How to play VECTATOAST

Hold to heat, let go on gold, pop your toast toaster to toaster up a neon kitchen tower.

Goal: Your toast sits in a toaster. Hold anywhere to heat it: the lever goes down and a landing marker slides out toward the next toaster. Let go when the marker glows gold over the slot and the toast pops up and drops straight in. Dead centre is a PERFECT, just off centre is GOOD, and a landing on the edge BONKS in and breaks your chain; land wide and it CLANKS off. Perfects in a row raise your multiplier, and five in a row set the toast ON FIRE: every point x2 until you bonk or miss. A miss costs one of your three slices of bread, hold too long and the toaster pops by itself, and once you start popping the SMOKE rises from below, so don't dawdle. GOLD toasters sit further away and pay x3. Every tenth floor a GRAND TOASTER clears the zone, gives a slice back and super-pops you into the next: the kitchen, the diner's sliding toasters, the bakery's steam and jelly, the rooftops' fans and a swiping cat, the storm's gusts and low-gravity ORBIT. Three missions a run earn stars for new breads, medals mark your best floor, and TODAY'S TOAST gives everyone the same tower.
