Everything was moving so fast, it was borderline unplayable. The fire effects were flickering so quickly I'm wondering if its moving faster than designed.
It must be a gamemaker bug that happens with 144Hz displays. Press Page Up in gameplay to show FPS, if it doubled (120 FPS intead of 60) then this is the case. Try using fix, turn V-sync on, press Cntrl+Alt+F2, also some people report that alt-tabbing helps.
