I'm gonna be honest, I don't find the timer that punishing.
My friend group has some experience with rogue likes, so that may have helped, but we've been winning quite a few runs and the timer isn't feeling that bad. We're not in the mindset that we have to find every single piece of ore, and we're still getting plenty of upgrades.
Keeping it moving and staying fast paced through the level has led us to not even come close to maxing out the timer every time we finish, and this has been pretty consistent over this one evening of play. I sympathize with anyone who is frustrated, but as long as you keep moving forward through the level, it has not been bad for us.
I've been loving the game so far, even in an early access state.
