Loved it! Great spin on the idea and I loved the jokes explaining why mechanics changed between levels. Incredibly charming, fantastic job!

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.

Just wanted to say that we loved The Tutorial, so it means a lot to us that you liked our game!! Congrats on getting shown in the video by the way!!
We also wanted to let you know that we are working on an update right now to add new mechanics and levels to this game!
Feel free to follow me on itch if you want to see this, and more from us!
Also, I'm going to follow you because I really hope you add more to The Tutorial, and I'm excited to see what else you make!

Wow thanks! Yeah some puzzles require you to move your cursor really fast, hotkeys could technically fix that.
We're so glad that you played through the whole thing!!
If you want to see more...
We're working on an update right now to add keyboard bindings (to make tight timings easier), new mechanics, new levels, and maybe, just maybe, a new radish or two 👀
Follow me on itch to see this, and more from us in the future :)

We really like seeing the moment when people realize what the controls do on the first few levels! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you!!
Can you tell that some of those were written halfway through an all-nighter hahaha??
Also glad you liked our level designs because we reworked some of them A LOT

Want to see more levels and more dev notes??
Follow my itch to see our new update as soon as it comes out :)

Glad they look like real bugs :)
The reset function is a mistake that could be made pretty easily by forgetting to reset the players x position!

More mechanics and more jokes are coming soon in our new update!
Follow me on itch so that you don't miss it!

Thanks! Yeah the music on loop can definitely get repetitive, we couldn't make enough music tracks in time. Glad you had fun though!

Thanks! Yeah I almost forgot about that since I've been playing the browser version. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the bug report hahaha
We'll be fixing this, and adding some really cool stuff --new mechanics, new levels, maybe even new radishes???-- in the update we are working on right now!
Follow me on itch if you don't want to miss it :)

I’m speechless…
This means so much to me and the team (and Radish Boy)! ❤️
We love that you love our game and we’re hoping to work on it more!
Also, I wanted to share this Chad Pot concept art with you because you left such a kind comment
Can you imagine what it would be like if the pot looked like this?? We changed it because one of our devs said it made him uncomfortable hahaha

Thanks so much! We redesigned our tutorial levels more than any other levels to make the learning process as smooth as possible!

Some say the ghost of level 3 still wanders the files, preying on unsuspecting devs…

Thank you so much!! We were definitely looking to have nice puzzles and a cool art style, but the funny writing was probably just because our dev wrote most of them halfway through an all nighter and the personality is all thanks to Radish Boy’s charm :)
Also, talking about 48 hours, I still have no idea how you made two great games in one during that time frame! Amazing job to you, too!
Here’s some concept art for you btw :)
It’s goofy Radish Boy!

Hahaha we were hoping people would have fun discovering the mechanics, so glad you did!!
Interestingly, while our graphics did come out looking like those from some early web games, we weren’t directly inspired by them. We went for the sloppy coloring as a nod to the rushed development (even though it probably took longer to achieve that effect hahaha)

I could definitely see an early browser game in this. We were trying to go for a pictochat-ish style, but once we added color it became more paper mario-esque

Thank you, your game was also super fun! One of the other devs and I played it together over a discord call :)

So glad you liked our game and finished it!!
As far as the theme, I think that switching the buttons to control enemies instead of the player was quite a role reversal!

My own interpretation is that switching between the UI and the player doesn't seem to make too much of a difference since you're still controlling the player (indirectly in this case), but it still fits the theme. I totally get your critique, though
