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
Did your team create the vast majority of the music during the 48 hours?
Yes
We created the vast majority of the music during the game jam

Very fun and creative idea! I wish the movement was far less slippery, however, I love the depths that you took this mechanic, very well done!
Excellent game! Especially the artstyle, sound effects and the many different mechanics are impressive. But I keep pressing space to jump lol maybe change that
Alright now this, this is incredible stuff. I love it!! Creative, fluid, clever.
Very cool game. I was really surprised when I hit the options button. I wish I had so much creativity! Good Job!!
I spent way too long on this, I loved how much lateral thinking you need to complete puzzles. You seemed to have covered a lot of the pitfalls of a design like this. Very nice.
This was an excellent idea and very well executed! The only thing that tripped me up was not being able to jump with space bar, and accidentally unpausing a couple of times. Great job y'all!
Amazing idea! this is a really enjoyable game, smooth clean intuitive.
Everything works and its intuitive.
The art style is simple but i think it works.
good job!
Excellent idea!! Nicely executed, bravo
This idea is soooo cool ! Must say I was surprised ( it's a good thing ) but it is so freaking cool !! The sliders mecanic is the best, that's a winning game right here ! ♥
Love this game. Jumping over setting buttons and all advances features... just great.
The idea of this game is very neat. Combined with different UIs, the design of levels is also full of possibilities. I hope you can add more levels with more interesting UIs in the future!
Such a cool game! I love the idea of a playing by pause menu:)
Already got stuck on the second level for 10 minutes but I've managed to get to the exit :D |
Awesom game:)
That's a great idea! One of the best
I looooove this idea. I'm sad to say I had to check the comments to find out the pause menu is interactable XD. No fault of the game, I think this prompt is too smart for me is all lol. Awesome job!
Very fun and unique idea with great presentation.
This game's great! I like how it's not just the pause menu, but it also uses the settings menu. Fun game :^)
Very clever game, good job
Really well done. Took me a while to figure the 4th level out :D
