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!

This was super clever and original. Pretty sure I have never seen menu controls used in puzzles like this, great job!
Love this idea.
Well polished game!
Awesome concept! The sliders serving as both platforms and changing the physics is brilliant! The platforming / controls felt a little slippery at times and I died a bunch to the camera slider putting me through a wall. Great sounds and good fun! Nicely done!
One of the best uses of the theme I've seen. Nice visuals too! I got stuck pretty early on but still, bravo!
Would love to see this game developed further, I had a lot of fun. Including the famous Ah Haaa! moment
Got stuck on level 9 but awesome game!! Really think you'll be one of the winners. Aesthetics are great, audio is (funne bonk go bonk ha :) ) great, and execution is near flawless. 15/15!!
Outstanding game, well done.
I think the game is fun - pretty difficult puzzles but satisfying to beat. The theme didn't come through as clearly for me as for some others, but I enjoyed the mechanical integration regardless. Clever idea and well executed!
I adore this, amazing concept and smashes the theme perfectly. I would suggest some graphic updates, but I adore it. Great Job!
Excellent game!
One word... GENIUS!!
OK, this is just so clever that I feel ashamed of my merely ordinary brain and my game idea. lol
Fantastic!
Very clever game! Incredibly unique entry!
This is so well polished, the movement was so smooth, and just the idea of the pause menu being platforms, is awesome.
Really unique Idea. Loved to play it and felt challenging at the same time
Brilliant. Super clever and great execution
Just wonderful!
A really good "Think outside the box" game. Could use a less snappy movement but other than that a really solid entry for this jam.
What an amazing idea! Cool concept, super well done!!!!
COOL IDEA!!!The presentation and levels are so complete!Though it may be a bit difficult for me,the experience is great
