Hi everyone! It's @owaiso here! I recently posted a cooking game called UNDERCOOKED, where you cook various recipes using simple ingredients as fast as you can! While it seems simple at first glance, the game actually has a ton of different strats you can use to lower your times. Drop any tips and strategies you discover right here!
皆さん、こんにちは！@owaisoです。最近、料理ゲーム UNDERCOOKED を公開しました！シンプルな食材を使って、様々なレシピをできるだけ素早く調理するゲームです。一見シンプルに見えますが、実はタイムを縮めるための戦略やテクニックがたくさんあるんです。発見したコツや攻略法があれば、ぜひここに書き込んでくださいね！

i got 126.42

this is my best for level 1 single player, which helped me get the best time for level 1 that I know of, 89.32. STRATEGY: so basically at the start, walk to the right side and quickly lay down 4 plates. next, cut the lettuce, and put 1 on each plate. next, pick up one plate with the lettuce and turn it in, wait for the dirty plate to arrive, then pick it up and wash it. while it's washing, cut a tomato, put it on a plate with the lettuce, and cut 3 more, 2 on the lettuce plates, and pick up the plate from the sink and put a tomato on it. finally, you wash 2 plates, and cut up the tomatoes and lettuce, place it on those plates, then turn them in and your done (i'm sorry if this is confusing, it's kind of hard to explain)

Hey undercooked forum!

I just can't finish all the dishes in the first level

Did you wash the dirty plates in the sink? Once you submit a dish- the plate becomes dirty and you can't use it. You'll need to put it in the sink and press the ACT key to clean it.

@pikachu0601 beat their own world record, setting a time of 84.33! Here's the video they made of the record!: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/nezSXXLldUY

自分はステージ1で76秒を達成しました、コツとしては最初にトマトを2個切り、それを持って右側へ、そしてキャベツを切って3個のメニューを同時に送ります、その時に汚れた皿を一枚真ん中の区切りの上のマスに置き、左に行く時にもう一枚汚れた皿を持っていきます、そしてまたトマトを2個切り、右側に持っていきキャベツを切ってメニューを入れれば終わりです（I achieved 76 seconds in stage 1. As a trick, cut 2 tomatoes first, take them to the right, then cut the cabbage and send 3 menus at the same time. At that time, put a dirty plate on the square above the dividing in the middle, take another dirty plate when you go to the left, and then cut 2 tomatoes again, take them to the right, cut the cabbage and put the menu in. That's it.）（翻訳を通したものなので、文章が変かもしれません）（It's through translation, so the sentence may be strange）

@pikachu0601 74.41秒という新記録を樹立しました！！記録達成時の動画はこちらです！https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/youtube/FoAkFmdmzFw

I think I just found a new technique we can use to get lower times.
In level 1, when cleaning a plate, you can quickly place it two tiles above just by turning to face the top of the screen. So when we go to grab a tomato and cut it, we don't need to walk as much to reach the plate. I still kinda suck at speedrunning the game though- so I haven't gotten a good time with this strat- but I think using this idea of placing things in the middle of the screen to reduce walking times will be very helpful for runs. I got the idea when watching @pikachu0601's sub 70s world record (insane)!
(レベル1で皿を片付ける際、画面の上側を向くだけで、その皿を2マス上に素早く置くことができます。そうすれば、トマトを取って切った後、皿のところまで移動する距離を短縮できます。もっとも、私自身はまだこのゲームのスピードランがあまり上手くないので、この戦略を使って良いタイムを出せたわけではありませんが……。それでも、画面の中央付近に物を置いて移動時間を減らすというこの考え方は、今後のプレイに大いに役立つはずです。このアイデアは、@pikachu0601さんの70秒切り世界記録（本当に凄まじいプレイです！）を見ていて思いつきました。)

Toggle on the performance mode button in bottom left of the level select screen- It should reduce lag spikes while speedrunning!
(レベルセレクト画面の左下にあるパフォーマンスモードボタンをオンにしてください。スピードラン中のラグスパイクが減るはずです！)

Has anyone tried pre-cutting all the veggies so you don't have to go back and forth? I was watching @pikachu0601's 66.36 time for level 1, and it seemed like they were spending so much time walking around to cut things..
(何度も往復しなくて済むように、野菜をあらかじめ全部切っておくという方法を試した人はいますか？ @pikachu0601さんのレベル1のタイム66.36秒の動画を見ていたんですが、食材を切るためにあちこち歩き回るのにかなり時間を費やしているように見えたので…)

Watch one of the wr time videos I shared here! They serve as great tutorials!

Hi everyone! I just released 4 NEW LEVELS! ‘Steak & Fries’, ‘Burgers’, ‘Single Plate Panic’, and ‘Steak Mania’! The game has now reached 130+ unique objects, so there's bound to be some glitches with item interactions.. Please let me know if you find any issues Thanks!
If you have any suggestions for changes in the level design- I might implement them! I'd love to hear if you all find any new strategies for speedrunning all the new content!

皆さん、こんにちは！新しく4つのレベルを追加しました！「ステーキ＆ポテト」、「ハンバーガー」、「シングルプレート・パニック」、「ステーキ・マニア」です！ゲーム内のアイテムが130種類以上になったため、アイテム同士の動作によっていくつかバグ（不具合）が起きるかもしれません… もし何か問題を見つけたら教えてください
ありがとうございます！レベルデザインの変更について提案があれば、実装するかもしれません！新しいコンテンツのスピードランで新しい攻略法を見つけたら、ぜひ教えてくださいね！

Found a few bugs, this is for 2 player mode:
- Food list on left shows “steak”, “EMPTY GAP”, “Burger” upon starting the 5th level.
- On the 5th level, you are asked to make fries about halfway, but there are no potatoes available, although there is a fryer.
- Sometimes food can turn invisible when swapping the food with the fryer.

Sorry about that- I think I accidentally pushed out an older version of level five.. odd..
I'll get to fixing those issues! Thanks for the notice

I've fixed everything- I'm not fully sure if I solved the fryer issue though. Let me know

Thanks, most of it seems to be working now , but my food disappears (invisible) when i swap the fryer with fries and the plate of food.

On level 2, the sink is out of reach now as of this update, although it worked before this update.

Level 2 should be fixed the previous glitch you mentioned has not been fixed though..
