Damn. That looks really bad. I have an idea of what might cause this though and it should be a simple fix if I'm right. I'll try to patch it today.

Thank you for trying the game out!

I did a small update. See the added "CONFIG" section in the readme.

I also adjusted some things related to display sync and CPU utilization, which could help as well. It's not a guaranteed fix though.
