Because there is very little friction the controls feel like always playing an ice level. Which is fine, but it becomes an issue with the spike rooms where you need more control over your motion so you don't run into them. The spike rooms also become even more difficult the more speed potions you have, which are supposed to be buffs. Something to consider. I like the game though it's the best greenfoot game I've played.

It's made even harder because, the weapon you are holding is considered part of your body, this makes you will take damage if your weapon touches the spikes.
