These burger joints are like a pizza shop in a college town run by slow-moving, yet ultimately effective, stoners.

You know how many customers you\u2019ll see that day from the start of the round, and you can take as long as you want in real time to complete it. In short, it\u2019s all the satisfaction of a Diner Dash or Cooking Mama game, with none of the stress. The money does function as a motivating reward, though \u2014 you can use it to unlock new planets (I\u2019ve unlocked up to Earth so far) and buy coupons for more tips and faster cook times, among other buffs that last for one day each.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Online co-op, endless mode, and time-sensitive mode \u2014 where customers judge you on order accuracy <em>and <\/em>speed \u2014 make <em>Galaxy Burger<\/em> feel like a full game despite the simple premise. I look forward to the possibility of updates that might bring more variety in dialogue with customers, or a challenge mode to play in between the relaxing default-mode rounds. But as it stands now, it\u2019s got a loose grip on my attention, and I like that it\u2019s designed to be respectful of my time. It\u2019s become a mainstay in my rotation of games I play while also half-watching an episode of television I\u2019ve already seen and having a conversation with my husband. Oh, is that just me?
