Supersize Yourself with 'BurgerTime Delight' from NAMCO

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Namco Networks, a well-known publisher and developer of mobile games and entertainment for mass-market casual gamers, recently announced the launch of its newest mobile title, BurgerTime Delight. This arcade classic is the first title through its partnership with Japanese developer G-mode,

BurgerTime Delight follows the storyline of the arcade classic, BurgerTime, originally released in 1982 by Data East, whose game rights are now owned by G-mode. In the game, players assume the role of Chef Peter Pepper, whose goal is to build behemoth burgers by knocking each burger ingredient onto plates at the bottom of the screen.

Each level introduces a variety of challenges for Peter, including being chased by his food nemeses Mr. Hotdog, Mr. Egg and Mr. Pickle. Players can squash these foes with falling ingredients, stun them with pepper from a collected peppershaker or burn them with hot sauce.

The arcade mode of the game maintains the same graphics and game play as the original arcade classic. Namco's enhanced mode is designed to introduce new content and boost the game's playability on mobile phones, including updated and modern graphics and other new creative elements to the game. For example, the enhanced mode introduces eight new environments where players can build burgers. These environments include the inside of a freezer, an oven, a barbecue pit, a pastry display case, a diner tabletop and a dishwasher. Each level contains new dangers to outmaneuver such as flashing and hot heat lamps, water droplets and sharp icicles.

BurgerTime Delight by Namco also includes two new food baddies, Mr. Garlic, 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. Also new to the mobile game is a word collection mini-game that challenges players to collect letters and spell three words: PETER, DINER and BURGER. When players spell the word on a level they earn two extra lives and automatically clear that level.

BurgerTime Delight is available starting this week on majority of the national carriers.
