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!
Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?
No
We used pre-existing art

Yes

The presentation is great. I got stuck on the outside the box level, but this game is definitely amongst the most polished on here.
really cool idea, feels like it could be made/expanded into a full game
Amazing job! Awesome to see a similar idea taken in a different direction!!
Clever idea! Loved jumping around the menu as the little dude.
That's a jam winner
I love the way these mechanics are implemented! I am not the smartest puzzler but this is amazing.
Yo looks like we had the same idea lol. Only two results when you search up "pause", lowkey incredibly intimidating cuz this game is just so damn creative and well presented. Well done!
Oh thats so funny! I'm gonna go play yours
I like the clean art, and the gameplay was fluent too! Great game!
This game is so much fun! The wave of confidence I get when I figure a level is unmatched!
Guys, the idea is amazing!!! But it's too difficult for me, I am sorry, I couldn't figure out the 4th or 5th level... Next time be considerate of us silly folks out there)))
Thank you! You can use the hints in the main menu, hopefully that will help!
This is so cool! I love how you expanded the core mechanics in so many ways!
Really reminds me of the Mario design philosophy of take one mechanic and expand. Great Job
Great game! I loved the way you use the camera to scale the screen, to make UI elements bigger! 9/10
That's a really creative idea! Nice game.
:D
Really liked the creativity with the different mechanics! The visuals are superb in their simplicity
cool idea!!
Amazing idea! Very impressive how you were able to explore that many different ideas with this "simple" concept. Congrats!
Great idea! Awesome art as well. Congrats!
Awsome! Funny and I like the DA. And 15 levels is a lot!
The concept is amazing, and it keeps expanding really creative ways. I think it'd be nice if the character was less slidy and with tighter controls.
