Heh, toast weapon. Its pretty straightforward as far as gameplay goes, but that little touch of humor and charm are there. Would have liked to see some different enemies or something though. Still, good job.

Rip poptarts

Nice game. Funny to play.

Probably the best game I've played so far. Everything about the game is great. I love how the toaster and bread catches on fire depending on how long you keep the mouse held down. There is nothing to hate in this game.

Seroiusly, this game deserves to be in the top five for everything, if not win. This was FANTASTIC. Very imaginative, fun, enjoyable, challenging, and smooth gameplay. The audio is nice, and despite looping forever, actually isn't annoying! Great job!!

All 5 star !!

I don't know why, but I found it really funny to be shooting toast at angry bread. I love the burning toaster animation and mechanic!

kcrimson 2015-04-21 20:25

Like this game a lot. I'd like to see the game expanded to include more bread based weaponry. Maybe a croissant that works like a boomerang?

fabraz 2015-04-21 21:18

Simple concept, cute though. Perhaps consider some more extra moves?

I really enjoyed this. Might've liked a charge meter for the toaster weapon, but other than that its very solid. Funny, good use of the theme, and functional.

One note, in your description you say R is reload. I hit it thinking I needed to reload the toaster. "Restart" might be a better descriptor :)

toasts like assholes )

tommislav 2015-04-21 21:23

Liked the details you put in the game, like catching fire if charging for too long.
But I managed to find an angle where the toast could just sweep along the ground which meant that the gameplay would consist of nothing more than pressing the mousebutton as often as I could. Would have loved some more challenges, like stuff blocking the way forcing you to aim higher, and reward for precision.

Graphics and audio are great. Love the little bits about it that make it intuitive. The toast handle drawing down to show you the power. Flaming toast for max power. Love it.

I'll try to play all of your games ASAP :)

ethproductions 2015-04-21 22:40

Wow, thanks for all of the feedback! I'm glad you folks like it. :)

@CarlsonAndPeeters: Thanks for pointing that out! I've changed that now.

@KCrimson, Tommislav: Hadn't thought about adding in some more bready weapons. Thanks for the suggestion!

@Photon: I was planning to add in more enemies, but in the end, I ran out of time. :( Definitely going to add them in the post-comp version, though!

Really nice game. love the concept. the music loop is pretty repetetive and short, but overall a great game.

klbrazil 2015-04-22 03:55

nice game XD i like how it burns when overcharged XD

travisroot1 2015-04-22 07:02

Solid mechanic here! I enjoyed straddling the line between ultra-powerful shots and burning myself.

Music is great, but presentation is rather poor. Not the point of games, though. All in all, nice work.

P.S. thank you so much for helping me on Firefly Gun's flash embed :)

Pretty good. I prefer more fast paced games, but was pretty funny shootin some toast at the evil pop tarts lol

ceosol 2015-04-25 17:06

Love the idea of a toaster fighting poptarts. I did not see a real impact between light toast to flaming toast. The light toast almost seemed better because it would roll a little on the ground. Without having an upgrade system, I think it definitely needed clear toast power levels. That was my only real complaint, it was still a great entry!

kinosawada 2015-04-28 04:03

Nice game, i think funny! ^^

jk5000 2015-04-28 07:13

Simple and charming. Good job.

taro 2015-04-29 02:16

Pretty neat game, especially made by oneself in 48 hours. I do think is too simple to be enjoyable. Some abilities to either combo or power-up your attacks will be nice. Additionally to respond to those improvements, different enemy types would be cool as well. Felt a bit like a tower-defense game without any upgrades.

geckoo1337 2015-04-29 21:49

Interesting concept. I like it. All works well. I think that this project can be improved by adding some features, but it's good enough. Well done ++

lmt 2015-05-06 17:57

Interesting game - I like it. The jusic is fun and the whole game idea definitely fits the theme. it did take me quite a qhile that you can hold down to cook the bread more (xD)

crazyal02 2015-05-12 00:56

Funny, though it got pretty tedious.

sledknight 2015-05-12 00:58

Very repetitive... but, I loved the animations, and the smiling toaster. Fits the theme well. Good job!

xanjos 2015-05-12 00:59

I actually like how you can charge your shots and get burning toast for more firepower.

iamacoconut 2015-05-12 01:00

Nice game. Very cute and charming! It'd be nice if there was other stuff you could do, either than just clicking, but the game is pretty solid :). I liked the music :)
