Toast Time: 'refreshingly entertaining'. Photograph: PR

There are very few games based around the delights of all things bread-based, but the wonderfully titled Toast Time (Force of Habit, Android/iOS, £1.99) has more than novelty on its side. Required to prevent inter-dimensional beings from stealing an alarm clock, you play as a toaster with only various gluten-based snacks for weaponry. These are fired towards the enemy, the recoil providing the toaster's motion through the level. Hit enemies speedily while collecting the super-powered goodies that drop from the sky and the combos rack up to activate what else, but: "Coffee Time".

The lovely, pixelated graphics suit the tongue-in-cheek tone, but it's by no means a simple affair – there is a challenge here, illustrated when one becomes pinned down, powerless to prevent the baddies from cancelling the morning meal. But time your shots right and this is refreshingly entertaining bread and breakfast-based fun.
