-First, the game doesn't save the progress whether beating both exits (pressing the blue switch or getting the goal tape, even individually) or dying. Considering that dying will lock the player, forcing a reset, the player will have to restart the game on an empty file, each time.
-Another reason, the hack is too short (a single level with two exits) and can be easily beaten under 5 minutes approximately, which is not acceptable to be in the section.
While the resetting thing per se is not an issue, as per submission guidelines for troll hacks, softlocks and crashes are allowed when executed well, if you do force a reset it's best to not make the player lose an exorbitant amount of progress.
In this particular case, you don't lose an exorbitant amount of progress, given that this hack is only a single level which is, again, not enough playtime to be acceptable.
The better here would be adding more levels to this hack and enabling the save prompt on each level, making sure each reset will be safe without affecting the save files.
