My submission for Verticode's first ever Game Jam, 2026. Theme = It's Spreading. This is my first ever game... be nice.

Controls

  • Up arrow = up
  • Down arrow = down
  • Left arrow = left
  • Right arrow = right

...most of the time anyway

Rules

The rules are simple: 

Butter toast -> win a point; miss a toast -> lose a life.

The game speeds up every 60 seconds.

Some toasts are better than others - avoid getting burnt.

  • Golden toast += 1 life
  • Burnt toast -= 1 life
  • Butter 10 small toasts in a row += 1 life
  • Flipped toasts reverse the controls for 15 seconds
  • Mouldy toasts get mould all over the screen for 15 secs
  • Mystery toasts trigger one of the special toasts

Disclaimer:

I know some of the hit boxes on the small toasts are a bit off (don't have time to fix them right now, but I'm all over it!).

I also tried adding in high scores but it wasn't working properly, so I've removed them for now. Watch this space?
