Toasty

About

You're the new chef at the world famous Toast-only restaurant! We've got all the ingredients ready to roll, but be careful, we can't be caught serving no sandwiches - those are forbidden here!

Toasty is a push-your-luck deck building game. During a shift, you'll draw ingredient cards to place on bread. Every stack needs bread to get started, but if you draw a bread card when you already have a stack going, you'll end up making a sandwich! Between rounds you'll have a chance to get new cards to add to your deck.

Screen Reader Support

This game uses screen reader support native to the browser. While there are no native HTML elements in the game, there is an interactive canvas that will update any running screen readers when the game state update.

Known Bugs

None known yet - report them, and I'll add them here. Any resolved issues can be found in the changelog below.

Mouse / Touch controls are experimental, I'll be continuing to work on these, and report here as these controls are enhanced.

Playing on Mobile appears to break with most screen readers, but I'll be working on improvements here, and will post when that is fully cooked.

In the past, people have mentioned that Screen Readers may not work as expected in the itch.io frame. If there are issues, you can find a dedicated host of the game here: https://jrjurman.com/love2d-toasty
