Refresh Rate and Penguin Dash (and also Present Bounce)
Updated 2 years ago by sadkay

While cleaning up the leaderboards to prepare for Christmas, I thought I'd move this discovery from the forums over here.

If you feel the penguin or the presents are moving slower than what you see in others' runs, please check your refresh rate in your device's settings. Several games give you time advantages/losses depending on your display refresh rate. Currently, the only two games known to be affected by this are Penguin Dash and Present Bounce. Penguin Dash seems to have a speed cap for the penguin, at a refresh rate of 60Hz. (This means if you have a refresh rate lower than 60Hz, the penguin will move slower than normal. But, if you have a refresh rate higher than 60Hz, the penguin will move as fast as a 60Hz penguin.) Present Bounce does not have a speed cap for how fast the presents can move. Therefore, we have imposed a refresh rate cap of 60Hz on Present Bounce. (This discovery was made by @mechagodzilla18.)
