Failing means the slice of bread has become inedible due to numerous possibilities, not limited to landing behind a piece of furniture, the nearby carpet with muddy footprints, or even a sink full of water. Unlike Surgeon Simulator, which really didn't have any mechanic to help those who couldn't get past the more difficult levels, I am Bread conveniently spawns Magic Marmalade, giving you invincibility for the entire level. At this point, the bread no longer looks like delicious carbs ready to increase my pant size, but instead is covered in everything I've come in contact with so far. After making a mess of the breakfast table, I flung myself off the table, landing conveniently on a skateboard, narrowly avoiding a floor that hasn't been cleaned in ages. A word of advice: no one likes bread riddled with fish bones or egg shells.īreaking glasses and other objects are the least of your worries as there are quite the numerous amount of dangerous objects set in your path. There are countless other foods that will affect your mobility, but I'll leave that up to you to discover. On the downside, you'll have a harder time climbing up walls and trying to spin around. Jam can be a lifesaver in a pinch, allowing you to instantly stick to surfaces even if the grip meter is depleted. Not only will your score improve if you butter yourself up before hopping in the toaster, but the smooth butter will actually help you traverse across surfaces easier. Near the start of each level you'll usually find a stick of butter or some conveniently placed jam/jelly. The grip meter slowly depletes as your stick to surfaces, so taking your time to climb up a wall can lead to a disaster if you take too long. Cleanliness acts as a health meter since no one wants to consume a disgusting slice of bread covered in who knows what. There are two different meters that require your attention: cleanliness and grip. Something about seeing a slice of bread climbing up surfaces in a house seems straight out of a Wes Craven movie. Not only can you move across flat surfaces, but you can stick to any and all surfaces, allowing you to awkwardly climb up walls, refrigerators and anything attempting to stop you from fulfilling your goal of becoming toast. Immediately after falling off the loaf of bread (you do this to start every level), I flopped around, shattering a glass, getting loose bits of cereal stuck to both my sides before I accidently inched my way through a line of hungry ants. Holding any of four shoulder buttons creates an anchor point and allowing you to rotate, turn, flip and loaf around the levels (that is the one and only bread related pun in this review, I promise). Using both sets of shoulder buttons simultaneously may feel awkward, but remember you are in control of a delicate, yet nimble, slice of bread and not a sports car. While the left analog stick inches your way across surfaces, the use of all four shoulder buttons acting as corners of the bread makes the controls unique. Although the game is currently only available on PC, you'll want to use a controller and avoid playing the game with mouse and keyboard at all costs.
I Am Bread tv#
Who needs a toaster when an oven, hair straightener, lawn mower and even a broken TV can crisp each side of the bread just as easily? Thinking outside of the box certainly helps in I am Bread.Ĭontrolling a slice of bread, as proven by my fruitless first attempt, is no easy task. Although the toaster appears to be your clear goal, each level has multiple objects that can be used to make toast, with some harder to reach than others. The first level makes the most sense, which is saying a lot in a game of this caliber.A loaf of bread is left out on the kitchen table as the camera pans across the room, revealing the heat waves emanating from the toaster left in the "on" position. Of course, it wouldn't be a Bossa title if it was a simple task as you'll have to navigate across various locales to accomplish your goal in life. I am Bread however, has you take control of a sentient slice of bread with the single goal of becoming the best tasting toast possible.

I've come to expect a certain quirkiness to Bossa Studios titles, especially after performing heart surgery in the back of a moving ambulance and chucking organs out the wildly swinging back doors like disposable objects in Surgeon Simulator.
