You play as Chef Pepper, who must make giant Burgertime hamburgers while being chased by evil eggs, sausages, and pickles around the game area. Your goal is to gather all the ingredients and drop them onto the burger area below without getting squished.
To assemble a hamburger, you need to step on every ingredient first. As soon as an ingredient falls to the level below, it will squish any enemy following you and push other ingredients down further. You can also collect pepper shakers to puff out a small cloud that will stun enemies, allowing you to walk past them.
The game gets progressively harder with higher levels, introducing new level designs, faster enemies, and more ingredients to gather.
