The gameplay is characterized by a simplistic and linear loop where players gradually unlock more tables and ingredients without significant improvements or complexity. Players primarily engage in a memory-based mechanic, memorizing customer orders while assembling burgers, which some find intriguing but ultimately leads to a repetitive and primitive experience. Overall, the gameplay lacks depth and variety, raising questions about its appeal.
“Gameplay consists of customers showing up, ordering a burger (never more than one and never soda or fries), clicking on the correct ingredients in the correct order to make the burger, and then dragging and dropping it to the customer.”
“So gameplay is extremely primitive, and the developers decided to make it as difficult as possible, mainly by turning it into a memory game where you have to memorize orders before adding ingredients, as you can't see order information while in the cooking menu.”
“That's the whole gameplay loop right there: you eventually get more tables and more ingredients, but that's it. It's just a linear difficulty curve with no gameplay improvements along the way.”
“Let's talk about gameplay first: in making the burger, you... don't actually make the burger, technically speaking.”
“Gameplay consists of customers showing up and ordering a burger (never more than one and never soda or fries). You click on the correct ingredients in the correct order to make the burger, then you have to drag and drop it on a customer.”
