Playing “Make The Burger” Because It Looked Cool, and it Kinda Was

Welcome to my post about Make the Burger. This game's release date on Nintendo Switch occurred this week, although it has a presence on Steam and ItchIO as well. This is a casual food truck sim with catchy and fun pixel environments and a line-up of hungry and paying illustrated customers. Your entire success is dependent on your ability to remember ingredient symbols and who ordered them. Take orders from customers to cook the burgers they want as accurately and quickly as possible. Upgrade your establishment each day by using funds to purchase new ingredients, furniture, and various tools of the trade. Each session starts at the beginning and it's up to you to play as casually or seriously as you'd like.

Is Pizza Express the Predecessor to Good Pizza, Great Pizza?

My hunger for low-res grounded pixel games lately opened me up to a stellar sale on a game called Pizza Express.

I enjoyed it very much, so I've decided to bring this review of it together for your reference. Please enjoy.

This is a concept with high sophistication for such an independent effort. And its bits and baubles are as shiny as the top contenders.

Planet Zoo Remains A Suprisingly Pleasant Favorite

Planet Zoo is a zoo simulator. You can play in either career, challenge, or sandbox mode. A lot of it can be played online, but it's not necessary. I played for a couple of hours in career mode. It's one of the few times where I've played a game tutorial and felt like I was doing some positive with my time by learning to play a game. That's just the way this game is. Personal revelation: I love animals! Always have, and always will. When I travel, one of my first attractions is usually a zoo, aquarium, or natural history…
