Thanks so much for this feedback! Firstly, I'm glad you let me know it was too much bloom. It was my first time getting post processing to work, I guess I was just having a bloom celebration.
Secondly, I definitely should have put the space bar as the key to pause time, the only reason that didn't happen is because in the beginning I overscoped and thought I would put in doors you need to unlock. That would have used the space bar.
Thirdly, I'm so glad you liked the first spike pillar level, I was really trying to breathe new life into the mechanic with that one, so I'm glad you liked it.
Anyways, thanks for playing!
