Gameplay
Hamburgers go through an oven and are placed on a conveyor belt headed in the player's general direction. In order to satisfy customers' orders (seen on a chart at the bottom of the screen), the player must catch the flying toppings for a particular order and place them on the burger. Once a burger is assembled, the player must catch the top bun, place it on the burger, and then drop the completed burger into the proper colored slot. Once all the slots are filled, the level ends, and the player receives bonus points for remaining performance points (see below) and for every burger successfully completed.
Performance points
The player begins the game with 50 performance points. Errors that result in the loss of performance points include:
Once the player loses all their points, the game is over.
Legacy
Pressure Cooker was made available on Microsoft's Game Room service for its Xbox 360 console and for Windows-based PCs on September 29, 2010.
