Soon, through some strange twist of events, you meet a local tiki god and he is so impressed with your cooking prowess that he offers you additional recipes for purchase. You begin with 3 recipes: the basic hamburger, ketchup fries and a vanilla shake. So the place is a little run-down and lacks a bustling tourist trade, but you can bring it back to the height of its glory and that's your goal. At the end of the day, they are so pleased with your performance that they give you the business! If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You snag a job helping an elderly couple run their beach burger shack. You are Patty Melton, a lovely young girl shipwrecked on the island of Tikikola. So the story goes a little something like this. Oh and then there's the tiki god who mumbles happily and incoherently when a new recipe becomes available, but more on that later. He pops his head in to wrap up the orders and process them on, so you'll see his face a good bit. He will berate you when you screw up and praise you when you excel. He is completely annoying and also really funny, as he mumbles in French. He begins the game with a tutorial, teaching you the ways of the grill and beyond. Pretty much the only voiceover is Pierre, your guide.

Sound effects include timers going off, meat sizzling deliciously, fries frying and shakes being blended, along with delightful music tinkling and ambient customer noises dotting the background.

Your customers are varied and entertaining in appearance and your main character is absolutely kewpie doll adorable. Although the concepts are somewhat similar, Burger Island is a game all its own.Īs far as locales, you'll be spending your time looking at either a grill, a fryer or a counter, so you probably won't have too much time to see the various customers munching on their chow and filtering in and out. When I first opened up Burger Island, I was expecting something of a Cake Mania clone.
