Thanks a lot for playing and taking the time to write such detailed feedback Axel!
The three decisions were deliberate, the fact that going slow is punished and the restriction on the amount of shots and not abusing the overclock (slowmotion). My idea was that the player will have to manage the 3 resources, as all of them count down (the theme) but I do agree, and everyone in the comment section as well, I pushed it way to far on the precision and "tightness" of the counters and hit boxes. I love "kaizo" games, like very difficult mario levels made by the community, so I am biased towards that and is something I will have to learn how to adjust on my games going forward.
