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

The Game Is Really Good But Also Really Hard... Got Stuck On Level Two For A Nice 5 Min! Everything Else Works Amazing!

Submitted

Fantastic puzzle mechanic

Submitted

Very unique idea that was well executed. I felt the puzzles could have used some hints as they started out a bit too difficult. Maybe adding a hint as to what the player should do would make it a bit easier to get a grasp of the game.

Submitted

I can't believe you fitted so much content into 48 hours

Submitted

I absolutely adore this games concept and there's so much content too! I stopped at level 5 but I'll def be back for the rest

Submitted

Loved the art style

Submitted

Had lots of fun with these. Unique concept

Submitted

Good presentation and interesting puzzles! INS3CTOR approved. Good job!

Submitted

Wow! What a creative and clever game!

I love the idea of using the pause controls for more than one function!

It reminded me of the game "That Level Again"!

Some levels are a little too difficult, but the progression and level design are amazing!

Congratulations on the entry!

Awesome game! All it really needs is more levels!

Submitted

amaizing game, great concept, great execution, great presentation, sadly the game soflock after a level transition preventing me from prgressing :(

Developer

Oh Im sorry about that, it should have saved your progress if you reload the browser

Submitted

i did reload after the softlock, but it didn't save my progress sadly

Developer

Dang, well i guess it still has its bugs :/

Submitted

Really cool idea, love using the UI as part of the environment! Unfortunately I couldn't manage to get pass level four and accidentaly bought a tip for the wrong level :p

Submitted

Very cool mechanics! 

Submitted

WOW! A crazy cool utilization of the theme, and a ton of neat mechanics. When I found out the zoom bar can resize your character I was blown away. And the hint system is an added bonus! I got stuck on level 8, so I can't even imagine how much more there is!

Submitted

Extremely fluid gameplay and clever puzzles! I couldn't get past the horizontal stretch in level 10 though, still not sure how....

Developer

Type to push

Submitted

Rally great idea. I see this making it into a full game. Great job!

Submitted

Submitted
