Thank you for your feedback :)
Health pick-ups are implemented though! Even some time bonus can be dropped by enemies. The shielded enemies even have a 100% chance to drop either a health or time for you. Maybe you were just unlucky
Hm… I played quite a bit, and only ever saw two drops which were from knights and which were time extensions.
That appears to be bad luck then, since there is only a 10% chance for the time drops to appear and 90% health.
