Burger Cat! Help with a good story line?
As with most great side scrolling adventure games, a good story is an essential part of making it feel complete. I'm designing a game of the sorts, but I lack said story! I have a cat who's only goal is to capture and consume a delicious burger at the end of each level. When you've obtained the burger, you're sucked into a vortex and spit out at the beginning of the next level. You collect mice as bonus points. I cannot think of a good story line to go with this! Please leave suggestions below! (:
Thanks in advance!

generally you should only bump your topic if it is on page 2 or greater on the list of topics. bumping every hour is considered spam.
as for story I think something that random might not need one as it could possibly overcomplicate things. if you made it extremely random I bet that would be much better than any serious storyline/plot anyone could invent

Yeah, I'm just anxious ): Btw, I implemented your sprites! Thanks again! I'll make sure to give you credit. Also, I think your idea about the story is good. I just feel like without a story the game won't feel complete.

Burger Cat is hungry.
To be honest, it's kind of hard to create a story out of that.

One day, a cat noticied his owner eat a juicy hamburger and he (or she) wondered what it tasted like. So, the cat went to bed and dreamt of hamburgers and he tossed in bed all night long.
In one of his dreams, he appears in this strange, exotic world and he smells a hamburger, and the game takes off from there.
I hope that you like it.
