BurgerTime Delight: Build Behemoth Burgers on Your Mobile Phone

I didn't make it to CES this year, but there are plenty of e-mail blasts on product announcements from the show that it feels as if I'm actually there! One such e-mail came from Namco Networks, publisher and developer of mobile games. Yesterday, the company announced its newest mobile title, BurgerTime Delight, in partnership with Japanese developer G-mode. The game is a 25-year-old arcade classic (released in 1982 as BurgerTime by Data East), enhanced and updated into this mobile version with new level backgrounds, new characters, and mini-games. In BurgerTime Delight, you play Chef Peter Pepper, "whose goal is to build behemoth burgers by knocking each burger ingredient onto plates at the bottom of the screen." I love the idea already! On each level, Peter is challenged by being chased by his food nemeses Mr. Hotdog, Mr. Egg, and Mr. Pickle. Thankfully, you can "squash your enemies with falling ingredients, stun them with pepper from a collected peppershaker, or burn them with hot sauce."Namco Networks also announced that BurgerTime Delight includes two new food baddies, Mr. Garlic, described as a "clove of garlic who drops lingering morsels of his cloves behind him" and Mr. Carrot, who can "drill himself down a level to chase Peter." Other enhancements are a word collection mini-game.

BurgerTime Delight is available now on national carriers including Sprint and Verizon.
