60 Seconds Burger Run vs Risk of Rain
60 Seconds Burger Run
60 Seconds Burger Run is a browser-based puzzle-platformer where the player will have 60 seconds to run through the maze and reach the burger stand, which happens to be closing, for your burger fix. The game's unique partly because of its somewhat humorous parody of a burger-craving person, but also partly because of its special multi-level puzzles. There is an array of short mazes that you'll need to get through in order to reach the bus stand which will bring to you to the next part of the maze. You'll only reach the burger shop after you've completed a series of these shorter mazes. As you might expect, there are many challenges in your way, including dangerous spikes and breakable bricks, so having great reflexes and a good eye, to find alternative routes, are very important in this game.Like many games before it, 60 Seconds Burger Run may possibly be the next breakout game to make the jump from being simply a "Flash game" into something that's so much more. So, if you enjoy puzzle-platformers, you simply must try 60 Seconds Burger Run. It's free after all!
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
