It sounds like a lot of people are having that issue. I believe the only way to get a stalemate would be if both players decide to push against eachother and not move otherwise. If someone is doing that to you you could potentially lure them into the spikes by swinging them around using the gravity between you instead of directly pushing them into the walls. Of course a lot of people might not think of that! Thanks for the feedback anyway and thanks so much for playing my game! :)
