The game's optimization is praised for its performance, as being a compiled language minimizes issues like stuttering and slowdown commonly found in interpreted languages. Users appreciate the flexibility to adjust code speed easily, even if the initial optimization isn't perfect.
- “It's a compiled language, so you're not going to have problems with stuttering and slowdown associated with interpreted alternatives. In fact, for most projects, I find I have to slow the code down, which is easy to do with the inbuilt commands that are very forgiving if your code doesn't have the best optimization.”
- “The optimization in this game is severely lacking, leading to frequent frame drops and a generally unresponsive experience.”
- “Despite the potential for great performance, the game's optimization feels rushed and incomplete, resulting in a frustrating gameplay experience.”
