A LITTLE ERRAND. A LOT OF BOUNCE.
A small game.
A spectacular errand.
Breadwinner is a physics platformer by Nathannemyman and the Breadwinner team. Your job is simple: get to the bakery, buy a loaf, and bring it home. Doing all that on a pogo stick is the tricky part.
This browser adaptation keeps the original game’s levels, art, and pogo-stick mechanics.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Common questions.
How do I start a new run?
Choose New on the game’s title screen. Click through all four comic pages, then choose Next once more to start your run. Follow the four tutorial pages to learn the controls.
Does the game save my progress?
The game keeps run state while it stays open. This version does not save a run across page refreshes. Restarting or closing this page ends that session.
The game won’t load. What can I try?
Try a current browser with WebGL 2 and hardware acceleration enabled. Let the download finish, then click inside the game. If loading fails, use Try again. Some browsers and devices may not support fullscreen.
Can I play on my phone?
On-screen lean and charge buttons are available during a run. Landscape gives the game more room. This WebGL version needs a compatible browser and enough memory; performance varies by device.
How do I pause or start over?
Use Pause below the game during a run. Restart reloads the player and ends the current session; it asks you to confirm first.
Which Breadwinner game is this?
