Wow. I guess if you like this game you'll also like Baba Is You, maybe even more.

Is this the same as this?

No I made this version with more levels and mechanics after the game jam version

But it's somewhere the same, or?

The first levels?

It starts out similar to teach the same mechanics to people who didnt play the old version but most of the levels are new or revised

Drop-down doesn't work & how do u even turn drop down on

This is a really interesting concept and I love it. I never would of thought that pausing could be made into the core mechanic of a game and you did it perfectly!

It's an interesting concept, but for the first level, I couldn't get the character to jump very high.

Brilliant mechanics! Mind blown!

my brain hurts help

this is genius. bravo.

LMFAO THE CELLING HIT SOUND

This is so unique I love it!

Pause To Play Deluxe Gameplay

the ultimate indie game achievement. getting your game onto coolmathgames.com

I honestly think this is the best puzzle platformer I've ever played, and I've played countless other puzzle platformers. I love this game.

You can use it to pass through walls. After enabling it, you go inside of it and move the screen around with either the camera slider of a focus block.

This game has a very different game mechanic. It's simple but sometimes I found it challenging. Also I like the level designs and the visual aspect.

On the Light Box Heavy Box level I can't push red button with box 😒

Congratulations for winning GMTK 23!

Thank you! For the box level you have to turn gravity up once the box is on the button

Ah! It's worked! Thank you!
