Having A Hard Time -v0.4.0- By Quadruple-q [upd] -

Within this zone, the hardness meter depletes twice as fast, and new enemy types—the "Equilaterals"—can one-shot you if you fail a parry timing window. Quadruple-Q recommends a minimum of 500 fractures before attempting this area. In a surprising move, Quadruple-Q has removed the "Easy Fracture" assist mode that was present in v0.3.8. In its place, the developer added a "Deep Breath" mechanic: you can now voluntarily fracture to reset a room’s puzzle state, but doing so permanently lowers your maximum hardness for the rest of the run.

If you’re new to the title, the name is not just clever wordplay. This game is designed to test your patience, reflexes, and problem-solving skills. Think of a hybrid between a precision platformer, a resource-management survival sim, and a psychological thriller, all wrapped in a package that looks like a lost Flash game from 2008 but feels punishingly modern.
