That "durability" penalty is awful, it's literally no time to even collect something and be able to return.
UPD: also the mechanical hands doesn't work even if shows blue and even if I'm at the start of the level and cherries are fresh.

It's hard even from the beginning, buggy and unbalanced. Like I said, mechanical arm doesn't work - sometimes it doesn't collect fresh cherries, sometimes it changes from 0/1 to 1/1, but cherry is not grabbed, and so I end up with 1-2 cherries tops each run whatever I do. Considering this, prices for the upgrades are ridiculously high. 1.25k for the upgrade of the mechanical hand while I can collect 1-3 cherries worth around 40 each every run? Nope, thanks.
