Gameplay
edit
In Sky Burger, players stack ingredients to fill a specific order.[2] The ingredients—patty, cheese, lettuce, pickle, onion, and tomato—fall from the sky, and the player must tilt their device to catch them. Once the order is filled, the player gets money and a tip and then continues making more burgers. The tip is based upon the cost of the burger and how well the player did catching the ingredients and avoiding the unwanted ingredients.
The burgers which the players assemble are randomly selected, and one burger called the "Sky Burger" lets the player stack as many ingredients as they are able to with no limit as long as the player avoids the falling hamburger buns.
The difficulty becomes harder as the player successfully makes consecutive orders. Ingredients, as well as the hamburger buns, fall much more quickly. The required amount of ingredients is higher. However, if a player fails to complete an unfinished order due to accidentally collecting a hamburger bun when they have not collected all of the ingredients needed to make that order, the difficulty is set back to the beginning, and again becomes harder as the player progresses.

Chris Barylick of Macworld mentioned that the game "makes great use of tilt controls for the iPhone and iPod touch," but "the game can feel a bit directionless, which both works for and against it."[2] The game was praised.[4]
