What is "Burgerama"? "Burgerama" is a little fast food restaurant where you can become employed as a lowley Crew boy and can progress to become the BIG BOSS. Tons of fun are guaranteed!

"Burgerama" is coming soon and the developers are currently looking for a few brave souls - beta testers that is. If you would like to know how to make a career be the first take a look at "Burgerama" and let us know.

One more thing, you can get "Burgerama" right now only for $7.95, but be in a hurry because it will cost twice more after release.

I would like to test this game out. I love Lemonade Tycoon so this is right up my alley.

There's no beta testing file to download...

I signed up on the 8th and got an email that the beta should be available on the 9th. I guess they must've ran into a problem somewhere.

I have a couple of games from this company and they are good, so I am really looking forward to Burgerama.

Well! Sorry for the delay .

We think there are a lot of bugs in this version, but it is interesting for us to know is this game that interesting?:)

Here is our beta-version of Burgerama:

It seems to me that all of you are experienced beta-testers, but I wrote some questions for you:

1) Is it interesting to play Burgerama?
2) What bonuses can you propose for this game after performing the rush orders?
3) Do you like colors of this game? If you don't what kind of color spectrum can you propose.
4) Would you like to hear some soundtracks while you are playing?
5) What can you propose to improve the gameplay of Burgerama?

Please help us and we will make the game you'll love.:)

I think Burgerama has potential. The instructions need to be polished some - it took me awhile to figure out what I had to do.

I think some sort of soundtrack would be great. A lot of handheld games are including them now and I think it really improves the gaming experience.

I would like to hear some different sound effects when I get a combo/bonus. Maybe a cha-ching, like a cash register or something. I don't know. Something that makes it special.

So far the game has a quick Pace, but is lacking in the sound department. As above stated it needs sounds. The colors are a little dull, bring them up a notch, a brighter palette would be appreciated.

The first level I was able to figure out what to do, but the second level my assignment was like this:

oo
oo

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 ;)

The pattern could have a fancier look. I know it's difficult to make it look better because it could be any combination of the same tile but as it is now it looks to dull.

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...

The cash register could look better when you would see some coins growing while filling up the register. I know there are some sort of lights now, but it would look better (I think) when one could see how much they would need to proceed to the next light.

This is my first impression. I hope you can do something with it. Thanks for your time.

Thank's for your fresh ideas I'll give them to our developers.

It's just a beta, so we are trying to fix the bugs that you've already found:)
