You Should Consider Making a Burger EX

You Should Consider Making a Burger is a physics-based stacking game that asks one simple question: how high can you pile ingredients before the whole thing collapses? Welcome to your very own hamburger restaurant. You've got a long shift ahead of you, and your only job is to drop ingredients as high as you can, carefully aligning each one until the tower inevitably topples. There's no points for flavor combinations, no customers with weird demands just a steady stream of stuff you need to stack, and your own shaky hands deciding whether you make it to the top or watch your creation crumble into a mess.

The Core Gameplay

The loop is pure physics-based stacking. Ingredients fall from above, and you have to align them carefully as they drop. The higher you stack, the more unstable the tower becomes, and the more satisfying it is when you manage to place one more piece without everything collapsing. The game leans into its own absurdity with "realistic hamburger physics" as the developer puts it, "I tried some of these drops in my own kitchen and they worked out kinda the same." It's a game about patience, precision, and accepting that gravity always wins in the end.

Progression and Powerups

As you play, you unlock over 20 powerups that expand what you can stack. You'll get new ingredients, tax breaks, and even different sandwich types as you progress, keeping the experience fresh beyond the basic burger.The game also features perma-death as a tag, suggesting that a collapse might mean starting over or at least losing your progress on that particular stack. It's a simple loop, but the variety of ingredients and powerups gives it more depth than you might expect from a game about stacking food.

Same-Room Co-op

One of the game's most charming features is its same-room co-op. You can "pass the keyboard" and take turns building the tower, turning a solo physics challenge into a shared experience of laughter and frustration. It's the kind of game that works surprisingly well with friends, whether you're collaborating on the perfect stack or competing to see who can build the tallest burger before it all comes crashing down. And yes, there's a cat in it. Her name is Salsa, and you can see her on the first screenshot already.

Reception and Community

The game is very new and currently has no user reviews on Steam, so there's no community consensus yet on how it holds up over time. An aggregator lists it at 0% positive based on 0 reviews, which is essentially meaningless when there's no data behind it.It's a title that has slipped completely under the radar, and anyone who picks it up now would be discovering it before almost everyone else. The developers have also released an Artbook DLC that includes a 22-page manual and artbook, a printable version of the newspaper your hamburgers drop to, and cat pics.

System Requirements

Minimum: Windows 10 (64-bit), a processor that "anything that can add numbers should do it," 4 GB RAM, and a "decent" graphics card. The sound card requirement is listed as "Any??" which tells you everything you need to know about how seriously this game takes itself. It's an extremely lightweight game that will run on virtually any computer made in the last decade.

Who Is This Game For?

If you love physics-based party games like Jenga, Stack, or Tricky Towers and you want something with a silly, low-stakes premise that you can play with a friend on the same keyboard, this is exactly your kind of chaos. If you enjoy the simple satisfaction of watching a tower grow and the inevitable, hilarious collapse that follows, the core loop delivers that in spades. It's also for players who appreciate a game that doesn't take itself seriously and knows exactly how absurd it is the cat named Salsa is proof enough of that. And if you just want a cheap, charming, endlessly replayable game about making burgers that you can pick up for a few minutes or pass back and forth with a friend, this one has your name on it.

If you're into the game, good luck winning!
