Yes. Two players can play PKKP: CookDuo co-op on one iPad: same screen.

Our review

CookDuo is fun and easy to play with two, and very easy to get into. Co-op is simple to start: you choose it on the main screen and get going right away.

Each player gets one half of the screen. One is the cook, the other is the waiter, and the better you work together, the more points you get. It is definitely fun in co-op.

The art style is not my personal favorite. And it is the kind of game where you act out a service job, so it essentially feels like work. That is not my type of game. But if you enjoy quick order and time management games, the kind of cooking and farming games where you race to fill orders, you will probably enjoy this one too.

I personally did not love it, but co-op works very well, and you understand it instantly.
