Thanks for playing~ We're actually not sure why there's lag spikes (and still investigating) because on our side the game takes a while to start but during play, it's as normal. It could be an itch thing, but we're not too sure either. Thanks for sharing your ideas though. They may be imncorporated if we decide to proceed with a full version. Right now, the main programmer is catching up on some needed sleep and the secondary programmer (me) sprained his back halfway during the jam so a lot of things had to be cut :'( Thanks again for your time!
