Pete is a lazy guy who lives in a small town in bavaria and loves his
music heavy metal and food fast.
Finally the big day has come; the Smalltown Fast Food Fortress opens,
and Pete knows just what do to: Get those burgers, and get them quick
and in high quantity!

Arriving at the chain restaurant of his choice, he can't help but notice
one big problem: They built that thing on an ancient Celtic burial site,
and now terryfying undead clan warriors from 500 B.C. have risen from
their graves and occupied the Fast Food Fortress! And all they seek is
merciless revenge, and all they crave is juicy human brain...or is it?

Nominee for best puzzles in 2009.

AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game:
Catchy music. Simple graphics, and some stretched backgrounds.

Some linear puzzles, and bizarre dialog can leave you guessing what you’re required to do. Only a couple small technical issues, but nothing serious.

Yes I enjoyed that game. First I thought this game was just a crap because of the weird graphics style hehe but when I got more hang on this game I really liked that game. It is different than other AGS games I have played but I am glad I didn't give up on this game. I guess I was to fast to judge that game after first try.

It has definatly great puzzle. I got stuck many times in that games so that is a plus.

BTW I don't know if this text is supposed to be in german when I press the button on stove. I guess the translator forgot to translate that hehe. That must be the only bug I found.



Great very hard puzzle
Graphics ...well even it is poor, don't judge it until you finish the game. If you like Southpark you will love it.
Story.... odd but funny.

Overall I give this game B+

I have to disagree with the panel on that one, it looks like the person who reviewed the game didn't even play half of the game, probably less.

The game features some really nice nonlinearity, puzzles require lateral thinking but are far from "strange" (and if strange, then in that crazy adventure game way most people would enjoy, I guess), the dialogs are well written and it is always quite obvious what your next objective is - even though you have to do some puzzling to eventually get there.

I think the award nomination for "best puzzles" reflects this and puts the person who reviewed this in kind of an awkward position: In this case, I guess no review would have been better than a half-assed "Oh my, I guess I will have to have a look, but I don't like the graphics and premise and that Helme guy and I'm sure it doesn't get any better"-review.


Play it, it is really worth the while!

Great little game, any issues there may be with the graphics disappear with the varied & sometimes innovative puzzles.

On the whole, the game is amusing and not quite as simple as it may first appear.

Very nice game. Some of puzzles are very strange/difficult. Story/Gameplay is full of good ideas. Thx to helme for this unique game.

Congratulations Helme. I really enjoyed the game, and working with you. Hopefully my delays didn't cause too much of a nuisance, and maybe we can work together again once I've got myself back on track.

Cheers

Stee
