Hello Sweetjeeb,
I hope you're doing well. First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your purchase and your support for the game. I truly value your feedback and the opportunity to address your concerns.
I'm sorry to hear that you encountered difficulties while attempting to unzip the game. It's puzzling that a password prompt appeared during the extraction process, as I didn't intentionally implement any such restriction. I've also had another user report a similar issue, which makes it even more perplexing.
Regarding the absence of camera control and a pause menu, you're absolutely correct. This game was originally designed for mobile platforms and is currently undergoing a conversion to be compatible with PC. Unfortunately, the initial design lacked the necessary inputs and buttons to support camera rotation or a pause menu. I'd like to assure you that both of these features, along with audio options, save data modifications, and more, are on the agenda for the upcoming update. I haven't made concrete plans for a rotatable camera yet, but I've designed all the levels (except level 4) in a way that shouldn't necessitate camera rotation at this point.
I'm genuinely surprised to hear about the virus warning you received. I want to emphasize that I have no intentions of creating anything malicious on the side and bundling it with the game. I'm committed to delivering a positive and enjoyable gaming experience.
The Banjo Kazooie-inspired elements, particularly the collectibles affecting the world maps and the forthcoming addition of characters for cosmetics and missions, are integral to the game's vision. I'm working diligently to bring these elements to life.
As a sole developer, I invest countless hours each day into enhancing the game, and some improvements can be achieved relatively quickly, while others require more time and care. At this very moment, I'm actively working on the pause menu. If you're interested in staying up-to-date with the development process, I encourage you to join our Discord community. I regularly share detailed progress updates there, often multiple times a day. Just today, I made updates to the time attack UI, implemented a counting timer for the "Rolling Up" stage, and, as mentioned earlier, I'm currently focused on the Pause Menu.
Once again, I want to express my deep appreciation for your support and understanding. Rest assured that the game is entirely completable without the need for camera adjustments, as it was initially tailored for mobile devices. However, as we transition to PC, we are diligently working on optimizing and adapting all aspects of the game.

Thank you once more for your support, and please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or feedback. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of the game.
Warm regards,
