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

i don't like this game, because you are put all of us to shame. Man how did you make such a good puzzle game is such a small time frame. I love it.
This is amazing! I can't believe this was made in 48 hours, well done :)
very creative and fun! It's exciting to discover that you can do so many different things with a few options slides :)
This is great! The options menu adds a lot of complexity that I think the game would be lacking if you only had the pause bar text in the middle of the screen. Great concept, even better execution!
Wonderful mechanics.
This is deifintely one of the more creative mechanics I've seen! I'll be honest it took me a second to figure out to use the option menu. Haha! Awesome work!!!
Wow I really liked it
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!
