I think the spikes behave a bit differently than original, but I haven't compared. You can't run through them because they will activate and kill you, but you can slow walk safely. But in this implementation I slowed walked right on top of them (they activated but didn't kill me - that's correct) and then I started to run and I was killed instantly.

You are correct, they are more sensitive here. They also kill you even if a guard is already impaled on them, which they did not in the original.

You have to be well clear of the spikes to run, I recall quite the number of starting again back in the day due to this, as I was impatient.
