Hello cook, welcome to your first day on the job. Read the below instruction manual on how to NOT get fired:

• Your task is to make as many burgers as you can.

Get to work, by the way PTO is not given.

Design and Story:

The design of this game world evokes the ambiance of a classic American diner, featuring tiled floors and creating a nostalgic feeling for the player. The storyline of 'The Hamburger Company' centers on a minimum-wage employee newly hired as a chef, who must quickly learn to scramble and make burgers under pressure.

Game Play Goal: 

The gameplay goal of 'The Hamburger Company' focuses on problem-solving. Players are cast in the role of a chef who must assemble burgers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Depending on the level, players find themselves either in a classic American diner with tiled floors or a rustic wooden diner, where they must complete their task of burger assembly until they are ready to 'clock out'.

User Experience: 

Our goal was to create a game that is straightforward and easy to understand, allowing players to engage mindlessly until they decide they've had enough and are ready to 'clock out.' The controls are intentionally simple: use WASD or the Arrow Keys to move, and press ESC to bring up the timecard when you're ready to return home.
