Effects can be slow on mobile, but a few sprites with tint effect shouldn't affect the performance much on PC. You can easily test this.

Well, maybe the player collides with the box many times. This may happen if the player animation has different collision polygons in each frame. Hard to tell without seeing your capx.

You can try one of these behaviors:

It's odd that the collision checks count is that high. Are you sure it's 1000 per tick, not per second? Could you share your project?

In the last line you have "Add (variable+1) to variable", you need to change it to "Add 1 to variable"

It depends on the game, but I would probably choose B.

Also consider re-coloring sprites using Tint or Set Color effect. This way you may be able to set any color using just one frame.

You can use Timer behavior, for example set keyDisabled variable to 1 when key pressed. Start a timer, on timer reset keyDisabled to 0.

Or here is an easier version:
variable lastPress=0 Keyboard On Space key pressed System compare variable lastPress<(time-0.5) .....Spawn bullet .....Set lastPress to time

See examples in this post:

Instead of pasting sprites onto the canvas, you can mask them with a blend mode. See Blend Modes example in C3.

— % is the Modulo operator (remainder after division)
For example, 13%5=3

When you see <varies> in instance variable, this means that you have several instances of this object on the layout, and several different values in this instance variable.

For example, you have Enemy sprite with HP instance variable, one enemy has HP=100, another HP=80 and another HP=50. When you select Enemy object, the editor will show HP=<varies> because all instances have different values.

1. If you increase the transparent area of the sprite, you need to also increase the collision polygon.

2. You can use a big invisible sprite with Drag&Drop behavior, and pin the actual visible sprite to it.
