The butter cube, the game's main character

ButterMeUp!

A stick of butter runs for its life across a very hot kitchen, chasing a slice of toast named Panita.

What it is

An arcade auto-runner with one twist: you are made of butter, and you are melting the whole time. Fire platforms speed you up and cook you twice as fast. Snow slows the melt but turns every landing into a skid. Honey grabs your feet. Jelly launches you. The bar in the corner is your life, and it is always going down.

Why the running

Her name is Panita, and she is waiting at the end of every level. That is the whole reason for the sprint: get across the kitchen before you are a puddle, and reach her with something left of yourself.

Butter and toast, together at last.

What is in it

Three per level, tucked down risky routes. Dying resets them, so a clean 3 of 3 has to be earned in one run.

Endless mode

Infinity generates fresh ground forever. All-time and weekly leaderboards.

Seventeen achievements

From your first flip to collecting every last bread in the game.
