Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, I should really add a pause menu, dunno why I didnt think about that...
As for the other two things yeah, I'll try to find a way to improve those systems, maybe adding some i-frames to the beginning of the jump. I'll have to think about it :D
And these blue essences you collect double as money, you can see that in the menu after runs (thinking about it, I might want to also put it into the pause menu)
