A real shame about the lag, but a really cute art style and a nice palette and soundtrack (is that Trap?) The gameplay seems like it could have been fun, but I was fighting a serious amount of lag and the loss of frames and broken music was getting quite irritating haha
Try uploading it with a smaller resolution, it currently takes up more of the screen than most entries I've played, perhaps that's causing the lag?
GB Studio suggests uploading at 480 (width) x 432 (height) for Web browser games

I am sorry to hear that all the issues you are running into.
I picked the resolution because its still less than half the height of my resolution and didn't think about looking at the avg of other games. For the lag we have found that the audio lag can be caused by lower internet speeds, we should have used a more compressed format than wav. for the loss of frames we have a issue on the movement that makes it non-pixel perfect that causes bg jitter, do you think that is what you are seeing? if not would you mind sending me a recording so I can look into it more.
i’m pretty sure it’s not a graphical issue causing the lag. it runs at the 160x144 pixel resolution and just scaled up to 800x720, which isn’t very big. my guess is that it may be loading the audio that is causing it but we’re not sure. did the lag continue for you for a while? for me, it only last a about 10 seconds before the music stops stuttering.
I’m definitely not zoomed in at all on the browser and I’m on a MacBook Pro which has 3456 x 2234 resolution. I’ve played around 50 other games in this Jam and a lot more before outside of the Jam, most fit absolutely fine inside the browser, some have full screen option to combat the issue, but ocassionally a game is just too big and either the top or bottom have to be sacrificed to play.
I’m not sure what causes this, but it does crop up fairly often, 1/20 games.
hmmm. doesn’t make any sense to me as my screen is lower resolution (about half the size) and the game easily fits in my browser window. i appreciate all the info though! hopefully we’ll figure this issue out at some point so it can be prevented in the future. your game looks great btw, i’ll check it out soon!
