Very nice game! The mechanics were fun to experiment with. And the dev log pop-ups were hilarious. Awesome job!

How does your game fit the theme?
Tired of playing games? Try pausing one! This is a puzzle platformer where glitchy menu buttons are the only method of control, and the player is asked to become a pauser.

Thanks! Yeah the music on loop can definitely get repetitive, we couldn't make enough music tracks in time. Glad you had fun though!

Thanks! Yeah I almost forgot about that since I've been playing the browser version. Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the bug report hahaha
We'll be fixing this, and adding some really cool stuff --new mechanics, new levels, maybe even new radishes???-- in the update we are working on right now!
Follow me on itch if you don't want to miss it :)

I’m speechless…
This means so much to me and the team (and Radish Boy)! ❤️
We love that you love our game and we’re hoping to work on it more!
Also, I wanted to share this Chad Pot concept art with you because you left such a kind comment
Can you imagine what it would be like if the pot looked like this?? We changed it because one of our devs said it made him uncomfortable hahaha

Thanks so much! We redesigned our tutorial levels more than any other levels to make the learning process as smooth as possible!

Thank you so much!! We were definitely looking to have nice puzzles and a cool art style, but the funny writing was probably just because our dev wrote most of them halfway through an all nighter and the personality is all thanks to Radish Boy’s charm :)
Also, talking about 48 hours, I still have no idea how you made two great games in one during that time frame! Amazing job to you, too!
Here’s some concept art for you btw :)
It’s goofy Radish Boy!

Hahaha we were hoping people would have fun discovering the mechanics, so glad you did!!
Interestingly, while our graphics did come out looking like those from some early web games, we weren’t directly inspired by them. We went for the sloppy coloring as a nod to the rushed development (even though it probably took longer to achieve that effect hahaha)

I could definitely see an early browser game in this. We were trying to go for a pictochat-ish style, but once we added color it became more paper mario-esque

Thank you, your game was also super fun! One of the other devs and I played it together over a discord call :)

So glad you liked our game and finished it!!
As far as the theme, I think that switching the buttons to control enemies instead of the player was quite a role reversal!

My own interpretation is that switching between the UI and the player doesn't seem to make too much of a difference since you're still controlling the player (indirectly in this case), but it still fits the theme. I totally get your critique, though

Thank you so much!!! We wanted each level to bring you something new and fresh :)
I’m happy with the amount of content we ended up with, but we had a lot more planned, mostly for additional characters and enemies (including all of the ones on the title screen)!
Hopefully, if we do an official release, we can add them all in!
Here’s one of them for you! Any ideas about what he should do??

Woo hooo!!! We specifically designed our music to sound cool both at normal speed and at 2x :)
We also have menu music that a lot of people don’t notice :)

"The fast forward got lonely, so we added a fast backward!" Time traveling time.
"We added a settings button!" No jumping on sliders here.
" We had negative reviews about the mice, so we just made them push you." No clip into the wall boiiiiiiiiiiiii
Some of these suggestions might become a reality!! (Especially the reverse button-- that is definitely coming, although it might be a little glitchy hahaha!!)
We're working on an update right now to add new mechanics and new levels!!
Follow my itch to see this when it comes out, and more from this team!

other suggestions:
moving mushrooms that aren't affected by pause
more levels using "pause + reset" exploit
