I'm sorry that the new minigame made it worse for you, I tried to remove button-mashing to make escaping more pleasant overall.
I have a few tips that might help with the new minigame:
- Slowly hitting the keys and increasing the multiplier is better than trying to press buttons in a hurry.
- Upgrading Strength, apart from increasing your escape force, also decreases the minigame decay, both the natural decay and the decay from missing a key.
- The easy and cheat escape settings are particularly OP because I didn't balance them yet, so it's possible to quickly avoid corruption if you think it takes too long to escape by hitting combos in the new system.
