There is no download link or web link. It looks like a cool game. I wish I could play and rate it.

I like the multitasking aspect of the gameplay.
Ghost toast... delicious!!
Top bad I couldn't play the game on linux via wine, since it looks really unique and enjoyable...
@dertom - You can download the source and apt-get Pygame :)
I think you played some more with the autotracker parameters. It sounds different from other autotrack tracks. Thank you!
Anyway about the game: it's a shame that this game has so little comments because I think its VERY VERY funny. With some easter eggs as well!
I would have liked some more animations and to see my toast land on the plate, but other than that great fun!
Ah, it is pygame! You should definetly mention this somewhere. I got it to start but got a pygame.error after firing the first two toasts (Trace: http://pastebin.com/6n6XgDF6 ) Btw, the mentioned image is there and the relative path should be ok. Not sure about the problem...
Keep on rocking
@dertom - We developed on a case-insensitive file system, so the letter case in the code isn't matching the letter case in the directory. Try renaming the images to be lowercase, or give me a minute and I'll push a fix :)
@dertom - Okay, should be all fixed up in the repo. I'm not actually sure how that happened! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Let us know if you run into anything else :) Also, as you suggested, I added a comment at the top mentioning that the game is made with pygame. Hopefully that will get Linux users will play and rate as well.
Reaaaally not in key with the theme, BUT was pretty fun for the most part :D. Pretty awesome feel of multi-tasking.
Ok, it works now and I could finally toast jump for callories. You should print out a dietplan, no clue how I can compensate all the callories. :D Nice game,...sound also at beginning but later 'M' is you friend.
All in all, good job with this fun-game!
@Neonlare - Why doesn't it fit with the theme. Sure, we didn't pursue minimalism for art; instead we chose a minimalist object (toaster) and minimalist mechanics.
@dertom - Thanks for playing :)
I liked the game. Also graphics looked minimal to me. Nicely done!
Cute. But am I the only one who had trouble controlling the height of my toast launches, or is that intentionally random?
It doesn't fit the theme perfectly, but the theme has a huge scope of interpretation. Toast is perfectly fine for me :) It is nicely done and I like your music and sound. I also watched your timelapse, it was fun to watch! Extra credits for sublime and python.
Nice game, well done! :)
the plate wouldn't move for me :(
@Ryusui - How high the toast goes depends on how long it is cooked. Each item has four stages of toastedness. While they generally cook about the same each time, there are slight variations to how long each stage lasts for each item. You have to watch the toaster to make sure to launch it when it is toasted for optimal flight time. That is the tricky part because you have two toasters to manage and you are trying to guide your most recently launched toasted item through the air to the plate.
@naughtyloose - The plate does not move. Your goal is to guide the toast to the plate after you launch it.
Thanks for playing everyone!
Was a pretty fun game, it got really hectic though and was pretty difficult to manage but it was interesting. Shame about nyan cat though.
Nice highscore game, I actually wanted to improve my score after the first round.
This is pretty epic. It's a lot of fun to play, but the controls feel a bit loose at times. I would find myself holding the key down to move the toast left, not seeing it move, and then accelerating much faster than I wanted. Having a slightly larger plate area would help too. Your credits screen scrolls a bit quickly too.
The rainbow special was a fun surprise :)
The decision to have two toasters made this game significantly better than just one. Great job.
Pretty silly little game. Lots of fun!
Played it on Linux with Python+Pygame, worked perfectly. Just wished we could see the ghosts eating the toasts.
Should I launch 2 bread in the same time?
I scored 6646 calories ^^
Wooow the game is veery good in my opinion :-)
Congratulations guys ;)
@Turtle - You can only control one piece of toast at a time, so before you launch your next piece you need to put your current toasted object on a trajectory towards the plate. If you are doing it quickly you can have many toasts in the air at the same time :)
Simple but original game. It has a refreshingly novel feel to it. I never found out how to make the toast fly high though. Also I have to spend most of the time waiting for the toasts to bake. I'd have preferred to have less waiting and more action. Maybe have more than 2 toasters?
