Very fun game, I especially liked the baugette mechanic :D Had to rage-quite on 3-3 unfortunately, cause it became a pixel-hunting nightmare for me (or perhaps I chose the wrong tactic), but stil a good entry :) I could only leave one wish to make the death sound quieter, it is too loud among other sounds and when you suddenly die, it really shocks my ears.

Thanks! (I have a soft spot for the baguette as well.)
Yes, the easy tactic of level 3-3 is really not obvious, as I didn’t give a lot of hints before. (Spoilers: You can actually drop the bread into the void, and the ghosts will follow it.) I planned on having two ways to solve the level (one for normal players, one for speed-runners), but by hiding the easy solution it just became a terribly balanced level. ^^’
And you are right for the sound, I’ll be more careful next time!
Great use of the themes! I really really appreciated the efforts you have put in for the tutorials. We are not often bless by training wheels with game jam games, but you did a really solid job with that. A really good thing too as the game got hard real fast with all the bread eating ghost on my heels. They probably aren't that hard, but I am easily panicked when playing platform games so it didn't take much for them to scare the crap out of me when I am trying to be aerodynamic while holding a piece of bread.
Overall a really solid game even if I wasn't terribly good at it. Oh and the bread growing mechanic made me chuckle. :D

Monster Toast!Thank you very much for your feedback! I am often guilty of leaving the tutorial to the last minute, then not have time to finish it, and end up with an unplayable game. This time I decided to change and made the tutorial my priority. ^^ I think it was the right decision (and so do you!), I will keep this strategy for next times.
I wished I had time for more levels, and make a smoother learning curve, but who doesn’t want more time in a game jam? If you reached the ghost it means you played at least all the levels of Chapter 1, so that’s already good!
And thank you again! The growing baguette was the first idea I had when I started making the game.
Really cool game, i like the simple art and music, the 3-3 level was really hard to beat, i got world record in the second chapter (hoorray!) it was really fun to play, great job.

UnderbakerThank you! And well done for the top score! I’ve updated the screenshot of chapter 2’s leaderboard in the game description, so everyone can see your prowess. ;)
Yes, level 3-3 has a simple and a hard solution. I kept the hard solution in case anyone wanted to get a good highscore. But I didn’t make the easy solution obvious at all, so I’m pretty sure no-one thought of it… ^^’
A frustrating puzzle game that makes up for it with its cute graphics and neat concept. Makes me hate bread-ghosts more than ever!

Run From FlamesFun puzzle game with some cool mechanics and good art. The ghosts definitely made it challenging, especially the spiky ones.

Ghosts Hate ToastI thought that was fantastic - well thought out, uses the theme well and was fun to play. Nice work!

Dino Bread Delivery ServiceFun game. Great use of the three themes.
I didn't use any cheats at all, so I'm not sure about those.
The ghosts can be a real challenge. Difficult platforming at times. I think I was misjudging horizontal momentum at times, making the platforming a bit difficult to get used to. Some indication of the floor being death in the 3rd part would be nice, but it's quick enough to figure that out.
Overall, great game!

The Baker's ApprenticeThanks for the feedback! :)
Ah yes, the cheats! Well, I wanted to add an in-game indication, but it sort of slipped through my mind. ^^’ Not that it’s actually very powerful (didn’t want to give a time advantage because of the leaderboard).
Rexy had no momentum, I probably should have left a little to make it feel more natural. For the floor in chapter 3 you’re completely right. I wasn’t careful about how the scene looks like if the screen is resized: what looked like void can look like a regular floor.
