Top 5 Overcooked Levels That Will Make Or Break Your Friendship

There has been a criminal lack of games being released in the, often-overlooked, couch co-op category in the last few years. A recent shining example of this genre is 2016’s Overcooked, where you and up to 3 friends prepare and serve meals. It sounds easy, but well designed levels make for poorly designed kitchens. Add in a looming time limit and it makes it all the more frantic!

If you decide to play it for yourself, or have already beaten it and just want to reminisce, then here’s the top 5 Overcooked levels that will make or break your friendship. Ready, Steady, Cook!

Level 1-3

This is the first time you’re faced with a level that moves. Up until now you and your friends could just pick a station, do your job and get by. No longer. This is going to require coordination and communication. As the ship sways from side to side the middle aisles sway with it. Your team must pick your positions carefully and doing badly can be controller breakingly frustrating, so better hope you’re all on the same page!

Level 2-1

Another moving level, but this time you can’t just walk around if you mess up. The level splits in half for 30 seconds, every 30 seconds! So if you and your mates all decide to occupy one truck when they separate; all you can do is watch helplessly for 30 seconds… Cue arguments about who was meant to be looking after the, now on fire, truck!

Level 3-1

The floor is slippy and there’s barely room to move around each other without falling into the icy sea. Best policy here is to decide on a direction to move in and both go that way. This will mean your paths won’t cross and you won’t be knocking each other into the sea! This has its own problem if one of you is slower than the others and holds the whole thing up. Without some patience and understanding this could be a slippery slope for your team’s ongoing friendship.

Level 4-4

Now you’re totally separated with the only way of passing food between you being a conveyor belt. A conveyor belt that someone has very carelessly put a bin at the end of! If you miss your chance to grab your friend’s carefully prepared salad, it’s in the bin and irretrievable. The sting here is that it is only your friends who can save what you’ve made, any food let go a personal betrayal. It’s sure to grind some gears.

Level 6-3

As Overcooked levels go, adding frogger to the formula doesn’t make this any easier. Now it takes skill, and timing, to get from one part of the kitchen to another. Everyone has to be on top of their game otherwise they, and anything they were carrying, sink to the bottom of the river. Maddening.

Having said all that, the rewards are sweeter for all the trouble. Any rage felt converted into relief and pride in a job well done. By the end of this you and your friends will be soul-bond levels of connected or no longer on speaking terms. Let’s hope for the first one. Now get out there and 3 star every level ya salad dodgers!
