Pause Menu

The pause menu is a menu that appears when the ESC key is pressed (unless changed) from PC ports or tapping the pause symbol on mobile devices, allowing the player to pause the game until they either continue or quit it.

Baldi's Basics Plus
The pause menu is displayed by the You Can Think Pad layout. It also shows the seed the player is using for easy bug reporting.

The pause menu appears with black text in the Comic Sans MS font, and two stationary Baldi head sprites: The Comic Sans MS option has an animated Baldi face nodding his head while smiling, and the Comic Sans MS option has an animation of him shaking his head while frowning.

The pause menu just shows white non-pixelated text with a punctuation error and a misspelled word ("PASUED" instead of "PAUSED" and "IT"S" instead of "IT'S").

Other than pausing the game, the menu lacks other options and will be un-paused when pressing ESC again.

Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo
The pause menu only shows black text, lacking the "Comic Sans MS" button. The screen becomes slightly darker when paused.

It is the same as in Baldi's Basics Plus prior to V0.3.3, but without the seed display, as there are no randomly-generated maps.

Trivia

 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * Prior to V0.3.3, the "Comic Sans MS" button was located at the middle of the screen.


 * Baldi's Basics Classic
 * Before V1.3, there was no animation sprite of Baldi shaking/nodding his head, and instead, it was just plain text. In this version, the player could press ESC again to un-pause the game or pressing Q to exit back to the main menu.
 * In versions 1.3 to 1.3.2, Baldi's heads were constantly animated and the player could only press Y to quit or N to resume the game. Since V1.4, Baldi's heads can be clicked/touched and will only be animated when the mouse cursor is hovered on any of them on PC or holding on them with a finger and sliding it across the screen on mobile versions.

 * Before V1.2, the pause menu was the same as in Full Game Early Demo with the difference being that there is a button that leads to options.

Glitches

 * Since Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, if the player pauses the game before Baldi starts chasing them and then switches to another program, the game will continue to play the school music until it ends.
 * In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, when the player displays the pause menu before the elevator opens, the gameplay can still go on and the player can still move and use the controls when the game is paused.
