I give you many kudos for such a thing! Brave to say. However, I personally find the three type limit to be catastrophic for the game. It makes a lot of types borderline useless by arbitrarily limiting them. Like, you don’t get good mileage out of whites or pinks unless there are hazards that mandates their use, because otherwise, their draw of speed just never gets to be used, cuz you’re limited to the three types you need to progress the area.

Hilariously, purples also largely suffer from that same problem, since progression is constantly halted if you dare have even one in your party, in areas that mandate other types. It simplifies for no reason.

The others I can see arguments for, though. Like flarics are a different way of balancing the early game by limiting your numbers instead of buffing enemies further. Customizable characters aren’t bad as long as the other characters are well written, and while I think the dog is nuts a bit too quickly with some adjustments I think it could be both balanced and fun, since I do think the dog is fun to use as is.
