How do you unpause the game while in a level? I press escape but it takes me back to the menu.

Hey!
I think I know what was happening with the "bug" I was experiencing. When I was using WASD, I could use B for selecting. But, when I was trying to play after that session, I used the arrow keys, where B isn't the button to select the character.
It does make sense when you are playing with another person locally, and it is mentioned in the controls, but when playing alone, maybe the B, G, Y, and H keys should be compatible with the arrow keys too.
Hey! I found your game through Reddit, and the game is pretty cool!
The graphics are nice and polished, I like the retro style you went with!
The controls needed getting used to as I instinctively wanted my character to move through WASD, but once I got the hang of it was satisfying and easy to make combos with. The feedback with each hit was spot on.
As someone who doesn't bother with learning combos in fighting games, the combat made me feel like a pro. I also suggest having some text to accompany what the character is doing in the How To Play section and make it clear to the player that they aren't the one controlling the character on screen. (I was that player)
Each character was pretty fun to play, especially with their power moves. But I felt like there were some powers that were overpowered and irritating to deal with. (I'm looking at Christie's and Bear's chain powers) It's probably just because I'm not that good at anticipating their moves.
As for the character designs, Deadpan and Bear didn't feel like a part of the same universe as Orwell and Christe, but I still liked their designs.
Also, having Bear be bigger than the rest might be a reason why I felt it was more powerful than other characters. That could be why we see similarly sized characters in fighting games, but I don't think sizing Bear down will help its overall design of being big and scary as their proportions will become wacky. (and it won't help their self-esteem either)
Overall, it's a solid demo, and I'm looking forward to the new content you put out!
P.S. I'm currently experiencing a bug where I can't select anyone in the selection screen and as there isn't a way to go back to the menu, I tried reloading the page with no luck. It's weird because I didn't have this problem when first playing the web-version of the game. When I downloaded the game, it seemed to have the same issue.
