The framerate is a consistent 60 fps without any stuttering. I also tested on higher resolutions, also with no framerate/stuttering issues. There is a weird repeating filter over the screen and on some textures, this is especially noticeable with higher resolutions. I do not know if this behavior is intended, or a bug. Unsure if I should rate this as playable or perfect.	lordalex2
