The intro spun up my fans then crashed Firefox when I tried to resize the window. Switched to Chrome, still spun up the fans and was extremely slow even when just rendering the slowly appearing text. Clicked through a few of the prompts then quit when it seemed like there was no game and it was struggling to just display text, lol.

It’s trying to get that septillion joules of energy
What a plot twist
Worked smooth on my iPhone.

That animation is credited to someone else.

OK, so I tried it on an iPhone and it is super smooth and the text typing renders at a reasonable speed. For some reason on Windows in either Chrome or Firefox the whole thing runs at like 5 fps and is super bugged. This is probably the reason so many people gave up on it. You can't just click through the text, you have to wait for it to slowwwwly type out each page which for the first one takes minimum 30 seconds, even while clicking and pressing enter to speed up the text.
On the iPhone you can touch the screen and it will speed up.
yes, I'm not sure you understood my comment.
I gave up waiting
