flgr

Very creative. The controls are a bit weird and the graphics could be better, but what a fun idea to base a game on.

Mark Fassett

Umm... Definitely different

randomnine

Quirky, original, funny as all hell. Awesome idea and killer readme. :)

tareco

Very original entry; I actually played it several times to see if there was an objective ;)

Impossible

This is hands down the most innovative game in the competition. It reminds me of some of the whackier microgames in Warioware.

Spectro

Most original game I've played so far. I'm glad someone is thinking radically.

sinsolent

Haha! Too bad I couldn't figure out what to do.

logicalhippo

Really funny, pretty entertaining for a bit :-D.

zoggles

Very different and amusing needs to support force-feedback!

alia

Good joke.. unfortunately it doesnt really transfur into good gameplay :( I laughed tho :)

MattD

you sir, are mad :)

Ufo Z

Lol :)

A very unique interpretation of the theme. I managed to score about 70 points.

Endurion

That's the most funny idea i've seen in the compo :) It could use some nice slimey sound when spreading.

Sol_HSA

Kudos for trying to stretch the theme to its outer limits.

dumple

The line "Remember to be gentle with your bread" made me laugh out loud.

mrfun

In a refreshing change from the last ten kill the zombie before they infect everyone games I've played, this little beaut places you in control of a butter knife, but not for stabbing rotting corpses, for spreading lucious looking peanut butter; a worthy endeavor indeed.

Hats off to you Zaphos.

philhassey

Weirdest interface ever award. Very unique and funny concept.

tonic

Funny, but not that much in the theme even that it claims to fit somehow. :)

missingdialtone

that game was just plain strange. The Manual was funny as hell though.

Jolle

_Very_ innovative gameplay, and a good laugh as well. And I can see where the spreading of something comes in, but how about infection?

TwinnedArak

I don't think I had all of the controls, since I could only put peanut butter in the center of the bread. The game kept crashing on me randomly.

Chronocore

sorry, no fun to play. is that a game? ok, a little bit of innovation...

smx

I had a big laugh playing this.. Now go and write a version with force feedback!

cairnswm

Ha Ha, very funny :)

wisebede

I didn't making the connection between infection and peanut butter until I understood the spreading link. Ah-ha. Very droll. The game after that is pretty much a one-stop joke, more suited to a flash website than a windows app. Not much of a game in here and no sound, though the presentation is OK.

peitz

Well, it's a great and original idea, but the controls are a bit too twitchy to make it really playable.

survivor

pwnage!

Gopher

This was hilarious. I laughed my ass off. And for the first simulator of it's kind, very nice. Some sound to indicate when your knife is in contact with the peanut butter (or bread) would've helped a lot, heh.

EricDB

I ranked it low on Theme because even though it's a clever pun on "the spread of something", it doesn't have to do with "Infection". Judges, feel free to kill my vote if that's not fair.

Incredibly creative and innovative.

Krzysiek-K

Great idea and good implementation of it. Plays nice although I didn't get addicted to it. Higscore list could have names stored but good game overall. And nice use of theme! :)

bluescreen

Needs force feedback :)

summy2004

it's the best peanut butter simulator i've ever seen. :)

ferrisr

Couldn't figure out how to actually spread it. Nice idea and game otherwise
