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
Make your last stand against the invaders in this retro inspired arcade toast 'em up.
Try to beat my high score of 1119. (this is doable in both versions)
Players playing the post comp version can press F1 to shrink the game if it doesn't fit on their monitor.
You can also now hold a to fire toasts in the post compo, but they are now on a cooldown like the other weapons.

Cute game. Got 693 as my highscore. Nice unconventional weapon choice too.
Really cool game, feels like a finished product. Managed to spam toasts at the beginning but it gets quite alot harder. Love the fact that you can get your dear toaster back, and the special attacks. My highscore was 500 something.
Score 1036 and I'm toast.
Really quite enjoyed that.
Graphics are simple but very effective.
Audio is good, music is great.
Gameplay is a tried and trusted mechanic with a good addition of the different abilities.
Fun and challenging gameplay. I loved how the three different shot types all had their own strategic purpose and you constantly have to consider which shot is best to use at any given moment.
However, I do feel that a single playthrough takes far too long, discouraging me from replaying it (because it doesn't really get challenging until quite some time in). I feel that faster difficulty ramping, higher initial difficulty or making early mistakes more significant (for example, losing a toast permanently instead of temporarily) could help replay value.
Graphics and audio were excellent. I felt the link to the theme was rather weak (existing only in the graphics; the toasters might as well have been turrets as is the default for these kinds of games).
Liked the graphics, but I find it too easy, I discover that if you keep changing the arrow and just spam toasts, you can win easely, besides that, awesome work!
Pretty tight! Just wish it didn't stretch beyond my screen size though... but hey, I guess that's what portrait mode is for!
Welp, 1086. Game is deceptively easy at first, then shamelessly crushes your ego. That's nice.
Audiovisuals are quite pleasing. Not all inputs seem to be aknowledged when trying to play fast, but that mostly balances out with difficulty.
Pretty good overall. Good job!
Graphics and audio are amazing and super cute. I feel that the gameplay could be tweaked a bit to balance the difficulty, though. The only major problem I had was using the explosive toast, it causes the game to crash when the screen is full of invaders for some reason, making it nearly impossible for me to get a good score... Still, very well done, congrats!
Too much cute fun!! Good graphics and great music! It's still stuck in my head and it's not annoying. But I found it was too easy If I just kept going left and right shooting the toast and not risk the other cool weapons!
Somehow plays in semi-fullscreen which causes to cut the down and upper parts of the game, but it was still playable. Nice weapon and challenging gameplay, cute art and music. Congrats!
Very cute and well animated congratulations.
Spamming toasts is too easy (and hurt my fingers)
so much fun. really thought it was gonna be too easy with all of my toast spamming but then stuff really got hard =D
Gameplay was fun and the graphics are great. Those toasters just keep going and going. Did find the difficulty should have probably gotten harder quicker but besides that a really nice entry.
What version are you guys playing on when you say the difficulty curve is too low?
Great adorable graphics and solid music and sound. The variety of attacks and different places to launch was an interesting mechanic. Great job!
Awesome game! I love the idea.
The game window did extend below the taskbar slightly, but if I was able to move it with my mouse that would've solved the problem slightly. I see that you added something to fix that in the post-compo version.
I liked how losing toasters had an effect on your ability to fight off ufos. I got down to two toasters left, but they seemed to be able to stay alive without too much difficulty. Then I fired a jam shot that blew up a whole bunch of ufos at once! Yay! BUT then the game crashed. :C

Sidepoint: I prefer it when people put the compo version first.
Cute and adorable. Very well polished too. Overall, a fun entry.
The post-compo version is a significant improvement. Going to try if I can get this game working on my arcade machine.
High score (so far): 374

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.
very polished!
gameplay is good and story and art style is cute.
I had some resolution problems and couldn't see the top or bottom of the screen, but it was still playable
