Sorry about that, and thanks for the report! I just uploaded a new Windows version that should fix the performance issues (among lots of other stuff). Please shout if any other issues come up
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
