The best part about this whole progression system is that it also seems remarkably fair to free-to-play players.

There's so much to unlock that you always have a goal, and a lot of these unlocks can fundamentally change your strategies. It's really this progression system that makes Burrito Bison fun to play over long stretches of time.

Between rounds you collect coins though, and these can be spent to unlock new items, wrestlers, and enemies as well as improve your existing stats to help you reach a further distance. When you first start out in Burrito Bison, your options are pretty limited and you can only make it so far in a level without a good amount of luck. The further you get into Burrito Bison, you'll come across special enemies that can either speed you up or slow you down, so there's quite a bit of active strategy when it comes to activating your abilities at the right time. You can tap the screen to activate a special ability, which is earned over time from hitting certain amounts of enemies. Once you're flying high through the air, you still have some control over your wrestler. The goal of the game is to get as far as possible before losing all speed. Your initial hit on your opponent in the ring provides your wrestler momentum to then fly through levels filled with gummy bears that you have to bounce on to maintain momentum.

What might not be quite as obvious is that–after you've launched your wrestler– Burrito Bison then sort of becomes an endless runner like Jetpack Joyride. At the beginning of every round, you pull back on the screen to determine the power and trajectory of your wrestler before releasing to watch them pummel their enemies. If you think Burrito Bison sounds a bit like Angry Birds, you'd be correct. It's a totally bonkers concept for sure, but this free-to-play game combines a lot of great concepts and progression systems together to make it a super fun and unique experience. Burrito Bison: Launcha Libre is a wacky little arcade game from Kongregate where players launch luchadors from a wrestling ring to take out evil candy enemies and their gummy bear minions.
