Thanks for the kind words! Always happy when people recognize even the smallest of details like the responsive FOV or the room effects 😁
As you have indeed noticed, we are aware of large objects potentially blocking the player's field of view. I'll be on a small vacation next week, but we should still be able to push an update by the next week that addresses some problems that players have noticed with the pickup system. :)
We do recognize that some of the Time Trials are a little too challenging, so the next update should contain some adjustments to make a select few of them slightly more lenient. (Especially the one in the last level of 1-3, I was apparently feeling like a really evil bastard when making that stage XD)
Thanks again for playing the game, and I hope you stick around for Chapter 2 and beyond!
