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!

Yes

Very cool game! 😄
At first I thought it was just going to be a simple “you add two more platforms”, but then I realized the sliders exist, and it added a whole new dimension of mind-bending possibilities!
I also like how each level adds a bit of complexity, and so you don’t get overwhelmed at the very start!
Great job! 😊
That is such a neat idea!
I just had a bug in the second level - I had the time slowed down so to try and jump on that and I chnaged the FOV slider so its inbounds but I failed the jump and everytime I changed FOV my character got only smaller so in the end the particle effects from walking were twice as big
Incredible level design. Full of eureka moments that make you feel like a cheater (the best kind). Very fun, amazing job!
Hi . We really liked Pause to play. Here's a video we made about it and other games in the jam. Your game is so interesting and made us think a lot when playing it. Well done. If you'd like to watch it and comment.
Great idea! Everything was on point! Smooth and entertaining! Good job! :)
its really good
It’s such a cool and unique idea. It’s something that’s simple mechanically, but an interesting one and a ton of fun.
Makes me wonder why I didn’t think outside the box as much as this game did.
It looks great. I donť know if the shrinking of character model is intentional or not but it creates another level of challenge.
THIS IS SO GOOD BRO!
WHAT AN AMAZING GAME!! The Idea and Execution is INSANE. How did you do this in 2 Days!?!?
i love the idea! Impressive work for the game jam! Hope you’ll continue to develop this game ! GG
Thank you! I'm currently working on the full version with new levels and mechanics now! Nice pfp HK is my fav game
Jumping with the UP button always throws me off but this game was fun and inventive. I won't spoil stuff here but well worth the playthrough. Oh and i loved the detail of the character bumping their head
Creative game and completely polished!
It's incredible to think that this was made in 48 hours! 15 whole levels, all with mind blowing puzzles, a very creative take on the theme, very pretty simple art, relaxing music and very smooth and polished gameplay! Loved it!
To me it's a 5/5 in all three categories :)
Best game in the jam.
Totally my kind of game! Great game design ideas. Bravo
A creative spin on the theme. A really enjoyable experience.
Amazing concept - Looks great! Minor bug if interacting with menu after winning a level.
Wow, this game is amazing! Such a unique and interesting idea. It would be a waste not to release it as a paid full game after the jam. Its very polished already. Very good job!
Thank you! Im working on the full version as we speak
Very fun and creative game, and with so much content! I love the art style and the music fits perfectly with the game. Amazing job!
