How to play Patty Flip

1. Patties land on four spots of the grill. Each one cooks at its own speed (on difficulty 5 between about 2 and 4.3 seconds a side), and it stays green for under a second.
2. The ring round a patty shows how done the side underneath is. When it reaches the green band, tap the patty to flip it.
3. Then the other side cooks. Tap again when the ring is green to serve it, and a new patty takes its place.
4. Tapping before the green is raw and ends the run. Letting the ring fill all the way burns it, which also ends the run.
5. Serve every burger to clear it: twelve on difficulty 5.
6. You start on difficulty 3 of 10. Clear a difficulty to unlock the next: more burgers (6 on difficulty 1, 24 on difficulty 10), patties that cook faster and a shorter green band. Pick any unlocked difficulty with the arrows on the start card.

Tips

• Smoke means a patty is past the middle of the green and close to burning. Deal with that one first.
• The middle of the green band is a perfect, which raises your cooking score.
• Keep an eye on all four. The slow ones lull you into forgetting them.
• Everyone gets the same patties all day, and new ones at midnight UTC. “Practice a new layout” deals a fresh grill any time, off the leaderboard.
