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!

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!

INCREDIBLE. Nothing else to say, the idea is so simple and yet so great. It would be a perfect mobile game with infinite possibility for the gameplay, since each UI element could be a new mechanic. Amazing, well done!
