Gameplay[]
In Big Time Butter Baron, you're presented with a big board on the floor of the butter factory and are given a lineup of butter blocks arranged in various shapes. The goal of each level is to arrange the butter blocks in such a way that at least 50% of the board is covered with butter blocks, thereby meeting the day's quota and letting you move on to the next level. When this happens all butter blocks from the previous level are cleared and every space that wasn't filled is then filled with a Blocker, which serves as an obstacle as it doesn't count towards the quota and is removed from the board after a certain number of rounds (the number on a Blocker tells you how many levels it'll stay on the board for). As you get to higher levels, Blockers will stay on the board for longer, making it harder to work around them as they continue to block the board, but every once in a while you'll receive an eraser block which you can use to destroy Blockers. More butter blocks also appear as the game progresses, for example a C shaped piece in Level 6 and a plus shaped piece in Leve 11. The game ends if you cannot place any blocks and you have not met the quota.

Trivia[]
- Whenever a five-tile block is up next in your lineup of blocks, alarm lights will start flashing to warn you due to five-tile blocks being particularly tricky to place.
- Throughout the levels, various flavors of butters manufactured by the butter company are revealed at the start of each level. These flavors include Snow Butter, White Choc Butter, Baboon Butter, Seasky Butter, Apple Butter, Cherry Butter, Dill Butter, Mystery Butter, Plank Butter, Whale Butter, Banana Butter, Shadow Butter, Cola Butter, and Teriyaki Butter.
- As you progress through the game, each level contains visual gags that get more and more absurd as you reach higher levels. They are as follows:
- Level 1: Just a normal scene showing a lone employee riding around on an elevated platform.
- Level 2: A few more employees have begun congregating on the factory floor beneath the board.
- Level 3: Now even more employees are gathering around and socializing on the factory floor.
- Level 4: Similar to the previous level's scene, but now the employees are much fatter.
- Level 5: The employees are partying on the factory floor, wearing party hats and blowing party horns.
- Level 6: The employees are now having a pillow fight.
- Level 7: The employees are having kart races on the factory floor.
- Level 8: The employees are having a big dance party.
- Level 9: The employees are being attacked by giant fish that keep eating the employees.
- Level 10: A security force has arrived to fight off the fish.
- Level 11: The fish are gone, and janitors are cleaning up the mess. After this level, the scene resets to Level 1's scene and cycles through all the scenes again.
