Okay, I found out what the spikes do, they give you pickups for health. For some reason it wasn't working before. No idea why, ironically, this time I had wings, so I thought it
definitely wouldn't do anything.
Also found The Habit, which charges your items as you take damage.
I think spider webs might slow you down.
Got a pill. The effect? "Puberty". Hopefull it makes you grow every level. I never found out.
"Curse of Darkness"... What do Curses do?
