Omelet You Cook is a roguelike where you tackle making the eponymous snack for hungry customers, picking from constantly rotating and ceaselessly chaotic ingredients, and since fully launching, it's doing some numbers on Steam.
In fact, the game went into 1.0 only yesterday, February 8, and has slid right onto the New and Trending chart on Steam's homepage, per time of writing. This means the indie project has garnered a significant amount of attention, with the algorithm then deciding to hoist into a more prominent view. Only 1.0 releases are eligible for one of these slots, and the ten games are shown in chronological order.

Transitioning into full release proved tricky too, due to the conundrum of finding a safe window to come out. First, the team moved to avoid Slay the Spire 2, but then that moved to make way for Silksong, leaving Omelet You Cook in the hard position of having to come out earlier than planned.
Luckily, everyone managed to pull it off, but getting this far was a bit like a run of Balatro in itself. Speaking of, the wacky poker-like provided a lot of influence to this omelet-related venture, since your ingredients impact your scoring in increasingly obtuse ways.
Doing well is a tall order, just like cooking in real life. It seems plenty have been testing their omelet making prowess; it's definitely less messy than getting the eggs out in real life.
