Wonderful feedback for the minigames! There has been a few bugs logged around the controls of them which we plan to do a full pass to make sure the Minigame focused update fixes all of those <3
As for the items being picked up and auto consumed, Ill make a note of that!
As for the rendering issue with items, sadly that is by design. In the future we want to have furniture items, and for that we need actors in front. It isn't viable to pick or choose the layering on those.
