Avoid the Butter with War on Toast

Given that our family is always fighting over who gets the next piece of toast every morning for breakfast, I thought Toast of War looked like it could be a fun game to play to which we could all relate. So I decided to check it out myself first and assess the situation. First you have to familiarize yourself with the controls. You have the cursors which act as the basic controls (left and right ? move left and right; cursor up, aim up; cursor down, crouch, aim down and get in toaster ? that really does look like a fun one!; A is jump or jump out of toaster; S is attack and the shift key is hold to run) and then the weapon controls (Q is left weapon slot; W is middle weapon slot and E is right weapon slot and then you have the space bar which picks up weapons). If you get a bit overwhelmed in the game (or the phone rings) you can press P for pause.

Anyway the aim of the game is for the toast to avoid being attacked by the butter. But it is not so easy to do as you have to really understand the control keys to know how to do that and fast. The graphics are fun and it starts with a little animation between a granddad toast and his grandson. The grandson is asking his grandpa to tell him the story of the toast and he keeps having to repeat it. And then you (the grandson I guess) have to find different and creative ways of avoiding being attacked by the butter.

I did a lot of jumping in my first few games as that was the control I was most comfortable with and it certainly helped me avoid being attacked by the butter but as I progressed and played more games, I felt more comfortable trying out the other controls too. Definitely with War on Toast the more often you play it, the better your skills become. It is a cute idea and the graphics are fun so I would for sure recommend it.
