Thanks for giving it a try! Sorry to hear it was slow on your
laptop, would you be willing to post the specs? If you're
running without a dedicated GPU then the performance likely
won't be great, especially if it's an older generation of
onboard graphics.
I have a gaming laptop: ASUS TUF F15. It's the first time I
bought one and I'm not yet familiar with how the discrete
graphics card should work. I guess, it should be almost the same
as PC.
One thing you could try is disabling "Soft Shadows" in the
settings menu. This feature was recently added and likely won't
perform well without a GPU as it uses a shader for smoothing
the edges of the shadows from light sources.
I tried running it on PC. Works smoothly. So, it's my laptop, but
I have no clue why.
I think I may just build a simple tutorial mode to acquaint the
player with the control scheme, especially since the W key
thing is a bit unorthodox. This way I would be able to display
a prompt on first launch asking if they want to do the
tutorial, and they'd be able to re-visit it too if they wanted.
A prompt is a good idea. That would make it a lot easier for
first-time players.
I update the project fairly frequently so be sure to give it a
follow if you have an itch account! Alternatively, you can
subscribe to the devlog RSS feed to get updates without an

I saved the link; will visit your blog from time to time.
