Decided to go and test a random Nitrome game before bed:

Played for a few minutes. Dealt with some slowdown, but that's the only issue. [performance]

Went and gave another a quick test:

Clicking an external link freezes the game. Clicking it in fullscreen causes the screen to become squished as well:

Gameplay has no accuracy issues, but suffers slowdown. Seems to be a trend with Nitrome's catalogue. [performance]

Stick war start buttons cause a softlock on level 1. The game is unplayable. I tried on newgrounds player as well. Same thing happens on multiple websites.

Oh weird, I wonder if that was happening before, or if something stopped working since we started all this?

Tested on Low Quality and High Quality.

Low Quality: Game suffers slowdown in rooms with sparkle effects (from doors or items), but runs full-speed otherwise.

High Quality: Game suffers slowdown, regardless of room.


Given the circumstances, chances are the SFX used in-game is causing the slowdown. [performance]

Went and quickly tested the original Swindler, since its sequel is already ruffled:

Game crashes when clicking an external link (likely a Firefox issue), but that's the only issue I could find - game runs fullspeed, with no accuracy issues. [enable ruffle]

Went and quickly tested Cyber Chaser: Counterthrust, given the original game is ruffled:

Played for a few minutes, found no issues. Given this is essentially the original game with altered sprites, this isn't shocking. [enable ruffle]

Went and played Scarlet Stranger to test the controller mapping:

Experienced lengthy stutters in room transitions. Not sure if a Firefox issue, or more general.

Played a couple games, found no issues. [enable ruffle]

(Part of me also feels games like these could be bundled into a "SOPA" collection, to show NG's reponse to the notorious Stop Online Piracy Act.)

Unlocked all medals except "Super City Escapist" in Ruffle.

Both Ruffle and NG player experienced issues - character damage animations do not play in Ruffle, whilst NG Player suffers constant slowdown.

Additionally, Big Bang Theory's hitbox in the character select screen prevents Motion Picture of Shaq from being selectable in Ruffle, rendering the medal "Super City Escapist" unachievable. This issue does not happen in NG Player, however - not sure of the cause.

Additionally, character names are scrambled in the character select screen, but only for characters with blue names:

This looks to be a bit of a rabbit hole. Likely worth investigating further.
