[b]Burger Patrol[/b] is a match-3 game where the gameplay loop revolves around combining ingredients in the correct order to assemble burgers, which rewards players with extra points and additional fuel. This fuel bar acts as a soft timer, while the mechanic of creating burgers introduces an extra layer of strategy beyond standard matching, making the gameplay feel more strategic and skill-based. Presentation is modest but effective. The art style, sound effects, and visual feedback are simple yet pleasant, contributing to an experience that feels polished despite its minimalist scope. Multiple game modes, including timed variants and fuel-limited endless runs, provide some variety and encourage different playstyles. Leaderboards further support replayability for those chasing high scores. Overall, Burger Patrol is a solid and enjoyable puzzle game that offers a refreshing variation on the genre. A title with tight gameplay and strategic depth that makes it worth playing for fans of the genre.

Good game. Gives me some vibes of Trip'd, the old 3DO game, mixed with Burger Time. There is a lot to keep track of and some moments it feels a little too easy on normal mode but suddenly things spiral out of control and it's game over. I wasn't sold on this on my first play but I'm enjoying more and more every time I load it up.

Update 7/11/25: The developer has addressed the issues outlined below and made the achievements more realistically attainable. Original Review: I love the aesthetic and gameplay. The sci-fi + food ingredient spin on an item matching game feels fresh, unique, and fun. I've been playing for 4 hours and was about to leave a positive review, but then I took a look at the achievements.... Based on the descriptions and % completed, the most difficult achievements are: (a) 10,000 Regular burgers (b) 5,000 Super burgers (c) Complete 1,000 missions (d) Pet the dog 100,000 times I estimated the time it would take to get these achievements from my experience so far: (a) and (b): On average, I’m completing a Regular Burger every 1.5 minutes and a Super Burger every 2.5 minutes. The math works out to 250 hours for 10,000 Regular Burgers and 210 hours for 5,000 Super Burgers. I don't think they stack either (like a super burger doesn't count towards the regular burger goal), so they're independent time commitments. That’s just an insanely unrealistic amount of time to commit to this game. (c) 1 mission takes 1 to 3 minutes, so an average of 1.5 minutes per mission is 25 hours to complete 1,000. That’s still quite grindy for a game as simple as this, especially considering there’s no campaign (the plot is just “travel home by matching ingredients”). (d) Pet the dog 100,000 times is obviously meant to be done with an auto-clicker. However, this isn’t a clicker game and petting the dog has no in-game benefit, so I don't know why the dev is making players download an auto-clicker and set it to run for an hour. As a person that likes to complete games, achievements that are so extremely arduous for no good reason feel like a punishment for players rather than an achievable goal. Lastly, my only real critique of the gameplay is that you can't rotate the pieces; you can only switch the ingredients' position. For example, if you have a vertical piece that is a tomato stacked on a bacon strip, you can't turn it horizontal, you can only flip the bacon strip to the top and the tomato to the bottom. This makes it significantly more difficult to actually craft burgers because the odds of getting the same vertical combo in a short enough time span to use it towards a burger is almost 0.

Hamburgers! Wow! And in outer space, no less. Plus dogs. If you love Tetris, hamburgers, outer space and dogs, you will love Burger Patrol.
