Nice game! Great job for 3 days.

Very clever mechanics for a platformer. I like this interpretation a lot. Well done.

The sounds are fun too, but I wish it had some music. Seemed to me the second part of the game got cut right when a new mechanic is introduced, plus I found the game to be super short, so maybe you should work on a post-jam update to implement those mechanics 🙂

Not a bad entry for a 3-day jam, good job!

Second game I've encountered using this mechanic but that's not to say it has lost its charm. Short but that's a welcome fact considering how many games are there. The jump SFX is very fitting. Overall a good experience, good work.

Nice take on the theme! Although this was short, I enjoyed it. The game would benefit from some music, but the SFX fit in nicely.

Good work!

Platform manipulation via using pause menu as a time stopper  is a clever touch. I like the visuals also. Well done mate!
