the lag is caused by layer effects (the glow effect on the moon). I'm pretty sure I added an option to turn off effects in the settings, since it can strain weaker hardware
I made that comment about a year ago, and since then I've realised exactly this. At the time, I really did not want any copies of these games online at all, for many reasons.
I get people in the community telling me about new reuploads, and I have to explain to them basically what you said, which is that more reuploads will keep showing up, the primary reason being that they're trying to preserve lost media. While I don't really prefer that, I'm not completely against it anymore either. Ultimately, you can't stop people
A reupload of any remakes will be met with fury however.
I don't know how you commented on this though, since the page is currently down?
you can go into "C:/Users/yourusername/AppData/Local/Catto_Boi_-_Journey_To_Catto_Land", and copy your save data file from there to anywhere else on your drive, maybe your Desktop, etc.
when you place it back into the game's save directory it should still work fine, but if it doesn't, I'll try to investigate it
the game is only available for Windows. you could try Parallels to run it in a virtual machine, but it might degrade the performance by a lot, so I wouldn't recommend it
