Nice game! Pretty solid.
I always like these arcade game remakes. Always funny when people don't realize it's from an old game.
Also it says right in the author comments that medals are not available in easy mode. Just play in normal mode. These sorts of games are meant to be hard. Folks, this is arcade-hard we're talking about, not nintendo-hard, and not whatever passes for hard nowadays.
Yes I realize BurgerTime was a NES game but it was an arcade game first. Back in NES days when the NES was considered "standard difficulty" people considered things hard if they were arcade-hard. So if it seems relentless, that's because it is! If it seems unfair, sometimes it is! That's just how games were.
