Controls

Butter Player

• Left – Smear butter
• Right – Draw toast

Jam Player

• O (or Z on PC) – Draw toast
• X – Smear jam

Simple controls, fast reactions.

Rules & Gameplay

This is a local 2-player game where both players race to smear the sentient toast — the toast with eyes and a mouth — as fast as possible.

Smear the correct toast first to earn a point.

But be careful: smearing a regular, non-sentient toast gives your opponent the point instead.

The first player to win a best of 9 match takes the victory.

Quick rounds, constant tension, and plenty of chances to mess up.

Behind the Scenes

This is my third game, created for a 36-hour game jam (Devs that Jam). The main goal was to challenge myself to work faster and keep the scope under control. I think I managed fairly well, even though there are still a few minor bugs to iron out.

Because of the time limit, I decided not to compose the music myself this time. Overall, I wanted to make something small, chaotic, and fun — the kind of game you can play with a friend when you have a bit of downtime.

For now, the game is finished, but I might come back to polish it further in the future.
