Hey, thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
I agree, that is certainly an issue. I only realized in the last day before the deadline that I needed to have a pause menu, and when I tried to integrate a "Back to Menu" feature, it ended up causing more issues than I had time to fix lol. So instead, I just added a quit feature. If I ever come back to this after judging, that's something I'll probably do (there was a decent amount of stuff that went unused, so I might just come back).
We actually intended to have an all-minigames mode, but didn't have enough time to implement it properly. I actually wanted not only that but a "Hard Mode" version of it as well that was all of them only their hardest difficulty. Many of those assets exist still in the game but go unused. Those are definitely things that would be top priority if we ever were to come back.
Thanks again for playing!
