How does your game fit the theme?
Tired of playing games? Try pausing one! This is a puzzle platformer where glitchy menu buttons are the only method of control, and the player is asked to become a pauser.

This was so good! The humor was on point too. Great use of theme.
Thank you sarathi!!
Such an interesting and fun mechanic! Definitely the most creative platformer I've played :-) Loved how the music changed with the controls as well
Thanks :)
The mechanics, art style, music, and humor were all amazing! The idea of glitched buttons to solve puzzles is so creative and paired with the matching art style and funny story/text it makes such a great game! None of the levels felt too hard either and I had a great time playing.
Thank you!!!
This game is great; I love the mechanic changes from level to level, and none of them are too hard.
Thanks!!
great concept, great execution, while still funny
Thank youuu
I got stuck lmao. But it was a really fun game! I'd love to see it fleshed out even more
Lmao me too. Thanks!
Awesome game, love the ideas in here! Lots of "aha" moments, though some bits were tricky to do right. Would love to see more of this, well done!
I really want to see more of this too! We had another button designed but ran out of time...
Stay tuned!
Thanks!! aha
Love this game. Really like the art and concept. The messages were cracking me up.
Thanks so much! Gonna check yours out now!
Thank you Smithy Games
This is like one of those kickstarter disasters where they get $300K in funding and they can't implement even the most basic of features.
At first, I wasn't sure whether the constant changing of the game mechanics was a good idea. After all, a good puzzle game is all about learning the mechanics and having later puzzles build on skills learned earlier. But I think you struck a good balance of changing the mechanics in interesting ways while not changing them too much that it feels like a different game on each level. Changing the fast forward button to affect mice instead of the players is technically a completely different mechanic, but it's similar enough that you can transfer your existing understanding. So it still works. And it all makes sense within the game's thematic context.
I had a really hard time on last level. I was able to get past the first three mice, but then I kept dying to the fourth one. I thought maybe I was missing something, but turned out I just had to be a little more precise with my timing.
Overall, this game was funny, clever, and challenging. Great work!
For playing through the whole game and leaving such a thoughtful review, I'll present you with our concept art for one of our unused characters:
He's some kind of corn vampire...
We were also worried about changing the mechanics too quickly, and if we had more time, we would definitely have more levels in between mechanic changes. Also, the last level is probably too hard, but thanks for sticking with it!
Really liked your game too!
Thank you!! Can you also give us $300K
This game was very funny and very creative! I love the way the prompt was interpreted for this one.
A very cool idea that I had fun playing.
Had a lot of fun playing your game too!
Thanks :):)
Absolutely fantastic! Love the humour!
Thanks so much! Your game is so awesome!
Thank you so much!!
Great game! I loved how the mechanics changed every level plus the comments at the beginning of each level are hilarious! great submission!
Thank you OldCow!!
Very clever and super challenging!
Hahaha!! Thanks
This game exudes personality, its a great fun experience, the humor is on point.
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice little game with a good sense of humor. I like how quickly it changes so it always keeps you on your toes.
Thank you!! I am always on my toes :)
Very creative mechanics to use the functions to do the platforming and puzzles.
Thanks!!
LOL! What a brilliant idea, well done :D You are super creative, friend!
Thank you friend :)
Best puzzle ever, when I started to play I didn't get the irony of the first message, than I understood everything, so fun! The mechanics was very fun, tons of levels, very good art, very good music, everything perfect
Thank you!!
Very cool! Love the take on the theme, and the implementation is spot on! Graphics and sound round it out nicely, a very impressive entry!
Thanks!! Preposterous
This is so meta, I love it!
There's nothing wrong I can really point out about this game, other than, maybe, the first level with mouse was a bit uh... Too tight compared to anything else?
Other than that, neat idea, cute art, good music... And above all that, incredible humor! I enjoyed every second of this game (except that one level I mentioned of course lol)
Poor mushrooms, they were so cute as a couple :(Yeah the timing on some of the mice levels can be tough, glad u liked it tho :)
Thanks! Yeah that level could be tweaked, thanks for the feedback
Should we start a petition to bring the star-crossed mushrooms back together?
yes
