll just put some soft cheese underneath and get a bonus)

neutral · AI labelView post →I bought Omelet You Cook to support my friend Dan Schumacher and his dream of designing games. It's important to support indie games and your local community <3 I like the strategy of combing different cooking ingredients, it feels like a puzzle. And I like the silliness of the game, my pepper jack cheese was too spicy that it set other ingredients on fire and then the squid I wanted to serve started to swim away from the serving plate XD

neutral · AI labelView post →i play on turn-based mode, but there is a mode where you can play with the conveyor belt continuously moving or something like that, for added chaos. rest assured, chaos still abounds when your customers can: lay eggs, point at things, add trash to your pantry (who is letting these creeps into the pantry?), narc on their fellow students for not having hall passes, etc. may contain: wrenches, sun-dried tomatoes, trash, hot dogs, egg shells. you can't make an omelet without cracking some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I normally spend hundreds of hours min/maxing these Roguelike games, but there's just something about this game that doesn't quite click for me. I think it's the overall premise that loses me, I 'get' the gimmick of having everything on an omelette, but it's just not fun and not an enjoyable gameplay loop. Trying to cram pieces on a tiny little board is frustrating & unsatisfying, then the end result is very nonsensical & unappealing visually. The hunt for another Balatro continues on...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Omelet You Cook is a game I immediately fell in love with. Not only is it a great game mechanically, but it's fully confident in its own goofiness and is teeming with creativity, joy, and playful fun. It embodies what I personally love about video games, and it's in Early Access RIGHT NOW!!!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got dethroned from having 100% positive reviews. Womp Womp. The game is OK. Just OK. It's one of those games you play in the car when you are the passenger on a 4 hour long road trip to New Jersey or something. I wish there was a "random" option where you start with random ingredients and you face a random final boss. In balatro, the various Decks aren't really different playstyles, but more like starting out with a unique buff or something, like how you start with free Fool cards with Magic…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Saw the person that liked the game and gave a bad review on an article, thought this game would be a fun one to pick up for my wife because she loves cooking games and rougelikes the most. What I didnt expect was that I would get sucked in as much as I did. This game gives an excellent and chaotic experience and is 1000% worth the $12 price tag. Especially with all the content updates that have been coming out! Keep it up, this game is one of my favorite rougelikes of 2025

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Omelet You Cook is a good game. It has a boss chicken that judges your cooking and is as imposing as it is elegant. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev
positive · AI labelView post →Decided to buy it after watching a fox lady play the game, very easy to get into and learn, great for trying to get someone who thinks most games of the genre are 'too hard' to get into. gameplay is so intuitive that you can get by just by trying to make things look good even
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Light enough for a quick play between tasks or while waiting to go out, but deep enough to keep you coming back for the perfect build - Omelet You Cook is a quirky, cozy placement puzzle for fans of cooking indie games. Beware, this may be addictive (in the best possible way!)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →All my gay friends are playing this game rn, big hit among the gays (happy pride month) Great art and a good original idea, especially for a indie roguelike. Obviously made with a lot of love, it's quite fun and actually necessitates more strategy than first meets the eye. There's been a bunch of indie roguelites recently that attempt to add variety and replayability but a lot of the powerups/skills would feel the exact same. I can say that the devs here did it right for sure, great creative…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun semi-chaotic roguelike deckbuilder. Each run is different based on what synergies you get between your ingredients. Customer rules add more strategy and planning.

Pixel style games aren't really my preference, but it's playability totally threw that off for me. ·With a great sense of humour, this is more than simply playing memes. The game incorporates a large number of everyday ingredients, but pairs them with unique and hilarious models, effects and actions. ·Difficulty is divided into a very wide range of degrees from easy to hard, suitable for all casual and competitive players.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks to everyone who tuned into this week's Indie-licious. Omelet You Cook is tasty. It's not just another Balatro-like. The quick decision of ingredients and the way you arrange them is a satisfying challenge. Go check out this game! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev
positive · AI labelView post →I really wanted to like this game, cute graphics, unique game mechanics that center around where to place your ingredients. However, I think the game just has a slightly too sharp difficulty curve and too high a luck-to-punishment ratio for a casual strategy game. It's very fun at lower difficulty and honestly quite addictive. Yet as the difficulty increases, runs become more and more unwinnable without saveloading, since one mistake costs you the whole run but then your run also *heavily*…

neutral · AI labelView post →I want to say wholeheartedly that this has been one of my favourites to play casually. It's highly replayable, made with love by two devs who listen intently to their fanbase, including a very open line of dialogue which makes it feel very personable and transparent. Overall, a really good papa's pizzaria-like game, with elements of balatro that make it so much fun to make your omelette's the best they can be, even if they spelled it wrong in the title :) And with this review, there is now…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Strangely addictive to play already! This game feels fleshed out for an early access game, definitely already worth playing in its current state. A bit difficult at times, but fun mechanics and quite charming. My twitch chat enjoyed this game too!

neutral · AI labelView post →This immediately reminded me of Balatro. Omelet You Cook is a roguelike with a really good mix of chaos and control. Runs stay fresh with all the different combos and helpers. Seafood is fun and overpowered since it’s wiggly and can move your ingredients around, completely messing up your setup. Spicy ingredients add extra risk and reward, lighting things on fire for bonus points if you manage them right. Depth and progression are solid, and it never feels like too much to learn. My only issue…

My partner and I will just look at each other and say, "Time to make an omelet?" If you enjoy food and optimization, this is the perfect game. Alan is my little buddy and he DOES deserve a treat!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun and creative roguelite with a surprising amount of depth. I can't quite get the hang of the fast-paced real-time mode, so I'm glad there's a turn-based mode for someone who likes optimising things slowly!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super fun Balatro-esque by way of chaos omelettes. Supremely satisfying figuring out how the ingredients synergise together (shoutouts to the UI design for giving a good way of figuring out what will and won't work together at a glance), and just the right amount of absurdity in what it'll let you put on an omelette.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An absolutely delightfully silly cooking Balatro-like. There's nothing like serving kids a flaming bag of trash and a couple of fish bones and getting paid for it.
