Papa Louie 2: When Burgers Attack! This is the long-awaited sequel to the hit game Papa Louie: When Pizzas Attack!

Radley Madish, Sarge, and a legion of Burgerzillas terrorize the Burgeria and kidnap Papa Louie and all the loyal customers. It's up to Marty and Rita to rescue the customers and find their favorite boss, Papa Louie.

Each customer you save becomes a playable character with their own unique weapons. Some customers have special skills that allow you to reach new areas, rescue more customers, and earn Warp Keys. Hurry, Papa needs your help!

Previews

02/04-03/25/2013: (one part was added every Monday): The Off to Work story that introduced the main story of the game. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]
04/03/2013: Papa Louie is shown in a cage, indicating that he will need to be rescued during the course of the game. [9]
04/15/2013: The first screenshots are shown, showing that players can stun enemies by jumping on their heads or kill them by sliding down a hill. [10]
04/22/2013: A new feature shows that after you save a customer, they can help out with their own weapons and skills. Big Pauly is shown; his weapon is a Pepper bomb and his skill is ground pounding, shown to demolish cracker blocks.

04/29/2013: The map of Munchmore is shown, consisting of nine large levels encompassed in 5 areas. Warp Keys (50 total, including the one thrown in the top jar in Off To Work, Part 6) are needed to unlock more levels and can be earned for rescuing one of three customers in a level (there are 28 total), collecting all 100 coins in a level, collecting five specific items in a level or defeating all the burger monsters in a level. Earning some of these need one of six skills, but levels can be played again with different characters. Coins collected can be used to buy two different outfits for each customer; Marty is shown in one of them. Prudence is confirmed as a customer you can save; she can be saved in level 1. [12]
05/07/2013: 5 of the 30 different enemies are shown: Army Onions (bumped from Papa Louie 1), Burgerzillas (the game's Pizza Monsters), Sarge, Radley Madish (as seen in Off To Work and on Radlynn's shirt), and the Party Subs from Papa Louie 1. [13]
05/16/2013: The first video footage of the game is shown. Scooter is shown in the 45-second clip, her weapon is her skateboard and her skill is double jumping. In the clip, she knocks down a couple of Onions (from the April 15th preview), Tomatoes (from Papa Louie 1), and a Burgerzilla (it takes 4 hits to defeat one). One of the locations in the game is revealed to be Lettuce Lane. The scoring system for the game is also shown: 5 points for each coin, 10 points for each kill. [14]
05/23/2013: (according to Quinn's Q&A): As a question about if it's finished, it's announced that all the music and sounds are finished, and they're about to play-test it. [15]

Marty takes out his cap, Flipper 5000 spatula, and his keys. He reads the calendar, which appears to have "Free Burger Day!" written on it.

He then drives out in his car, and drives to Rita's house. Rita then goes outside and gets into the car.

On their way, they notice a large amount of customers waiting at the door.

Marty parks his car and they walk to the door inside. Rita turns on the open sign and the customers barge in. The chefs cook the burgers and serve them. After a while, when Rita and Marty give Greg his order, a strange person, wearing a coat, gloves, a hat, and a pair of glasses, arrives. He orders 3 simple Patties without toppings or sauces.

After the stranger gets his order, he throws an odd warp key into the tips jar. Suddenly, a light appears, which frightens Marty. A portal appears and the customers are terrified. The strange person takes off his coat to reveal that he was in fact Radley Madish, who, along with Sarge, set up a plan to kidnap the customers.

All of the customers are sucked into the portal. Marty and Rita try to hang on, but they lose their grip and are sucked in along with their customers.

Obstacles

Balloons

Balloons are floating platforms that the player can stand on. There are five types of balloons, and each one moves in a different pattern.

BBQ Quicksand

BBQ Quicksand appears in levels 7-9. It can drown the player if they sit in it for too long. Players will need to jump as much as possible to get out (except for a few hidden rooms in levels 7 and 8, which can only be accessed by sinking deep enough for the player to get in through the hidden entrance). Baddies will immediately drown upon contact. The X-Zone has Flavor X Quicksand which works the same way as its saucy counterpart.

Cheese Cannons

Cheese Cannons appear in levels 6, 9, and the X-Zone. They shoot melted cheese that is very sticky. Players must make their character jump 3 times to get unstuck if they get hit by a blob of cheese. Each cannon has a red gem that alerts the cannon where the character is (to the left or right of the cannon). They are usually located near baddies so the baddies attack the character while he or she is stuck.

Trivia

In the credits tab when pausing, Matt and Tony are running away similarly to Marty and Rita in the promotional pictures.

Mat and Tony Credits — Matt and Tony in the credits

Some of the alternate outfits will be worn by the characters in future games.
The player will need a total of 5880 coins to buy all the outfits for all the customers.
There is a total of 25 coins per level section with exceptions of the first few levels, and there are four sections in each level.
3 consecutive levels - level 3, 4 and 5 - require Ground Pounding for collecting the collectible items.
For the playable characters that are workers in the Games, one of the outfits he or she can wear is his or her worker's uniforms.
The most common skill (other than having none) is Gliding, having 5 customers with this skill.
Nearing the end of Level 4 where you go rescue Foodini, there is an onion holding a balloon who can't be reached, even if you go through the maze.
There are some small enemies which can be defeated just by jumping on them or by stunning them only once by Boomer's weapon such as the Burger Slider and the Runt Tomato.
The X Zone has random special items previously seen in other levels as a collectible for extra points (Fizzo cans, Papa coins, etc).
In Level 6 there is a lone Cheese Wheel, which pays homage to the lone Cheese Wheel in world three that appeared in When Pizzas Attack.
Papa Louie is the only character who can wield a different weapon, when he is set to style C, he wears his Freezeria outfit and attacks with a beach umbrella instead of a pizza paddle.
Ninjoy is the only character without any weapon, she only uses her karate moves.
Boomer is the only character whose weapon (Roman Candle) first stuns and then kills the enemy (except for a few).
There are 12 characters who did not appear in Papa's Burgeria that appear in this game.
The burger Radley Madish orders in the intro is same as James' order in Burgeria.
If the player gets a 100% completion score, a gold star will appear next to the 100% on the player's save file.
Based on Marty's calendar, it can be determined that Free Burger Day was held on Friday the 13th (as Pay Day was the following day and Papa Louie's workers get paid on Saturdays.)
The cheese blocks seen throughout Mount Monterey are: Cheddar Cheese, Marble Colby Cheese, Swiss Cheese, Monterey Jack Cheese, Blue Cheese and Pepperjack Cheese.

Whereas it says that Double Jump is required to rescue Yippy in Level 4, you can do this by using Xandra whose skill is gliding (for she jumps higher than other customers, the little boost of her gliding allows her to reach the platform). However, to unlock Xandra, you must collect all Warp Keys which requires you to rescue Yippy first. This being said, all customers with gliding can reach the first platform with the help of the boulder and the use of checkpoints (as shown in the gallery).

As Boomer's damage count as "stun", she is the best option for Level 9 to defeat Radley Madish as she only needs to knock back one mustard rocket and then shoot Radley Madish multiple times to defeat him, where most other customers will have to knock back 3 mustard rockets before defeating him.
The gravy found in Level 7 and Level 8 is deadly to enemies, however, it would not hurt the customers and the customers would not drown in it as well. But keep in mind that you can lose by "falling out of" the gravy.
