Burger Chef is a retro arcade game inspired by the classic 1982 BurgerTime. Play as a determined little chef working through 5 increasingly chaotic levels, dropping burger ingredients onto waiting plates while dodging a relentless crew of angry food enemies.

How to play

Walk across burger ingredients — buns, patties, lettuce, and cheese — to send them crashing down to the plates below. Drop ingredients onto enemies to squash them for bonus points. Use your pepper spray to stun enemies when they get too close, but use it wisely — you only get a limited supply each level.

Features

  • 5 hand-crafted levels that ramp up in difficulty
  • 3 enemy types: hotdogs, pickles, and eggs — each with different speeds
  • Pepper spray mechanic for stunning enemies
  • Stacked burger display — watch your completed masterpiece build up at the bottom
  • Bonus food items for extra points
  • Retro CRT visual style with chiptune-style background music
  • High score tracking

Tips

  • Walk an ingredient all the way across to drop it — each section must be stepped on
  • Drop an ingredient while an enemy is underneath to score a big bonus
  • Chain multiple ingredient drops in quick succession for a combo bonus
  • Enemies speed up in later levels — plan your route before they corner you

A love letter to classic arcade gaming. Best played with retro music on.
