The gameplay is characterized by a relaxing, click-and-drag mechanic that allows players to enjoy a variety of cooking tasks without the pressure of timers, making it accessible and enjoyable. While the game introduces new ingredients and challenges as players progress through different planets, some users noted that the mechanics can become repetitive over time. Overall, the gameplay is polished and addictive, with a charming art style and options for both chill and more challenging experiences.
“It's an overall fun and relaxing game as far as gameplay goes.”
“The gameplay never gets dull because it's constantly adding new things as you play, such as new ingredients or new ways to serve.”
“Smooth, seamless, and addictive gameplay.”
“Although you have to wait until the patty is done, and you can't do anything except just waiting, which is a bad design for non-timed gameplay (for example, you can't read the recipe book because the game pauses).”
“It's all click-and-drag gameplay (more similar to games from the Flash site era), and they made the wise choice of giving customers infinite patience on the default difficulty.”
“However, these mechanics can start to become a bit repetitive once you've gotten used to the gameplay loop.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their cute and charming art style, with many users appreciating the endearing visuals and pixel graphics that enhance the cozy cooking experience.

“Galaxy Burger is such an amazing cozy cooking game, the graphics are good, cats are cute and they meow too!”
“The graphics are very cute and charming.”

“The characters, on the other hand, look like they were taken from another game (different style, strange graphics issues, they don't fit into the game at all and look pretty weird).”
“The graphics are adequate for what the game is.”
“A very good game to relax to that could use a few quality of life updates - it feels like money doesn't have many uses since there's no upgrades or aesthetic items to purchase.”

The game is generally perceived as fun and cute, but it features a significant amount of grinding, which can be tedious and slow-paced, especially for players aiming to 100% complete it. While casual players may not mind the grind, those seeking deeper engagement may find it repetitive and lacking in variety, particularly when playing solo. Overall, the grind is a notable aspect that could benefit from improvement.
“This game is very fun and cute, but it's also extremely grindy. I don't think the grind aspect of the game is a huge deal if you are just playing casually, but if you are playing to 100% it, you're going to be putting a good amount of hours into it just grinding.”
“Gonna try grinding it out a bit more, but it seems a bit too slow-paced for me, to the point of being a bore.”
“Slow progress, repetitive and tedious.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with reviewers noting the absence of a plot, music, or meaningful progression. While some appreciate the simplicity for casual play, many express a desire for more engaging content, such as a story mode or thematic missions. Overall, the narrative elements are minimal and do not contribute significantly to the gameplay experience.
“I'd also be down to play in a story mode... but it being simple as is is also nice!”
“I would love to see some kind of space missions in the future, where you're making special kinds of burgers in batches or something!”
“There really isn't any music or story or really just anything; it's just a cooking game that is quite repetitive, and in my opinion, the economy system is broken.”
“There's no story progression, or really a difficulty scale per se.”
“Well, there's not much to this game in terms of plot or challenge, but if you're just looking for something to kill a few minutes with, it's ok.”

Overall, the game is described as hilarious and entertaining, particularly in a multiplayer setting, despite some early stages feeling a bit too easy.
“I love the cute robo-cat you have to feed, and how some clients have special requests (5 bottom breads, seriously? And why do they want the top to be grilled, but not the bottom? 5 steaks? Why?) I always find it funny when they ask for a cheeseburger without the cheese, which is in the name.”
“It's hilarious to see people with a lack of coordination and bad memory (that would be me) playing it, lol.”
“This game is funny; there is a lot to discover.”

Players express frustration with the monetization strategies in games like "gpgp," citing excessive microtransactions, intrusive pop-ups, and the difficulty of obtaining event items without paying for them later as DLC. In contrast, some players prefer alternatives like "good pizza, great pizza," which do not feature microtransactions or battle pass systems, offering a more straightforward gaming experience.
“I like this better than Good Pizza, Great Pizza because there's no microtransactions and no battle pass system like GPGP.”
“I like this better than Good Pizza, Great Pizza because there's no microtransactions and no battle pass system like GPGP.”
“I was a long-time player of gpgp, but over the years they got really pushy and overwhelming with microtransactions and tons of pop-ups. It's frustrating when they say, 'Oh, pay $3 to make your oven go faster for the day!' Additionally, they made it nearly impossible to collect all the event items, only to release them later for a ridiculous price as DLC if you 'didn't manage to get everything.'”
