“One thing we added during development was a rocket pack. In the later levels you actually need to take this power-up in order to fly up to the overhead platforms and get more burgers.”

“BurgerTime is the classic arcade example of why we have retro. It’s the blues of gaming. The roots. We need to preserve our classics and we want to relive our past. But let’s not do it with 80’s tech,” said John Griener, President of MonkeyPaw Games.

MonkeyPaw tossed up a few screenshots and video of BurgerTime HD, due for release this summer.

First, BurgerTime HD is a 2.5D game instead of a 2D game with high resolution sprites. Second, hamburger chefs run in a cylinder instead of a flat world.
