Is there any way to set the puzzle speed even lower than 50%?

*sigh* Okay, look, I have the reflexes of a slug. My hand and eye have never coordinated in their lives and they aren't about to start now. I know this, and I normally avoid any games with an action or platforming component if I possibly can because it will only end in tears. But... I got CrossCode as part of the Ukraine bundle, the story seemed interesting, the art was pretty, and crucially, I read that it had accessibility options and customizable difficulty. So I thought, I already own it, it won't hurt to try. 

And, I really enjoyed it in the early stages. I've played about 35 hours, and I struggled sometimes, but I managed to stay afloat. Until now. I'm hitting my skill ceiling in the second dungeon. Trying to aim and time my jumps correctly on slippery ice while hurrying to do it before the ice melts is kicking my ass and I'm worried that this is where I have to quit, give up, and watch the rest of the game on a youtube let's play while sulking. 

It's... disheartening, that I've already got the game on the easiest possible setting, and I'm STILL not able to cut the mustard. And I'm in deep enough now that I want to see how this ENDS, dang it.

Is there any setting or variable or cheat or mod or anything I can use to bring the puzzle speed down even further? Honestly, even that might turn out not to help. But if I can slow down and be able to focus soley on making my fingers hit the buttons accurately without having to also worry about hitting them quickly, maybe I could finally do this. 

Please, no cries of "git gud." I know, guys. I KNOW. But I am not going to git any guder. This is as gud as it gits.

I know you can opt out of the ice physics, at least.  One of the traders in Bergen sells boots which let you walk normally on ice, which makes the jumping in the icy puzzles a lot easier.  (They don't work in the optional monk trials, though).
