Thank you for the feedback!
One of the things I was testing was the mushrooms. What did you think of them?

I thought they were interesting. It was kind of hard to tell what they did initially. From what I understand it is a time based stun. I think if you were to incorporate them more, maybe even making a maze like level with them, it could work. I'd recommend changing the message it says when you touch them to just "Stunned". I think it would inform that player of what that object is and that those are things they shouldn't touch.
