I know the title said it, but my jaw dropped once it happened! This was amazing! lots of fun and shockingly extensive. Really great job and the face on the main square character is great!
What a funky idea! Really clever :)
Really cool game. But I do not know why this bug happened lmao
I thought that we had fixed all level loading issues, apparently not. Sorry about that.
Glad you like it anyway 😅
That's very awesome! I love the gameplay so much!
Interesting way to combine the menu with the game itself nice!
cool concept. good job. (thank god for the hint on lvl 3)
Fun to play, great puzzle, pretty funny actually that you need to use the pause menu lol. Great game!
pretty cool game
Original take on the theme! I've played a few games over the years where you use menu objects for the game, but you did find some new stuff here. It's also impressive you got so many levels out of it, almost got stuck on a few of them. Sometimes the "back" button in the pause menu didn't work, locking me in graphics or audio menu, so had to reload the page a few times.
Really fun idea! The timing required for some jumps made it quite difficult sometimes (level 7 comes to mind) and I couldn't get past level 22! I agree with suggestions adding 'coyote time' would help a bit.
Still had fun playing, well done.
Thanks!
You can skip levels using the level select screen, by the way.
really cool concept done extremely well, gj
Love that the menu is also a working menu! Its fun to see how the level changes as you play!
Very clever concept and well executed. I loved how almost every level has multiple solutions. One thing I would recommend is to add coyote time to the jump or acceleration time to the movement because the controls made it difficult to time jumps off of small platforms. Still, it's definitely one of my favorites so far. Well done!
Thank you!
As with all things, there was a lot left to improve but the time budget meant that not everything could be fully executed. Just getting the UI to integrate properly took a long time unfortunately.
I dig the aesthetic and the idea of using the menu elements to help you out
