player 03, you obviously never played Skyroads, the game that inspired me to do this game... It was all about trial and error and it was fun... I tried to mantain that bit of frustration you got while playing that game, and reading your comments I think I succeed...
Anyway, you seem to know what you want; why don't you use the level editor to build levels you like? maybe someone else thinks like you and will play and like your contribution...
collision was tested enough, making it more correct would have dramatically increased the difficulty. some ease was left on purpose. and energy actually recharge :P
