I feel like it could have been improved with easier movement controls and maybe more forgiving area to use when clicking on objects, if I didn't click perfectly in the center of the shoes for example it wouldn't register as me picking it up. So I guess bigger hitboxes is the word I'm looking for. Since there is a short time limit, the ease of being able to do what I want and pick up what I see as fast as possible is important.
