A crusher that kills only when you are really squeezed

Crushing blocks are fair when a player can see the danger. They turn cruel when a graze kills, when a single frame of overlap counts, or when jumping up into the gap gives a different result than standing in it. Here is the test that checks the squeeze and its duration.

Why this works

Being crushed means being stuck between two things with nowhere to go. Asking for all three signs together, too little room, pressure from both sides and a short moment of it, avoids deaths from a graze and from a single frame of overlap.

When not to use it

Wrong when a crusher is meant as a fast, certain killer, like in a horror chase; the grace time softens the threat. In that case make the warning loud and clear, and kill on contact.
