Sorry to hear it - yeah, you have to keep it out of the red phase for about two minutes, so keeping it in the yellow is fine too. If you go into the red, it just pauses the timer until you get back into the green again.
Thanks for the feedback though, I might upload a patch later that makes it a bit easier. Let me know how you get on.
Edit: I've uploaded a patch that should make it easier and explain how it works a bit better. It should be a lot easier to get out of the red now too.
I think I prefer the old speed. Is it possible to make it an optional change?
I've been playing a few days in game each IRL night and haven't had any trouble finishing the machine section but it has been very intense. Tonight I wasn't even close to reaching red despite many errors.
It's not a big deal though if the old speed was stopping other people from playing the game.
So I did eventually figure out a way to get back into the green (spamming z until it got there by itself lmao) and I did get way better at it over time, but there is still a weird discrepancy of me being way worse at the machine than the NPCs. I think having accessibility options/being able to edit the difficulty or whatever would be cool, but thank you for the quick reply! I hope my comment didn't come off as too negative haha. I'm going to leave an actual review when I finish the game.
Ah, interesting... It's a difficult thing to balance for sure. Thanks for the feedback. I've uploaded a new patch that should be a bit of a better middle ground.
I think I'll try to avoid difficulty options if I can, as the machine isn't really the main focus of the game anyway... I'd prefer to try and find a good difficulty balance, but it's always an option I guess. Hopefully the alarm making the bar decrease slower should help players who were struggling before.

it's very unfortunate that i feel like i can't get through this part, because i paid for this and the game looks very cool.

Thanks for the comment.
