Update #4: Technical Triumphs!
Greetings, Wheel Runners! We're back with exciting news on our journey. Our development team has been hard at work optimizing Wheel Runner's performance, aiming for a buttery-smooth 30 FPS experience.
We've specifically enhanced the sprite recycling functionality (we call it "spritecycling") alongside accelerating some of the slower parts of the game.
And in the meantime, we learned to write better Lua. Don't miss this week's video to find out more about how you can make your game run faster!
