Burger Games Online: Stack, Cook and Serve Burgers
Updated
Burger games online split into two groups: in stacking, catching and running games you gather and pile up ingredients, and in shop games customers order burgers and you cook, build and serve them. Most play with a mouse click or a tap, and one runner also takes the A and D keys or the arrow keys. Below are the kinds, with games from the catalog.
Kinds of burger games
| Kind | What you do | Try first |
|---|---|---|
| Stack | Pile toppings as high as the stack will stand | Sky Burger Online |
| Catch | Move left and right to catch falling ingredients | Sky Burger |
| Run | Run forward and collect ingredients to match a recipe | Build a Burger |
| Burger shop | Build burgers to order for customers | Funny Burger Shop |
Burger shops are one branch of the cooking games category. Some of the stacking, catching and running games sit in the arcade and hypercasual categories.
Stacking games
In stacking games you pile ingredients onto a burger; in catching games the ingredients fall and you move to meet them.
- Burger Mania asks you to keep piling toppings "as high as they'll go until it collapses under the weight of that mighty burger party". The page adds that customers will have high expectations, and the game plays with a left mouse click.
- Sky Burger Online lists beef, cheese, eggs, lettuce and other vegetables, and says to keep adding "as long as they stand". It plays with a tap.
- Hoho's Burger Stacko has you stack a burger and serve it to the customer, and a well-made stack earns more money. You drag with the mouse or with a finger.
Catching and running games
- Sky Burger drops ingredients from the sky. Each level has a set number of missions, you must collect a certain amount of each ingredient, and you move your base object left and right to catch them, using the mouse.
- Build a Burger is a runner. You run forward, collect ingredients according to the recipe and upgrade your burger to make it bigger, dodging obstacles on the way, and at the end you feed your giant burger. On a phone you swipe left or right; on a computer you move the burger sideways with the mouse or use A and D or the arrow keys.
Burger shop games
In a shop game a customer asks for a burger, and you cook, build and serve it. The pages describe the same loop in slightly different ways.
