“We're hugely excited to bake this game with the Steam community in the upcoming months,” commented Head Baker, Henrique Olifiers. “It's always tricky to get a totally new game recipe right, and watching players excited by the reveal of I Am Bread really gave us the much needed yeast raise to keep cooking out original games.”

“OK, I'm out of puns now... Our mission of jamming innovative game formats that cannot be defined by genres while bringing new gameplay aspects to the players is what makes us tick. With I Am Bread we paired novel game mechanics, an original setting (bread!) and a unique control scheme that players can become adept at as they play. Once one tries it, a huge horizon of possibilities opens up, and we hope to explore it with content conceived in partnership with our players.“

So many puns.

You've got to give them points for originality at least, but if this is the same studio that made Surgeon Simulator, suddenly it all makes sense...

 

[Thagarr]

Indeed, many puns used in the press release, and several more I have come up with on my own, but I will spare you!

Interesting, it does indeed appear to be the same studio. I purchased it on Steam and was going to give it a quick play through, but it is Windows only and I am currently in Linux. I will reboot in to Windows and give it a good testing this weekend.

What got my attention was the way it uses the keypad controls, that is something I don't think I have ever seen in any game. Bread needing to be toasted is also strangely something I can relate to as well...

 

[Thagarr]

I actually did get around to playing this a few weeks ago, but forgot to post here. I haven't played it all that much, but it was quite challenging learning how to flip yourself around with the keypad! It was also actually quite fun!

I just ran across this press release today, they are working on an iOs version, I curious to see how they transfer the keypad control.

Snack On The Go as I AM BREAD Gets Set For Delivery on iOS

You’re out and about with a craving for toast, but all the cafes are closed. What do you do? Go hungry?

Not any more, as Bossa Studios has come to the rescue of toasties everywhere with the announcement that I am Bread will be rising on iOS in the coming months. Bossa’s Master Bakers are currently tweaking the original recipe for I am Bread to ensure they deliver the same great taste already available on PC for those who enjoy their gaming on the go.

I am Bread for iOS will feature all the new content Bossa is adding to the Steam Early Access version, including this week’s major update – an all new garage area in which to find more innovative ways of turning golden brown and Cheese Hunt mode starring Crispbread.

Check out all of the new features in the latest Bread Diary Video!
Before making the leap to iOS, however, Bossa would like to reassure loaf lovers the world over that I am Bread is being baked to perfection for PC first and foremost, with the mobile slice looking to pop up later this year.

Yet another Toasty good update!

Latest I am Bread update adds Zero G and Bagels (hold the cream cheese)

Bossa Studios’ in-house astro scientists have got their hands on I am Bread and added a touch of moon dust to its already much loved recipe. The result is Space Mode – a bready mix of Zero-G and rocket boosters.

Yep, the boffins have attached mini rockets to each corner of our doughy hero using nano threads of spun wheat. The aim is still the same – become toast, but now players must adapt to a new way of playing using the rockets’ propulsion to avoid floating obstacles before docking with a heat source.

Not to be outdone, the Fabulous Baker Boys & Girls have also been hard at work and hot from the oven comes another new gameplay mode, Bagel Race. Its circular shape means only two movement points to control, but will you be able to get your roll on

These latest updates, available today, continue Bossa’s promise to deliver regular fresh content for I am Bread following its release on Steam Early Access at the end of last year.

It's out of this world [pained laughter]

Bossa's Bakers will also be at EGX Rezzed next week, giving players the chance to experience the real-life set of I Am Bread, and perhaps even meet Bread itself!

EGX Rezzed takes place at Tobacco Dock, London, 12-14 March.
