Thanks Victor Z. The friction was an unforseen build bug. All my fault for lack of experience. I had a time scale to 0 at first, but I messed up and broke something else. And since there were no enemies,I figured it wasn't a big deal. Since the worse case scenario of no timescale is falling into spikes and having to continue at the last save checkpoint. Thanks for your feedback and for playing the game. I hope it was still fun!
