User Rating:This one got me really confused at the start. It took me quite a while to figure this puzzle game out. In Burger Cat, players take control of a burger flipping cat as it navigates around the level field to get past obstacles and claim its lost burgers.
The control system really had me confused and frustrated. To start off with, Burger Cat is one of those games where you interact directly with the environment and reshape the landscape so while your character moves in a preprogrammed path to interact with the changes you made. As a result, players are granted access to a huge assortment of tiles and accessories to aid in bringing the cat to the end of the map. This can prove a challenge even at the start of the game because it is extremely confusing and very difficult to get accustomed to.
As far as visual effects are concerned, Burger Cat is your typical 2D side-scrolling platform with cartoonish graphics that will appeal to children. Focusing on the cute factor, this game will reach out to the young ones, if they do not get frustrated with the ever so difficult game play.
Even for $0.99, it would be wise to give careful consideration before purchasing Burger Cat. Although that one dollar may not mean much to some users, but that same dollar can also purchase a lot of other better apps out there on the app store. I was expecting more from this, so Burger Cat did some across quite a disappointment to me.
