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.
Very create, fun and looks great!
Really great and high-quality game! 10/10
This game really reminds me of games like "Me and the key" and "40xEscape". Really well made.
Nice and chill. in the top games. great work
I love the concept, one of the best game I played in the jam! Well done!
I like puzzles. Excellent work there!
It was so fun to explore the ways you can use the menu to complete puzzle very enjoyable game love the simple art style as well overall fun and creative
You're the first one in this competition to creatively elevate the menu concept. It's truly innovative!
great atmosphere with creative puzzles!
I think it's a bug, but I can be infinitely tiny creature buy adjusting camera setting on option menu
it was enjoyable overall! nicely done :)
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
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.
