I've come to realize that I will not make the deadline unless I seriously crunch, so, enter game menu, witness the monstrosity - dies a little on the inside.
Everything is super basic, simple Boolean if else to determine if I'm in the menu, some conditions on the input to detect if I'm in the menu so I can handle it appropriately, and a silly png I made in gimp to represent the menu. This hardly counts as a blog entry, but join me in the exciting dash to delivery day, (2 more days).

You can do it! I'm in the same spot right now too.
