This would be great to improve the game flow instead of just waiting around for the spring shoes timer to run out. Plus you will have enough time to jump back with the spring shoes instead of wasting another present to get back or jumping off the level. Video: https://youtu.be/EqNOVSIKO7Y

By the way keep up the good work guys! :)

This is particularly annoying when using spring shoes to get to a backer island. You just have to wait for them to run out.

There should really be a separate action button for present actions versus interacting with the environment.

Or with tomatoes or slingshot equipped, either. There are probably other conditions not mentioned that prevent interaction, too.

Obviously, this should also be extended beyond NPCs to include searchable objects, mailboxes, coin meters and buttons as well.
