Comment on Show HN: Play the game I'm developing directly on its websiteparent

Oh that sucks. If you don't mind helping me troubleshoot the issue: Does this also happen with a Chromium based browser? Any chance you could profile using Firefox's web tools and send it to me (Find my details on twitter.com/cpojer or on the bottom of cpojer.net).

Firefox has not been a focus for the game as it mostly ships on Chromium/WebKit based browsers/app wrappers, but the landing page should still work great.

It's very laggy on my phone too. (Several seconds input delay.) That's fairly normal for a game made in React though (at least the ones I've tried). Is the paid version also made in React?

For some context, my phone is old (2016) but I do find it amusing that it can run this page with a physics engine and 3D rendering without any lag http://kripken.github.io/box2d.js/demo/webgl/box2d.html

Your game looks great though, and the website matches it perfectly! Nice work

(As an aside, I'd urge you to take the from-scratch ethos just one step further and make you next game without any libraries, or with sensible exceptions like Howler and Pixi.)

Firefox/Linux also runs extremely slow for me and turns on all the fans of my processor. I've got a gaming notebeook. I'll see if I can get it to profile for you
