Fatherboard
We all know about the Motherboard, but have you ever heard of fatherboard?
Fatherboard is a retro, sci-fi metroidvania about exploring a spaceship you came across on your inter galactic travels.
Controls:
- Arrow keys to move left and right
- Z to jump
- X is occasionally used in menus
- A to toggle stars (Turning off stars may help decrease lag)
*** In beta testing we had some issues with the html version of fatherboard. If you are having issues, try playing here: https://tic80.com/play?cart=1931
*** The collisions are made by me, and have some glitches that may make the game hard to play.

jumping is just as unresponsive in both versions.
Well that's not supposed to happen... Just to clarify, you're using the z key on your keyboard, right?
yes
Alright, can you press escape and then choose "Gamepad config" from the menu, and then send me a screenshot of that? it should look like something like this:
that's exactly what it looks like.
P.S. what I meant was that the jump button/key seems to suffer much more from lag than the walk buttons/keys, causing many narrow ledge jumps to fail. (forcing many a restart of difficult enough sections)
Ok, I'm going to add the option to free up some CPU by removing the stars in the background. (Also, this could be because all of the collisions/camera movement are made by me (TIC-80 doesn't have them built-in like other game engines) and they have some bugs.
EDIT: You can now press A to toggle stars. It doesn't seem to be reducing lag to much though, maybe I'll try something else in a while.
