It is a dark and stormy night and you are given life, well, some. Find your way to the bread (Using WASD) while collecting batteries to extend you life. Avoid rats that will chew through your power cord.

What an idea! Love it!
The sound is a little too loud but it might be me.
Graphics are awesome and the concept is cool!

Excellent graphics and sound design. Gameplay is simple and uses the theme well. The character movement and concept is amusing. Only complaint is that the controls feel a little unresponsive sometimes. I'm impressed you managed to make something so visually interesting in 48 hours!

Nice theme overall. The controls are not very useful, having to constantly mash the buttons to move. Given the suspension of logic already because this is an animated toaster, I would have like to be able to move in any direction, not just on certain faces. The rats are a problem. Once they lock on to you, it doesn't seem possible to get away. I had a hard time with it. It seems like the first level should be more of an introduction to the game rather than a huge challenge. Good entry though. Has a very nice feeling.

Very atmospheric and lively. Great execution. The controls were a bit clunky and unresponsive at times. But overall Good job!

The game would not work on Linux. The program only show the toaster in the screenshot. Clicking on it (or anywhere else) did nothing.

Neat concept! Cool shaders gave the game a unique look. My only gripe is that sometimes the player couldn't seem to move in a certain direction for seemingly no reason. Great job nonetheless!

I wasn't able to beat the game, but I'm quite impressed with this. The graphics, mechanics, and audio are all spot-on to create an oppressive sci-fi mood, one that lends itself well to moments of "oh, crap!" and hiding from the robo-rats.

My only gripe is that it's a bit too hard, and the movement feels a little bit sticky sometimes, which lead to a few unfortunate deaths. Nice work. :thumbsup:

Game is fun, but beating it is really difficult. only being able to move in a direction when on a certain face feels clunky, but I see where your coming from with it. Mood is great.

High scores on mood and humour here :D sticky controls on the toaster, occasionally unable to move so ended up smashing the buttons in quick succession to move around. Lovely atmosphere though :)

Very funny, the toaster trying to avoid the whatever-the-monsters-are. Searching for the missing bread. The graphics are good, and for the gameplay, probably better responsive for succesive key presses. Otherwise, great work, congrats.

Charming and funny idea. Really find the animation of the toaster gratifying, and love seeing the power cord flopping around when it rolls.

Funny idea (also I liked the post-it under the toaster) and cool art. It was hard for me to escape these rats robots(?) once I got spotted but hey that's the game :)
Good job !

Haha hilarious idea, really cool 'puzzler' in a way. Excellent work!

Not sure how to control this at all, as any tap on the WASD keys sends the toaster spinning around and dropping down. Mashing buttons doesn't help either. The atmosphere was cool though and the 3d models looked nice enough.
