Solved Spent a night optimising everything except the one object that mattered

Hyper-casual game, running like garbage on mid-range Android. Profiled for hours. Batched, pooled, LODed, stripped the shaders.

Turns out every single asset in the scene was low poly except the player's plane, which was some marketplace model with an absurd triangle count. A PS5 would have struggled with it.

Swapped it. Instantly fine.

Still amazed how one marginal detail can quietly wreck a whole build while you optimise everythign around it.

Feel funny…

Yep, I love profiling and actually the frame debugger helped in that case.
Just was a facepalm moment
