NAME¶
burgerspace - A hamburger-smashing video game
SYNOPSIS¶
burgerspace
DESCRIPTION¶
BurgerSpace is a game where you are a chef and you must walk over
hamburger ingredients (buns, meat, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese) to make them
fall from floor to floor, until they end up in the plates at the bottom of the
screen. Use the
arrow keys to move the chef.
However, you must do this while avoiding terrible enemies, such as eggs,
sausages and pickles. You will die if they touch you, but you can spray pepper
on them with the
Control key to paralyze them temporarily.
Use those pepper shots sparingly because you only have a limited number of them.
Pick up the treat that appears from time to time to obtain a new pepper shot.
A two-player game is possible using the (experimental) networked version of
BurgerSpace. See the
burgerspace-server(6) manual page or the BurgerSpace Home
Page for details.
Use the
Escape key to quit the program. To pause the game (which is only
possible in stand-alone mode), use the
P key to pause the game and to
resume it afterwards.
