I guarantee you've never seen a toaster like this before! The Shmoober app stars an adorable little AI toaster that uses two-button controls in order to shoot the robots in the sky. The app is a vertical shooter-style game and even has its own 8-bit soundtrack. The app supports Game Center and Leaderboards so not only will you have fun but you can also get pretty competitive. The game takes place in the year 2035 so it’s meant to be futuristic. The backstory has humans living deep underground because of a battle taking place on the surface between all the AI appliances of earth and the horribly evil invaders/robots.
