How does your game fit the theme?
The role of the pause menu is traditionally to stop the game so you can go get a snack. I reversed the role of the pause menu so that you must use it in a creative way to reach the goal!

Love the concept! It's reversed really fundamentally and the execution is really clean.  Had fun playing it!

Submitted

Fun game with interesting concepts!

Submitted

This is so far the best one I've played!

Definitely a big IQ game idea - the ability to slow time and change gravity is also really helpful

Submitted

I'm speechless on this game idea. It's super good and the execution is perfect

My game crashed on level 6, but the ideia is really good, congrats!

It probably didnt crash, try the level again with sound on if it was off

Submitted

Super clever design, the audio adds so much.

Definitely going to be in the top 20 video. Excellent job!

One of my absolute favorites from this jam, this game takes one unique twist in goes absolutely wild with it. It uses the pause idea in all sorts of different ways, with my favorite aspect being how the sliders influence the game rules (like gravity) in addition to acting as collision. It's crazy this was made in 2 days, this already feels like a full indie game!

super clever mechanics! really cool :)

Incredibly done for such a short jam. Very clean and tons of clever puzzles. The level names are great hints and I'm blown away.

Submitted

Very interesting concept and well executed. Amazing work!

Submitted

This is a really well designed game with super fun puzzles. Took awhile for me to understand that you can walk on the UI so in the future you may want to better tutorialize some mechanics. But honestly i really enjoyed this experience and would love to see a full game of this!

Submitted

So fun! Thanks for the hints. Great job team (:

Cool game and cool idea

This is a really cool idea, really impressive!

Submitted

I love the idea, it's a super fun puzzle game.

Submitted

Very cool idea. I did the thing with sizing down before the lvel asking for it. I was sure it was not intentional but it was actually a feature ahah!
Great job it is very fun to play :)

Submitted

Damn, this feels weird XD

Can't understand how to beat the 4rd level. Can't see anything in options to help me proceed, hmmm
