Math Burger

Fast-food is a pretty modern invention, given the fact that in the past people were obviously not able to just pick up food from street vendors or even order it to their house. Naturally, the downside to having food at your disposal at any given time is that it’s far easier to exaggerate, especially if you do not have actual meals in-between the pizza runs or the McDonald’s stops.

Math Burger is a time management game in which you play the role of a worker trying to keep up with clients by serving them the desired burgers. The goal is to obtain a certain number of points until the timer runs out, and the only way to achieve that is to move really quickly and pay attention to what every client wants. The difficulty increases later on as well, so it’s not as easy as it may be at first.

Every customer demands a different type of burger, and you have to arrange the ingredients according to their wishes. Hence, some may only want pickles between the buns, while others are liable to order entire towers of meat, onion and cheese. Obviously, the more complex the order, the more money you receive if you get it right, which means that the rewards scale with difficulty.

Besides the fact that more ingredients become available later on, it’s also worth pointing out that the customers start to come in larger numbers too. Hence, after the first handful of levels you usually have a line forming at the counter, and they can become pretty upset if you ignore them for too long. Hence, speed is the most important element, because a mistake is not that bad if you can keep up the pace.

As for the graphics, things are about as simple as the gameplay, which is not a bad thing. However, there’s very little diversity as you keep advancing, which can make the experience very boring very quickly. It would be nice to tackle different types of food or serve different customers, but nothing really changes as you move through the levels, which is pretty frustrating.

In the end, Math Burger gets rather stale after only a few minutes, which is not a good sign for a time management flick. Hence, you may want to take more breaks than usual in order to avoid becoming too bored with the game to continue.
