Thanks you for your feedback!!
The soundtrack was too short the one my friend made, so didnt want to increase its volume as it will be annoying. The idea of the block was from blackthornprods and jonas (ludum dare). Not walking up hill is indeed intentional.
I didnt balance the block because I though it was annoying to use already, atleast I though that. Also not sure how to balance it? possibily the longer you hold it the more unstable it becomes?
