4th Star even possible?

[Akimbo Swords]

New game plus added the 4th star but it seems impossible to get it with two players.

These numbers are way too high. It's like the devs didn't even test it.

Anyone else feeling the same?

It's near impossible for single player too.
I think it was balanced for 4 players that are communicating with each other.

For the levels where a new recipe is introduced, the timer does not start until you deliver the first dish. You MUST use this extra time to prepare, by pre-chopping tons of ingredients and placing them in convenient locations. If you don't do this, it is completely impossible indeed.

Yes, we tried the lvl 1-1 at two players and the score requiered to have the 4th star is 2650 and we did 2000 missing nothing, it's way impossible to do it being 2 players.
Can you fix the score and update it for1 or 2 or 3 or 4 players cause is not really the same ^^
Btw the 4th star and so good idea

Yeah I tried it in solo to, the score is smaller but still impossible

What about the levels that don't include a tutorial? :(

Folks, my partner and I have finished most of the game. Some stages took us more than one attempt, but in the end we managed to get all the 4 stars. There are around 10 stages left now (we ran out of time), including the Kevin levels, but so far I don't think there's any score that is impossible to get.

Some are harder, some are easier. All it takes is a good strategy and decent planning.

Just like old games, you unlock this new difficulty by beating the game. It is not supposed to be easy or something you can achieve after playing the same level for 10 minutes.

Some tips: Always dash when moving around. Focus on the slowest ingredient. Throw stuff whenever possible (hold the throw button and aim for a second before throwing, so you don't miss).

I'm uploading daily platinum runs, for each stage (both solo and duos). You can check it out, steal some strategies, or even ask us to do a certain stage. We will happily help you all ^^

I get the impression that you need 1)Great attention to detail, 2)Great plans, 3)Great skill at moving quickly and precisely. Multiply that by however many people are playing. I miss stuff due to missing details. My partner doesn't tend to do that, but has trouble with the controls in such a fast-paced game. So yes, it is possible for certain teams of certain people to do it, but if you're asking if it is possible it may very well be functionally impossible for specific people. Especially if you are in co-op, because then your partner(s) need(s) to be that good as well.

That's not meant as an insult, neither my partner nor I are good enough in all three areas, nor are we likely to ever be if we don't devote a whole lot more of our free time to this game. Maybe even then it wouldn't be enough. I also agree with you about the devs seemingly not having tested it. Given the quality of the game in general I am betting they really did test it, but it doesn't feel that way.

[Andrast]

Yeah for sure, when you can prepare until timer start, is a way too easy to make it...

But that's is not a way to play a game, cause is just stacking food and serve it, there is no difficult when you need to do that to have the 4th star

[mi7spike]

We have done 1-1 without 'cheating' as it were with Two players. Get the first player to just chop fish and throw them across the room for the first X amount of time, while the other still hands in prawn and fish.

After which the other player can come over and just hand in, while the other still chops prawns.

This makes the whole process faster as you aren't wasting time walking across the room at the start.

Using a similar strategy for all levels so far in two player (only in world 1 thus far) - but they all need to be done almost perfectly to get the score it seems.

[Akimbo Swords]

@Andrast You can't do this with every level but mainly it seems like it loses a lot of fun to play it this way. But naturally we get around the same score around 2000 mark, so I don't know whatthey've based these numbers on.

@Nathaniel Prime Yeah the score should be a perfect service not cheat like.

@Irony I can only imagine what the later levels will be like >.<

I think this is a bad way of balancing, personally.

[Andrast]

yeah, balanced or not, you need to tryhard but very hard to have all stars, and that's not how we enjoy this game, cause, for me, it's a fun game, not a game where i need to try hard, to succes the game, that's not the most important on this game, the 4th is giving to us some difficult, but you re losing the fun of this game, cause for the 4th star no one talk and enjoy his game.... all are tryharding her tasks for the star and is like playing alone in a coop game...

[The Chiprel]

But 4th star is exactly for tryhards? Tryhard players asked developers for challenge since game is way too easy for them and now they have it. Well, just an option, you don't have to get 4 stars to finish the game.

[Andrast]

sure, but 3 stars are too easy, then 4 stars are impossible, chose a way where it's possible and where you have fun, not where you tryhard and the game become boring

[Akimbo Swords]

I don't like the idea of becoming a robot so that I can get the fourth star. This should be possible to achieve
and not have the fun sucked out of it.
