I'am a developer myself and very secure in testing applications and trying things normal users won't do to make a product more stable. I'am glad you liked the comments.

How many beta's are you planning and on what term are they coming out?

I was playing level two, and all of a sudden the today screen popped up on top of the game less the task bar. The menu bar was visible and where the task bar should be was part of the game screen underneath. Required a soft reset.
It happened again in the second level, but this time I was able to use my menu program to start again. Very annoying!

And no matter what I did making this pattern the program refused to wipe those tiles from the board. However, sometimes the tiles did disappear but in complete random order from the board without visible pattern. I was as such unable to complete level 2.

The part of the screen where the pattern is displayed could have a caption to describe the function. The tutorial mentions it to be on the left corner... As I see it it's placed on the bottom right ;)

You know, I couldn't get past level 2 either! I did figure out the "pattern", though. You have to have two groups of 4 of the same items. EX:

11 22
11 22

After you make that second group of 4 items, 2 from each group disappear. It's kind of funky.

I am confused what this game has to do with ordering. As far as I can tell is all you do is match the pattern of the circles. In level 1, what is the point of having the ice cream cones come up when you click on the circles

I too am having the same problems with level two. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Once I get to level two, I start playing and then all of a sudden I am kicked out of the game. The main dashboard comes up but your game is showing behind it as a wizbar skin. I click on the game icon and I am brought back to the end of Level 1 where I have to play some more to get back into level 2.

I don't understand the tutorial. It really doesn't tell you how to play the game, just a little about it. There should be a practice round with the tutorial or just call it a help file.

I think once you iron things out, this is going to be a fun game.

To Ivar:
"I don't know if it's implemented already but it might be an idea to make the character on top right (Which represents me) look more and more important every level you pass. Right now the character looks like a school boy and at the end it should look like a real boss. Just an idea..."

This is the bug's fault you didn't see the character more .... important :) Our boy changes during all the game.

To Ivar:
"How many beta's are you planning and on what term are they coming out?"

Do you mean beta of Burgerama? We are planing to give you another beta soon with fixed bug. I'll post it in this forum.
For beta-testers who help us like you and people in this forum we'll give Burgerama for free.

To Blang:
"I don't understand the tutorial. It really doesn't tell you how to play the game, just a little about it. There should be a practice round with the tutorial or just call it a help file"

We'll make step by step tutorial like in other our games:)

The bug that throws you out of the game in level two seems to have to do with the speed you are playing. I was able to get much farther if I played slower, but of course that isn't the object of the game.

01-16-04, 09:33 AM

We've fixed that bug.
Please try again:)

1. I was able to get through most of level 2 and not get kicked out.

2. When you select a food and then chance your mind, you should be able to select it again and it should stop pulsating. It the movement doesn't stop, it is confusing and you are not sure if you can select another piece.

3. Will you being adding any vocal sounds as you give the people orders?

4. When you see icecream cones, what does that mean? Nothing appears to be happening that is different.

5. What does it mean when you see "Combo".

01-16-04, 10:42 AM

1. Great. But we've fixed this bug and now you can download new beta.
2. Any suggestions?:) How can you stop it in another way?
3. I asked our developers the same question. They told me: yes, there will be special sound.
4. When you perform special order with ice-cream you should receive more points/money for such order.
5. It means that you did well with order:)

Looks like the fix has been done for the level two. It would be nice to know what score you need to go from level to level.

Hello,

I grabbed the game and started right in. I did not read any instructions and so far the game has been easy to understand. I am already to level three.

One thing I would like to see is some kind of pause between levels. I know there is a screen that shows up after each level, but I was busy trying to set up patterns, and actually clicked through the screen without seeing what it had to say. Maybe a wait for 5 seconds and some kind of bonus tallying during this time would add to the anticipation of what you accomplished duing the level (number of combos ... and such). Then ... after the delay you could accept a tap on the screen to start the next level.

I also would like to see some sort of meter showing how much you have left before a round is completed.
(edit.... Oops! that's what the lights on the register are for)

Great game so far!

joelw135 · 01-16-04, 04:05 PM

I think the game is fast moving, but it lacks completion in the explanation phase. It should explain what the bonus is and combination is etc. You don't have to be brilliant to play but better docs would help. I started playing and before long an hour had passed, so the game is not boring.

01-16-04, 04:23 PM

1. Yes, I have the latest download.

2. If you tap on the object, it should just stop pulsating.

4. I am very confused on what makes a special order. All I do is match the three circles. I think I am missing the point of the game. Please explain.

Thanks,

Ivar · 01-16-04, 06:03 PM

It might be handy to have some "cheat" option during the beta to skip a few levels to also test the further levels and offcourse the handling of the end when you become "the boss". So far so good with this version, I was able to get to level 4 before my time ran out (Not the level time, my real life time ;))

Keep going!

joelw135 · 01-17-04, 09:33 AM

Now that the fix corrected being kicked out of the game I have been playing for hours, and not a problem. to sum it up, the program needs.

1. Better Sound effects
2. Better instructions
3.Better graphics for the cash register
4. A brighter color pallet
5. Counter telling you how many points needed to next level.
