BURGERSPACE(6)

NAME
burgerspace - a BurgerTime(TM) clone

SYNOPSIS
burgerspace

DESCRIPTION

burgerspace is a game where you are a chef and you must walk over hamburger ingredients (buns, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese) to make them fall from floor to floor, until they end up in the plates at the bottom of the screen. Use the arrow keys to move the chef.

However, you must do this while avoiding terrible enemies, such as eggs, sausages and pickles. You will die if they touch you, but you can spray pepper on them with the Control key to paralyze them temporarily.

Use those pepper shots sparingly however, because you only have a limited number of them. Pick up the treat that appears from time to time to obtain a new pepper shot.

Use the P key to pause the game, and to resume it afterwards. Use the Escape key to quit the program.

BUGS
The sound effects may be annoying.

High scores are not remembered.

No attempt was made to emulate the exact behavior of the enemies in the original game.

The meat looks rather unsavory, not to mention what it really looks like. This is one image that was not drawn by Luce...
