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!

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!

Super neat! Gotta love that simple art style. Do you plan on adding more to the game? I'd love to follow what you do with this.

Your concept is so cool

Very creative to require changing different setting to reach the goal. I'm not sure how to get passed the part where my player seems to large to get through the gap

Submitted

Nice game. Accurate for the theme!

Awesome game! I can't seem to get past level 6 with the black screen, but things look great! Keep it up :)

It is a fantastic game, I was so surprised when I saw what the game is about.

It is a fascinating and very original game. Congratulations. Maybe the music and some interactions need to be improved, like when the character got too small and I didn't understand why. But good game.
