I don’t think there was actual punishment code written. The software for the mobile version just records at what wall clock time the next life will be granted. So, if you advance the wall clock, you gain additional lives early. If you go back in time, you have to wait longer for additional lives.

The same code which (unintentionally) allows cheating also (unintentionally) adds what is called punishment here.
