About The Short Bread Game

✦ AI summary

The Short Bread Game is a casual platformer where you play as a piece of bread journeying through quirky environments from your home to space in search of the perfect pancake breakfast. Navigate past mischievous enemy desserts and a troublemaking companion in a low-stress adventure that balances charming exploration with lighthearted obstacles.

Being a piece of bread, you naturally crave a stack of pancakes for breakfast. To start off your day and, more importantly, fill your stomach, you set off on a journey to get the best pancakes in town. However, you soon realize you have no clue where the bakery is. Thankfully, it seems like an intruder in your house may just know where you can find it...In this casual platformer, you explore environments ranging from your home to space. Though getting to your end goal doesn't seem hard at first, you soon find that the path there is a tad convoluted, with enemy desserts jumping around at every turn, trying to stop you. Not to mention, your new friend seems to enjoy messing around with you a bit. If you're looking for a low-stress way to take a break, this may just be the game for you. :)

✦ AI summary

The Short Bread Game is a short indie platformer with mixed reception among players. Supporters praise its visual appeal and acknowledge it as a competent first project, though critics point out significant issues with unresponsive controls, poor collision detection, slow movement mechanics, and unfair enemy hitboxes that undermine the experience. Players seem to agree it's worth trying given the price point, though expectations should be set accordingly for a rough early effort.

Well this isn't a cozy platformer, it sure does have a cozy art style but its more of a precision platformer. I am quite fond of those so this wasn't that big of a deal for me but I think by labelling it as cozy platformer it might reach the wrong audience who might quickly get fed up of it.

Cool visually! Controls with mouse are odd but the game itself is entertaining eye candy.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
