Can we stop for a moment and examine the narrative being told by this game? We have a sentient piece of bread whose sole motivation in life is to become toast, staying as delicious as possible so that any human that happens along will eat it, thus rendering the bread no longer bread as it is then chewed, digested, and eventually shat. The only win state available is to reach the toaster in a suitably delicious condition. In effect, we are playing an exceedingly frustrating and convoluted assisted suicide.
In all honesty, I think this is actually a pretty fun game... As long as it's not more then 10-5 Bucks, I'm perfectly fine with it. It has a game-concept, and it takes it completely through the game. And it plays with physics not only in the way that they spazz out but are actually used for the gameplay. Good Idea, well made, 10/10 *_IGN:_*_ It's average_
I agree it looks decently interesting for a few bucks it has solid gameplay (well as solid as a physics simulator gets when it comes to being "wacky") and it has an objective with the idea of getting from point a to point b (and I imagine then back to point a) by being cautious of the same environment you are traversing. Right now its $8.49 which I feel is a *bit* too much for me. Maybe at $5-6. I probably would grab with little hesitation at less than $3
"I don't think Im making a particularly entertaining video." That's because you're acting like a normal person while playing. You have to overreact and act like a cartoon character for these types of videos to become "funny." And hey, there's nothing wrong with either side of those coins, different things for different people. We like jim for jim, they like pew for pew.
gotta agree with ya, i mean i enjoy Jimquisition, but also all those "Cartoony" youtuber who act like they escaped a cartoon, hell chances are good i would also be a cartoony youtuber if i would bloody try to upload something different then Replays from games that allow me to upload the replays to youtube. but yeah, ya got a point there. some people like Jim, some like Pew.
Lizzardtong Stop existing, it's hurting my brain that you do. Making sense on the internet isn't what I signed up to it for. I WANT IDIOTS DAMNIT AND YOU'RE NOT ONE OF THEM.
JesusSeaWarrior as long as i exist, i will breath Intelligence until no idiots exist anymore! i will become a Beacon of Light on the Internet! you can't stop me! *Insert laughter here*
"Hey guys. Look at me ! I'm so wacky and crazy, even though i'm not interesting in anyway and i have no depth whatsoever, i will still sell really well because i will fucking force every fucking youtuber to play me because fuck quality games !! Let's just put some wacky shit that will get old in 20 minuets"
This game is supposed to be good fun, it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It's the antithesis to almost every game having to be dark and have fucking batman-esque characters.
O_O I once thought "well the only shit that remains to be done, would be a bread simulator..." Teh prophecy iz tru!!11! iluminateh confurmed!!!!oneleven!!1!!
When I was a kid playing 8-bit games on my Atari, I used to dream about the future of video gaming and couldn't wait for the time when we'd be able to play games as an animated piece of bread. It is truly an amazing age we live in.
I guess I'm not as cool or as sophisticated as everyone commenting on this video. I personally really enjoy relaxing games like this, and hope people make more of them. Besides, the world needs more variety, and I'd like to see games let you play as everything you'd like to play as, be it a slice of bread, a goat, or even a blade of grass.
I'm always for games that play well and are fun. The concept here is both... stupidly silly but has potential to it as well. Sadly, for the current version of it, there's not a whole lot to the experience. Mayhaps I'll change my opinion if the developer expands on it more.
This reminds me of surgeon simulator as a game where its fun for like 20 minutes, maybe 45 if you're drunk with friends but not something worth paying for
Isaac Argesmith You could argue that, but IMO Mount Your Friends seem to have a lot more merit than this game. Mount Your Friends have good potential for local co-op non-broadcasted play, but this game just seem kinda... dull.
Claus Jensby Madsen I found mount your friends pretty boring, but I'd play the fuck out of this. Each to their own. And honestly how did you even find that connection? They're both YT fodder and yet completely dissimilar.
While it along with mount your friends and Surgeon Simulator are "TH-camr Bait" they raise themselves above the feces laden bottom of the barrel that Goat Simulator likes to roll around in. They do this by being both well made and actually having some form of challenge and goal to them.
hahahaha i thought that was jim going hard on the joystick before realising it was an ingame sound. This was a fun one jim. You get frustrated guuud :>
Game could actually be fun if you had multiplayer mode as a 3D Mount Your Friend, where instead of a goat you mount a baguette. For extra challenge include a peanut butter side that make it harder to unstuck from surface.
I found the video hilarious. You managed to kill an almost sentient slice of bread by crushing it with a chair and your off the cuff rage at the failstates was icing on the cake. I Almost fell over I was laughing so hard. Not sure where you get the idea that your videos like this are not entertaining. This video was great!
I honestly think you're having too much fun. You admit that you don't talk very much when you're having fun, and it's the commentary that makes a large amount of the video entertaining.
I'd say it has a lot of charm to it. It knows youtubers are going to play it, but I don't think it was made only for youtubers. This game looks more fun that surgeon simulator to me. Surgeon Simulator was laughing at me more than I was laughing at it, and didn't let me get creative past smashing things.
Bready yum yum. Know what id do to that piece of bread? Look it in the eye, and say: "Just you and me now you dirty slice of non toast, and im all out of bubble gum"
All around the country, from coast to coast. People always say what do you like most. I won't want to brag, I don't want to boast. I've always told them I like toast. YEAH TOAST!! *drops mic*
To be fair Jim, I think you're the only person I could watch play this. And just once. I could not see anyone playing this more than 1 video.. let along for another 9 minutes.
i don't see much wrong with this game, its a physics platformer basically, an even allows for some player creativeness by allowing you to get toasted in multiple ways, with a good few levels i think this could be a legitimately good game in the way surgeon simulator was.
Cuts aside, it looks like a cross between Octodad and Mount Your Friends, both games I enjoy greatly. Skill based physics games have the leeway to have goofy premises and fun gameplay, and it looks like this one hits it on both fronts.
SeriousPain This though looks like a rip-off of Mount Your Friends. They just exchanged the competitiveness with banality to make for this Octopus Dad kind of humour.
Not fun. Frustrating, difficult, but it's only difficult because of the obtuse controls. When you lose, it just feels unfair rather than because you need to 'git gud'.
Don't fret sterling. I've done the same thing many a times with my razors too, and when I do - I immediately ponder how I even made it out of my mother's womb and manage to breath on a daily basis. Please don't take this out of context...
Lol I find you funny jim, much more......bearable than pewdiepie and much more entertaining since your honest and not disingenuous like he is. Keep it up!
I'm reminded of I-Fluid. It's not as bad as other games, but I wonder where subsequent levels go to. If it manages to do some interesting things like I-Fluid, it might not be a bad game.
I've watched Northernlion play this game and it looked like a good fun to me. It's more polished and fleshed out then most of the games from this weird... genre, the setting is original, so all in all it's not too shabby. I have to say though, 10€ seems too much for what is basically a little more then a proof of concept. It's only 4 levels, can be beaten in an hour or less. There are more levels "comming soon" but promises are not enough. If the developer were to add 10 more levels, all with different gimmicks and puzzles (not just an obstacle course) I could see myself playing that game!
This reminds me of a different simulator game, one that also involved bread, that Jim featured on a Jimquisition once. Can't for the life of me remember the name though.
Yeaah this looks like Pewdiebait in the extreme
What do you mean?
Games that are stupid and with no point at all for the joy of making TH-cam videos for the masses
Fabio Trilho Oh, OK. I thought it was yet another dig at PewDiePie.
TheUltimateFanBoy it was ...
Thepuddingof doom Knew it.
Automatic points for not being called "Bread Simulator"

Shit game, no depth. 10/10 Amazing, worth the price - IGN.
They should have designed this to be a game where you play as pieces of a sandwich that you have to bring together to complete the sandwich.
And then Heavy eats you.

This was some breadtaking gameplay
A toast to your comment, Sir.

"Jim fucking sterling, son"
HOLY SHIT! we need to get you to PEWDIEPIE.
IMMEDIATELY!
Still better than goat simulator.
Duck Fuckturay everything is better than bloody goat simulator !
This game is supposed to be good fun, it doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.
It's the antithesis to almost every game having to be dark and have fucking batman-esque characters.
Now, I am become Bread, destroyer of appetites.
Honestly, I found that pretty entertaining.
...but can it go 60 grains per second?
O_O
I once thought "well the only shit that remains to be done, would be a bread simulator..."
Teh prophecy iz tru!!11! iluminateh confurmed!!!!oneleven!!1!!
You say these videos aren't entertaining, but this honestly had me on the edge of my seat throughout.
ROFL!!!! God I haven't laughed hard in a long time when that chair fell on you it was priceless XD
RIP Jim Sterling, he died as he lived. Bleeding heavily from finger wounds.
When I was a kid playing 8-bit games on my Atari, I used to dream about the future of video gaming and couldn't wait for the time when we'd be able to play games as an animated piece of bread. It is truly an amazing age we live in.
I for one welcome our bread development overlords.
I really waiting that HD *Pong* reboot, thou.
MeleeMaster MAA Yeah but they aren't adding a female character so the internet is going to get upset again.
To be fair, Jim, those last three minutes brought me tears of laughter. :)
I guess I'm not as cool or as sophisticated as everyone commenting on this video. I personally really enjoy relaxing games like this, and hope people make more of them.

Like the game "Flower" maybe :)
Oh god you think this game is RELAXING?! This was the most needlessly obtuse difficult game I've ever played.
ok, really freaking funny kim. i enjoyed this one.
Best part of Jim videos is trying to figure out what is going to make him quit when you see there's only 30 seconds left
This reminds me of surgeon simulator as a game where its fun for like 20 minutes, maybe 45 if you're drunk with friends but not something worth paying for
but how can you kill that which is already bread?
I am bread
"Man, That was some prince of persia shit." -- Jim Sterling
Misquoting since 1990, and thank god for Jim.
"Fuck wizard!"
Hero of the day. Best commentary. Thank God for you, Mr Sterling.
It's like the programmers were thinking of a way to imitate Shadow of the Colossus while trying to enjoy an insufficient breakfast.
So this is a cheap TH-cam bait version of Mount Your Friends.
Edit: and it looks kinda tedious.
Wasn't mount your friends TH-cam bait?
Isaac Argesmith You could argue that, but IMO Mount Your Friends seem to have a lot more merit than this game. Mount Your Friends have good potential for local co-op non-broadcasted play, but this game just seem kinda... dull.
Claus Jensby Madsen True.

Bread constantly being flipped around - why was this so entertaining?
I'm from the future. You DO make entertaining videos. You're the greatest showman in videogame history, after all.
Oh, good lord, Jim. Not a single podtoid/DJ/FSM sketch has made my skin crawl like the description of your injury.
Probably one of the better "wacky physics" games made in recent memory.
This actually looks pretty fun.
hahahaha i thought that was jim going hard on the joystick before realising it was an ingame sound. This was a fun one jim. You get frustrated guuud :>
Game could actually be fun if you had multiplayer mode as a 3D Mount Your Friend, where instead of a goat you mount a baguette. For extra challenge include a peanut butter side that make it harder to unstuck from surface.
iniudan make it a race type of game. Have like 20 breads at the start flopping all over each other. That could be fun...for a few minutes xD
I like this game and this video, you did a good job making with the entertainment, don't worry!
I don't know what your talking about jim, that was really funny!
It seems like Jim was more frustrated with his inability to Bread than the Bread itself.
You claim that you dont know how to make these videos enjoyable, and yet i enjoyed this more than your "The Crew" video.
I found the video hilarious. You managed to kill an almost sentient slice of bread by crushing it with a chair and your off the cuff rage at the failstates was icing on the cake. I Almost fell over I was laughing so hard. Not sure where you get the idea that your videos like this are not entertaining. This video was great!
Finally!
The spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus we've all been waiting for.
I've played this game for a couple of hours, currently on day 3, didn't even know there was a toaster in this level.
Fucking mint. Also, Jim, you're a god damn baller.
I honestly think you're having too much fun. You admit that you don't talk very much when you're having fun, and it's the commentary that makes a large amount of the video entertaining.
your snark is what makes it funny lol
Saw this on Steam. Said to myself, "That's Jim Sterling material!". Came to TH-cam, was not deceived.
The "taking damage" sound effect is oddly satisfying
I abosultely love the rage though xD
You said these videos are not funny, but when you exclaimed about your pig hands I lost it.
Breadad, the breadliest catch.
I was....Actually impressed and amused.
Spiderbread, Spiderbread, sees the toaster up ahead
Flips a chair any size, catches bacteria just like flies
Look out, here comes the Spiderbread
How heavy is this bread that it can break plates, tip over chairs and all that jazz? Jesus. :P
I'd say it has a lot of charm to it. It knows youtubers are going to play it, but I don't think it was made only for youtubers. This game looks more fun that surgeon simulator to me. Surgeon Simulator was laughing at me more than I was laughing at it, and didn't let me get creative past smashing things.
Jim you did good on this video
Bready yum yum.
Know what id do to that piece of bread?
Look it in the eye, and say: "Just you and me now you dirty slice of non toast, and im all out of bubble gum"
Reminds me a bit of Octodad. You play an awkwardly controlled character as you try to get that character to do normal tasks.
I saw this game yesterday and instantly said to myself "can't wait for gym to play this soon" :)
Well jim I simply enjoy the sound of your voice. I also like your input here and there as far as games go.
How heavy is this slice of bread? broke a bowl and pushed a chair over..Amazing!
All around the country, from coast to coast. People always say what do you like most.
I won't want to brag, I don't want to boast. I've always told them I like toast.
YEAH TOAST!! *drops mic*
you broke the 3 second rule you can no longer eat that bread now its been on the floor
To be fair Jim, I think you're the only person I could watch play this.
And just once. I could not see anyone playing this more than 1 video.. let along for another 9 minutes.
That game looks brilliant. If it's not too expensive and does some cool things with level design I'll freakin' buy that.
I hope you get 10 more likes. I sympathize with your struggle.
i don't see much wrong with this game, its a physics platformer basically, an even allows for some player creativeness by allowing you to get toasted in multiple ways, with a good few levels i think this could be a legitimately good game in the way surgeon simulator was.

The jaunty music is totally at odds with the story being told, of a suicidal piece of bread that only wants to cremate itself.
aaaaafgfghghghhghaaaaa didnt need the razor story.... oh god, why did you do that :'( you hert me in de feels
Honestly with your voice, you could talk about things you see out your window and I'd be interested.
TH-cam bait game but actually seems to be fun. Frustrating, but fun.
The guys who made Surgeon Simulator know how to make those games. With few exceptions most others just rip-off the ideas.

Not fun. Frustrating, difficult, but it's only difficult because of the obtuse controls. When you lose, it just feels unfair rather than because you need to 'git gud'.
I love that music.
Oh, God, Jim this is hilarious, you have no idea.
Don't fret sterling. I've done the same thing many a times with my razors too, and when I do - I immediately ponder how I even made it out of my mother's womb and manage to breath on a daily basis. Please don't take this out of context...
You need a top piece of bread for the chair sandwich
I can't believe I actually want to buy this...
And have some toast.
From Surgeon Simulator to....this? I had respect for the devs, but this just killed it.
the misbegotten offspring of mount your friends and octodad
Lol I find you funny jim, much more......bearable than pewdiepie and much more entertaining since your honest and not disingenuous like he is.
Keep it up!
i feel like you needed a hug after that one jim xxx
Best indie game yet. I love it
Poor Jim. Hope you heal up soon
It looks fun, i´'ll probably buy it.
Oh the wonders of modern technology...
7:30 In my mind I was imagining Jim sitting at his computer with a pig on his lap forcing it to play this.
I'm reminded of I-Fluid.
It's not as bad as other games, but I wonder where subsequent levels go to. If it manages to do some interesting things like I-Fluid, it might not be a bad game.
I've watched Northernlion play this game and it looked like a good fun to me. It's more polished and fleshed out then most of the games from this weird... genre, the setting is original, so all in all it's not too shabby.

There are more levels "comming soon" but promises are not enough. If the developer were to add 10 more levels, all with different gimmicks and puzzles (not just an obstacle course) I could see myself playing that game!
In the ending where he loses his shit.... omg I'm walrus laughing..
I think Jim's more of a cereal person.
This looks a lot like I-Fluid without the checkpoints.
Damn that chair. You get pinned more than a WWE intercontinental champion, Jim. :)
Now if a beautiful princess kisses the toast will it turn into a Jim sterling?
Don't you mean "you wish you were... Bread?" AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA
This would have made a brilliant uncivil war XD
That chair is way too light, a slice of bread tips it over?
I am Bread,... and I must scream.
These kinds of games are only entertaining for me when I'm hallucinating.
The terrifying adventures of possessed demon bread.
Well with Jim bleeding I guess that means there's more "squirty" in this episode then just the title of the series.
I don't think the edibility of that bread was ever 100%... I mean it shattered a teacup by touching it. I don't want that anywhere near my teeth.
Jim, you need to do a tap dance, i would watch that more than i watch this
Your cut hand has not changed your game play.
This reminds me of a different simulator game, one that also involved bread, that Jim featured on a Jimquisition once. Can't for the life of me remember the name though.
Oh god, it was like Baking Simulator or some such shit.
Baking Simulator didn't have bread, or I don't remember it having, and was just a Surgeon Simulator rip-off.
Jim Sterling What makes this game better? EDIT: nvm, I see why.
That's the one! Baking simulator eh? Jesus.
