BurgerTime - how to increase your score

First and foremost group the enemies in a way that enables you to throw pepper just once (running out of pepper is fatal). Make all the clustered enemies chase you across a burger component to make them fall with the component into the platters below. Making all of the enemies fall together gives you 4000 points, the maximum on first level. Since you don't get 4000 points per component beneath being knocked down one level also, but 4000 points per drop of all the grouped enemies, it's a good idea to endeavor to make the enemies fall with a single component without making other components fall with it. Furthermore, every time you make an empty burger component drop one level it gives you 50 points, so try to work each component to the bottom immediately above a platter before making the grouped enemies fall with the component into the platter (as shown in this video). Picking up an ice cream cone gives you 500 points. Make sure to grab all three cones appearing after every fourth component has landed on a platter.

Practise your pepper throw onto the grouped enemies. You need to make them freeze immediately on top of each other, otherwise they will spread out after a while. The enemies are getting faster gradually so it's a good idea to work the top components down early in the game.

It's possible to get more than the 67.900 points that you get by following this strategy accurately. This is done by crushing the enemies under a falling component whenever possible. This can be done a limited number of times only, and sacrificing lives and pepper doses are necessary in order to start over again to group the enemies anew. This is not a good idea if you want to continue the game for a long time, in case of which you will need to save your pepper and lives.
