Other times the bread would hardly move at all, and there were times where the entire piece of bread would just launch in the intended direction. Sometimes I would swipe and half of the piece of bread would flop up in the direction I swiped. It sounds easy and straightforward, but it is rarely reliable and I was hardly able to achieve the same results with each gesture I made, apart from the tapping. The control scheme in I Am Bread involved tapping to nudge the bread, swiping to bump the bread, and tap-and-holding to get the bread to stick to a surface.

I ultimately figured that one of the bread’s four corners would be assigned to one of the screen’s four corners. I wondered how this would translate to the mobile version. I saw how each corner of the bread had a button assigned to it, to, I assumed, help the player control the bread’s movements. Part of the reason for my accelerated disinterest came from how the game handled.īefore I played I Am Bread on my iPad, I watched the trailer on the game’s Steam page. It’s a funny concept, but I found it too dull much faster than its predecessors did. Unlike Surgeon Simulator, where failing is funny because surgery is such a serious thing in the real-world, or Goat Simulator, which is funny because you’re just a dumb goat, I Am Bread never approaches a high level of comedy simply because you’re a piece of white bread. I find them funny for a time, but ultimately I’m ready to put them away for good after about an hour or two. In these games, failing spectacularly is the draw which is why these sorts of games absolutely flourish on YouTube and Twitch. Games that are cute and silly, but are largely known for their loose controls which make seemingly simplistic tasks, overly difficult.

Players must complete objectives by flinging, flopping, dropping, and wiggling their way through the game’s seven levels as a piece of bread.Īs the child of Bossa Studios, I Am Bread appeals to the same sort of players who enjoy games like their previous Surgeon Simulator game, or even Goat Simulator from Coffee Stain Studios. I Am Bread is a simulator about what it would be like if Bread had a mind of its own. Let that sink in like butter melting into a warm piece of toast. I Am Bread is a game about being a slice of bread. Once you've absorbed the cutesy bread puns, it has nothing more to offer than a terrifically discouraging waste of your entertainment time.Not really all that amusing to begin with. is that a kazoo playing in the background? What I Am Bread amounts to really is a jokey one-liner stretched thin. The music is probably the highlight, being a silly mix of piano, whistling, and. Visually, the game isn't bad, but the art team's decision to go with realism makes for some fairly blah interiors. This mode, as the rest of I Am Bread, is amusing for around five minutes - or as long as it takes you to chuckle at the sight of Tie Fighters made from bagels and crackers. There's even a recently added space shooter mode called 'Starch Wars' in honor of May 4. If you can stay calm long enough to get through story mode, unlockable timed physics-based challenges such as Cheese Hunt and Bagel Race provide moderately more entertaining fare. Combined with random physics-related accidents, a wildly swinging camera, and a quickly diminishing “Edibility” meter, play is a truly frustrating experience. Gamepad controls are slightly better but not by much.

The PC controls are utterly useless and a great way to bring on a headache.

Unfortunately, it's all messed up with a horrible control scheme. Once there, you have to stay on or near that heat source until you’re toasted.

This silliness could have been a great setup for a spectacularly unique game, since the point is to flip and/or drag a slice of bread across kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms to some kind of heat source. Little does he know he's sharing his space with the world's most ambitious piece of bread. It starts with story mode, which illustrates the gradual mental degradation of some poor schmo who thinks he's losing his mind: Random pieces of toast keep appearing all over his house, making him think he's being pranked. I Am Bread draws you in with its wonderfully absurd premise.
