Evaluation

Moldbreaker: Rise of the Loaf is a free-to-play action platformer created by a team of 19 students at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences as part of their Bachelor program. The game launched on January 21, 2025 and received several patches in the weeks that followed, addressing bugs, accessibility settings, and UI improvements. On March 23, 2025, the studio released v1.1.0 — a substantial update adding opening and ending cutscenes along with a speedrun mode. Alongside this update, Silly Business explicitly stated: "This is it for us, thank you for playing and enjoying Moldbreaker! Till we meet again." This is a clear, direct declaration that development has concluded. A minor security patch (v1.1.1) was later issued to address a Unity vulnerability, but this was purely a maintenance fix and does not indicate any renewed content development. No further content has been announced or is expected. The game is complete as of March 23, 2025.

About this game

The Bread Kingdom is crumbling! A sinister Mold is spreading, threatening to consume every loaf and crumb. Step into the crust of Bradley, a brave breadapus, as he rises to save his world. Explore vibrant breadscapes and venture deep into the luscious bread forests, the rumored source of the moldy infestation.

Join Bradley, a brave bread hero with a waffle tail, as he embarks on a daring quest to save the Bread Kingdom! Traverse three, short but loafy, platforming levels, battling creeping mold and cleansing the kingdom’s infected inhabitants before they’re lost forever. Can you stop the rise of the Mold Kingdom and restore the realm of doughy delights? The fate of the Bread Kingdom lies in your flour-covered paws!
