HA! I hear yah man. I think one thing about the game is it can come across as easy. I've gotten some great feedback here and am excited about putting my all into a sequel for this one. Learned a lot this time around and still have things I'd like to do with STEVE and Max! Thanks for the play and the comment! Best, -Tim
It really shouldn't lag unless maybe you're playing on a netbook with no hardware blit support? The game relies heavily on hardware blitting because Flash isn't fast enough to do these games using per-pixel drawing commands.
If you're on a low-powered device make sure you haven't zoomed in your browser window too, because that adds a lot to the game's processing.
Just click "Cinematic Mode" on the bar above the game.
