Having the floor count as dirty, as well as ant-covered surfaces, makes sense, but the cat food dish apparently counting as "clean", as well as a skateboard and a chair (where you put your feet and your butt, respectively), seems strange. What's "dirty" and what isn't seems a little arbitrary. Being extremely soft and floppy, of course, you'll find yourself getting caught on or under on a lot of small lips and edges in pieces of furniture. Most of the time it comes down to developing a rhythm and trying to make that second nature, but even if your reflexes are on point you can still get hung up on things. Even if you're using a controller, the way the bread flips and rotates means you have to be able to mentally adjust to automatically changing directions.

It requires a lot of hand-eye coordination and reflexes, the sort of thing that can quickly take you from "Haha!" as the bread flops around to "What's the matter with you? The toaster is your home! Are you too good for your home?"

Don't worry, it regenerates when you're not using it. If you're not using a controller,, ,, and each correspond to a different corner of the bread slice (is this really a real thing I'm describing?), while, ,, and can toggle each corner's grip on and off (I guess it is), which will let you stick to things for as long as your grip meter, at the top of the screen, holds out. You can move, sort of, via gripping with each corner in varying combinations, and using those corners as anchors when you flop around.

Half the time I think they believe I'm making it up, so what am I supposed to do now that I've played I Am Bread, the latest bizarro indie game from Surgeon Simulator 2013 team Bossa Studios? Currently available in Early Access, it's the physics-driven tale of, yes, a slice of bread who desperately wants to become toast. My father-in-law, a retired serviceman who looks like Charlie Chaplin, chuckles bemusedly and half disbelievingly when I tell him I'm writing about human/pigeon romance, magical pony princess P.I.s, and amateur butterfingers open-heart surgery.
