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!

i don't like this game, because you are put all of us to shame. Man how did you make such a good puzzle game is such a small time frame. I love it.

This is amazing! I can't believe this was made in 48 hours, well done :)

Submitted

very creative and fun! It's exciting to discover that you can do so many different things with a few options slides :)

Submitted

This is great! The options menu adds a lot of complexity that I think the game would be lacking if you only had the pause bar text in the middle of the screen. Great concept, even better execution!

Submitted

Wonderful mechanics.

This is deifintely one of the more creative mechanics I've seen! I'll be honest it took me a second to figure out to use the option menu. Haha! Awesome work!!!

Submitted

Wow I really liked it

Very smart and very fun! We had similar approaches to the theme but executed in very different ways. I love this so much, great job!

I liked this game!

Neat usage of pause menu mechanics, although it was a bit too confusing for me, lol. Might be just me.

Still, nice concept, good game, and neat art! The character in particular is cute.

This feels like a good, solid game! It kinda reminded me of a lot of the early 00's flash puzzle platformers, and I had a blast with it! Goodluck in the jam!
