As soon as I try to start playing, the game takes 100% CPU for a moment, then eats up all my RAM and drops to one frame every few seconds until either it crashes or I quit. Leave it long enough (I think less than a minute) and I get “call failed” errors for things like CreateTexture2D, and every open window on my system goes blank and unusable.

The Itch launcher doesn’t know how to handle self-extracting archives (I think it expects straight-up .zip or .rar?), but once I find the game exe, it runs smooth! Although gamepad aiming seems to be broken.
Any idea what the issue was with the old version? It was absolutely toxic to my system, let alone unplayable.
ok thanks for the info about the exe, will fix that asap! The previous version was pretty old, I've been working on optimizations for the past year or so. It was also using GameMaker's interpreted language rather than compiled. Big part of the issue was the shadow system, it was drawing a room-sized surface on every tile layer
