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

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

Submitted

Nice game. Accurate for the theme!

Submitted

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.

The game has well structured basic mechanics and very polished level design. To cooperate with UIs while jumping platforms can be really exciting and challenging (since I am stuck at level 10 haha).  The quality of the game, in my perspective, is at publishing level. Looking forward to the future development of this game!
