Perfect for playing on my laptop while flying on an airplane, since the game doesn’t require good system resources and is quite suitable for weak PCs or laptops.

Top Burger
Top Burger is so much more than a simple simulation cooking game; it’s an experience. Within my near sixty hours of gameplay I have discovered that Top Burger is ascending, when you play this, you automatically became better than anything else in this realm. I’ve played oh so many games on many different platforms, and I must say. There is nothing else like it, it is simply perfect in every way. And with the games very modest price tag, Top Burger is the most bang for your buck in gaming history; even if the game was $60+ I would buy it in a heartbeat! The mechanics, gameplay, character design and even the sound design is phenomenal. Truly, top-notch. Top Burger is oozing with charm and effort. First off: The gameplay . Top Burger’s gameplay is strikingly complex, yet simple. The mechanic of customers becoming impatient is ingenious, it strikes the player with a sense of panic and rush, it also adds much needed difficulty. The inclusion of boosts makes so even gamers of a lower skill can play. The other gamemodes provide a fun distraction aside from the campaign. Second: The characters. The characters are all full with personality, in their demeanor and designs. none of them seem remotely similar to one another, this shows the sheer effort that was pour into every single aspect of this marvelous game. There is also plenty of diversity bin the characters whether it be, race, gander or age. Top burger has plenty of representation for everyone. Third: the sound design. The sound in Top Burger, like everything else, is amazing beyond words. Although the sound track is admittedly small, it makes up in quality. The soundtrack is absolute delight to listen to in every way. It’s catchy, upbeat and even emotional at times. I personally adore the main menu theme. The sound effects complement the on-screen action perfectly, in a way very few games can do. From the completion effect to the error effect it all works together perfectly. Finally: The story. Top Burger’s story may seem simple at first, but to be able to understand the very complex story which is there, you must have a very high IQ much like my self. The game hints at the story with very subtle hints and evidence scattered in the campaign. To write this timeline I had to spend countless hours piecing together the story bit by bit. The timeline begins when you first open up your shop in 1987, after opening you continue to run the restaurant for a couple years. In 1990 you begin expanding with more locations and a more varied menu. In 1992 after you finish expanding your franchise, the restaurant hits peak business with huge daily orders and hordes of customers wanting burgers. But after that, between 1994-2000 is the begging of the downfall of the company. At this point there is a massive lack of customers and orders. To combat this you close most locations and cut the size of your menu, sadly this doesn’t work. In 2006 you file for bankruptcy and close the company. I think that having a sad ending is a good contrast the game’s childish appearance. In conclusion: Top Burger is such an amazing game that is beyond my capability for me to describe. Nothing out there can compere. Thank you for reading and have yourself a good one! :)

This game is just a pain. It had potential but ended up being boring. Also, if you try to go fast the game doesn’t keep up with your clicks and it just got me so angry! Tried to get to the end of the game, but it doesn’t even have achievements on steam.
Even with the cheap price I wouldn’t buy it again.

DLC information
Yes, there are some DLCs planned. However, all chessmen/chessboard skins will also be complete freely available to be downloaded from our website and can be “side-loaded” using the available feature of loading custom models to Chessality. These won’t be shown to your opponent (if they are using VR) but are fully available to you.
Feature requests
Any cool ideas or integration requests? Tell us! We are very open to ideas!
Will a non-VR version be available?
As of right now, there is no plan. Although there is code implemented for debugging without using a VR headset, one of this project’s goals is to bring emphasis to OTB chess and add a meaningful and replayable VR game to your library. We don’t want to downplay the VR in this game by offering a non-VR option. Furthermore, there are already several very well accomplished 2D options of the game.
Release date information
Originally planned for December 2020, but now the plan is around may-august 2021. We feel very safe about these range dates to release the game as actually, the gameplay is quite very well polished, and most original features for release are ready. However, further advertisement, artwork, and environmental polishment seem in order before release. The actual feature list is much longer than described, and the planned feature list is even much longer. Due to the almost pure focus of the client, server, integration of third-party services, game mechanics, and aesthetics development, almost nothing has been done on artwork and advertisement until now.
Want to help?
We would gladly accept any free help you can offer! Especially artwork and advertisement ;)
Author personal notes
Yes, 2D digital chess is incredible and offers very convenient playability/portability. However, 2D digital chess doesn’t 100% translate your skills to OTB chess, nor OTB is efficient as training on 2D digital chess.
Chessality is probably not a true replacement for over-the-board chess nor a true upgrade from 2D digital chess, but just another way to play the game. I will try to offer as much functionality and realism for true hard-core OTB players and offer the convenience of the digital world to more casual players while trying to keep the core values of chess to the best of my abilities as a human.

Go Morse Go! Arcade Edition
I love the art and music and charm of the characters. I also like how you can just jump in and play. I also like the educational aspect because I was making mistakes out of pure haste and I was learning at the same time. Doing that made the game that much more enjoyable. The music is wonderful and I’m bobbing my head along often. Sometimes I just play to hear what comes next and it ramps up nicely when you want to dig into a little competitive spirit. Great presentation- everything flows quickly, the menus aren’t cluttered and explanations are lighting quick which is what games SHOULD be more like because tutorials are BORING!

it’s got cute rabbits with several cute costumes, making it a great tool for learning.
It’s barebones basic though. There’s no listening mode, nor are you ever asked to input words. Just reciting single alphabetic letters one at a time.

Fishing on the Fly
A very relaxing game. The dev is very active and responds to questions quickly. I anticipate this to get even better with future updates.
– Real player with 8.3 hrs in game
Just awful! I have purchased the game “Fishing on the Fly”. Every time I try to play I have to wait 40 minutes to an hour for it to update. The Game freezes up, you cannot select flies, and when I save the game and return I have to start at the beginning. On the plus side, it would be an awesome game if the gremlins were worked out.

MarineVerse Cup - Sailboat Racing
Excellent sail race game with a great community forming, and passionate developers keen to progress the game. if you want to learn about the intricacies and tactics of racing this is perfect. i’ve played it for a while now on rift s, and it works well, plenty of stats and race replays, leagues and multiplayer races can be found and the discord channel gives plenty of advice and ongoing support. look forward to more development in the future.

Here’s the deal. This isn’t the prettiest game you’ll ever play. There’s no gorgeous vistas to take in as you sail one of a bajillion boats along and watch DVD movies on an In-Boat entertainment system. It’s not loaded with eye-candy fluff.
It is an incredibly good tool to TEACH YOU HOW SAILING WORKS. How to actually sail a boat, how to handle a boat, how to hold a boat so you move along at 11.9 knots instead of 11.7 knots. How to “trick the wind” to let you work on the weak side of irons. How to make a boat pass around 5 buoys in the shortest time in a “never seen it before and never see it again” dynamic situation…and then getting that little endorphin dump to hear your own name called out as the winner of yesterday’s daily race.
