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.
