PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
In the not-so-far-away land of baked goods, a war has arisen. The Toast Kingdom is hogging the Toaster of Life, and the Kingdom of Toaster Tarts is demanding it for themselves! Your mission? Play as the Toaster of Life, and destroy as many Toaster Tarts as you can for the highest score.
This game was made, using Stencyl, in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 32. There are a lot of things that could be improved, and believe me, I am going to improve them. But I think this is a good enough game for 48 hours.... :)
Controls:
Mouse to aim
Hold mouse button to load
Release mouse button to fire
R to restart
P to pause/unpause
M to switch to the menu
Any feedback is appreciated. Have fun!
P.S. As a thank-you for commenting, I'll rate your game! :)

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!!
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!
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?
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 :)
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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 ++
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)
Very repetitive... but, I loved the animations, and the smiling toaster. Fits the theme well. Good job!
I actually like how you can charge your shots and get burning toast for more firepower.
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 :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
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.
