Dan Goodsell has just launched the official Mr. Toast game for iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad). The arcade style game has you control his signature character as you weave around obstacles while picking up vital speedups in the shape of food and precious bonus time all in the quest to get to the finish line (‘levels’ mode) or extend your run (‘infinite’ mode). Featuring hand-drawn art from Goodsell himself and catchy retro style music, Mr. Toast is at first challenging (the tilt controls take a bit of practice, at least for this 40-something blogger) and then charming game.
After having played two levels, I’ve noticed plenty of fun touches including powerups such as Ghost and Mega Toast as well as amusing obstacles including a cell phone that delays you by forcing you to endure a conversation with Shaky Bacon and other characters. Speaking of Bacon, there are bonus levels to unlock which let you play as Shaky Bacon and Joe the Egg. If you love Mr. Toast, go check out the game in the Apple App Store – it’s only 99 cents.
