There are few things more stereotypically American than burgers, except for maybe apple pie. But since there hasn’t yet been a game called Apple Pie Time, we’ll have to make do with this one.
Burgertime takes the concept of making burgers and instead of taking this concept to its logical extreme, the game takes it to its completely illogical, crazy extreme.
I was never able to figure out if your character was a tiny chef or if the food was just gigantic, but I suppose it doesn’t really matter. what does matter is that you have a series of ladders with buns, meat, an lettuce on them. Your job is to assemble the giant burgers by walking along the pieces and making them fall down one level, and eventually create completed burgers.
Hindering you are foods that are the same size as our hero: Mr. Egg, Mr. Pickle, and Mr. Hot Dog. They will chase you down and if they touch you, they’ll kill you. Your only weapons are a shaker of pepper with an extremely limited amount of shakes (this will stun the enemy foods) and the actual giant hamburger components (these will squish and temporarily incapacitate the enemy foods).
Your goal is to just last as long as possible, create as many burgers as you can, and get lots of points. Oh, and to try and not go crazy watching the undulations of an ambulatory tube steak.
