The Super Mario 64 source code lists names for Mario's footstep sounds. The list starts off normal but becomes poetic with names like "Footsteps in the Fallen Leaves" and "More Than Anyone Else in the World". It turns out the names are actually taken from a 1994 dating simulator.

anyway my point in saying this is that if you're making a game and you're finding that it's confusing and overwhelming to work on, ***it's probably because you literally intentionally designed it to be confusing to think about*** and maybe you could get something out of considering not doing that
i think game design ("gameplay") is on some level foundationally built upon the idea that it is enjoyable to construct a thing that is too confusing to clearly perceive.

Dodgeslop pipeline :
Enemies can't effectively move around and challenge the player pre-hit -> hitstun mechanics end up being too OP and get nerfed to nothing -> now that hitstun doesn't work, move recovery frames become a nuisance -> add dodges that cancel recovery/startup as a band aid
